Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

That is the real reason some fans don't want to restart the football but they are going to given the title whichever way it goes.

Those who don't want football to start should ask themselves what they want in August when the season kicks off again. Are you going to postpone that as well? Football clubs will not survive, just like any other occupation/ industry if you just give up.

I'm one who doesn't want football to start. As to what I'd like in August - back at work, holiday with family, see relatives, kids getting new uniforms for school as normal in September, flour in the shops. You may notice football is not on the list - make of that what you will, maybe it's a question of priorities?
 
It’s probably already been said but unless the same circumstances are kept then there is no justification for carrying on. Forget the dippers for a moment. If you are battling relegation and you have lost away from home to a fellow relegation struggler, then the return leg is in a neutral ground with no crowd, you have lost home advantage that the other team had. This can not be right. There should only be two options:
1) Null and void the league
2) Award the dippers the league and null and void relegation.

If it were anyone else I would go for option 2 but seen as it’s those bus wrecking cûnts it has to be option 1.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have held talks with a German tech company who have developed an app which allows fans to send virtual cheers or jeers from their homes to stadiums in under a second, in an attempt to generate an atmosphere behind closed doors. [

I wonder if "fuck sake, Gundogan, you're shit" would pass their filters.
 
The app also gives clubs the option of using different sound levels for home and away supporters. Clubs would be offered use for free with a potential share in revenue raised, and fans likely to be charged £1 for the initial download with no additional cost. [

What do you want Karen? Very reasonable to have this info sent in “under a second” as the match will be shortened to 5 minutes in length.
 
Kevin De Bruyne is representing Manchester City in sharing players' concerns on Project Restart over WhatsApp, with the PFA then reporting issues back to the Premier League.

So true , if i was offeredsome normality but no football for a few months , i would snatch their hand off , its basic common sense , risk peoples lives verus watching football , if this government seriously thinks football returning in a couple of weeks is going to raise our spirits , then this country is in a lot of trouble.
 
End it now and give Liverpool the title means the rags end 5th. No way that will be allowed to happen even with our uncertain position next season.

The two strongest lobbying clubs in England both with a reason to play again. What do you think will happen.

Are people really suggesting that the first industry, in this country, in which all employees are tested daily for this virus should be football?

Not care workers going into care homes or carers visiting people who need support. Not people who work in the food production industries. Not people working in the NHS looking after the sick

I think the goverment and people in authority need to think who are key workers vital to this country and those that just entertain and prioritise accordingly

I'm seriously wondering who is actually running the show. Car dealers, Premier League or the Government? I think we should be told!

I won't be watching, so no need for the app thanks.

and it will be an even bigger spike when 30,000 Liverpool fans turn up at a neutral venue for the match that might mean they win the league for the first time in 30 years, plus the other 50,000 that turn up at Anfield and Liverpool City centre when they do indeed win their second friendly in the newly formed no relegation Premier League.
The police will not be able to stop them and when they all disperse to the four corners of this country it will make the 28,000 deaths look like a manageable number.

in that case we could see one virus wipe out another
 
May as well get EA involved and use their FIFA game with a nominated player from each club, to complete the season. It’s getting that fuckin stupid now.

Ive got to be honest, I have no longer any interest in the PL. When, as a match going fan, I can return to the normal way of attending a football match then I will be there, but in its current and suggested guises I literally couldn’t give a fuck.

It has always been a league without integrity, based on financial and political decision making. All that has happened is the virus has brought it to the front line.
