Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[AsaMac]

If the season tries to restart, with lots of testing, then a few players will surely start to test positive before the competitive games commence. Whole teams will start to self isolate and the fairness of the process will be questioned by a braying media that loves to have someone to knock and denigrate. The PL will be accused of diverting resources away from the needy. It would be PR disaster.
We all love football on this site but we should remember that the real national sport is being critical of others.

Just hearing on LBC news that premier league given go ahead by government from 1st June onwards, as long as the ‘R’ allows it. Now down to the players...

I thought the R was for Raz ;-)

May 25th wasn't it ?

Think so. Undoubtedly they'll say it's going ahead no matter what at that point because it'll be easier to go from "yes to no" than the other way about.

I've noticed it's broadcasters and chairmen pushing the completion. Players are important in this. What happens to squad harmony if a couple of players with young families decide they don't want to play?

That all depends on how much the PL will be paying Gordon Taylor to talk the players into agreeing to play.

Football clubs will be selling face masks with the club emblem on them.
