You're so right, I doubt people dying has crossed anybodies minds in the least.

Voiding and cancelling the league will have absolutely zero impact on that...the league doesnt have to be finished by the end of may

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Not me but as the rules of the competition have been changed it's not the same competition.

This season is over any restart even with the same rules as before would damage the integrity of the league due to the lenght of the break.

To restart with no fans, no VAR, no home advantage, shorter halfs, more subs, etc is a bloody joke in my eyes. I mean to scrap VAR after it's done its job in getting liverpool so close is a bloody insult to us fans, VAR has f**ked up so many games this season, but now we cant have 3 refs in the same room but it's ok for 22 players and ref to run around next to each other .......joke

Again, yous are misunderstanding what im saying....i have never suggested restarting with no fans or no var or shorter halfs or any of that absolute bollox....i am suggesting just stalling the league....wait until all is back to normal....or as safely possible....and carry on, no change. All teams will have the same advantage/disadvantage.

It will probably be Xmas by the time its sorted...or even later....so no point having a 20/21 season.....prepare for the Euros....get that done, back in for the 21/22 season.....

yeah lets delay the season for 12 months to finish off less than 10 games.


HAHA what??

just stop and think for one second.
you think they should finish this season, doesnt matter when because they can fuck next season off.?

they are whinging about 300m they might have to pay back ,and you really think they will forego 4 billion(or whatever they get between them for a season)read it carefully,think what you've previously posted and post again.

Liverpool set to be crowned champions as voiding season is written off according to sky.

Give it to them, no relegation in any leagues, 6 teams promoted, 4 relegated next year, no domestic cups next year, revenue from extra games next year for tv.

Guarantee the elite teams in C.L to keep Uefa happy and play that behind closed doors at least early on. Spread the qualifying money to help teams in financial difficulties. Change the format for one season to the super league thing they want.

Basically the league ended on last games date. Return to usual format season after.

Everyones happy apart from some teams maybe miffed about missing out on Europe, but unprecedented times and all that. Ones who where in for a shout at promotion in 7th etc will have a better shot next year.

Then we can focus on a date for starting next season and put this behind us as anything after this month is fucking next season up and this season is already dead.

Just seen this with Geoff Shreeves, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

Absolute bollocks.

I hope the majority of clubs tell the FA to shove it

So we open football stadia, allow those under 45 in to watch the games and the effect is that in the first month only 200 people under 45 contract the virus, 190 recover well, 4 eventually make recovery, 4 are invalids forever and 4 are killed. . Is that ok in your world?
Then consider the families that the not quite impervious under 45’s take the virus home to - and say another 50 or so over 45’s die, a couple of children too (it can actually kill at any age) another 200 people are hospitalised and half a dozen medical staff contract the virus, a couple more die.
Is it still ok in your world?

The fact of the matter is that deaths are actually increasing in some areas and Salford, which is where 2 of my kids live, is one example.
It doesn’t take that many idiots thinking that they're Impervious to it for us to see the numbers of those affected and those dying horribly rising suddenly.

As another example; in Korea (where the government took quick and effective action, so they got right on top of it), they recently opened some nightclubs. Attendees had to give their names, phone numbers & addresses upon entry so that the authorities could act promptly if a new outbreak arose.
An outbreak did arise and it was found that one bloke with no symptoms (a shedder) had infected 85 other people in the space of 2 hours in one nightclub.
Now Korea have mass testing and squads of trace and test specialists who quickly search out those at risk of having been in proximity to someone infected, so they can act effectively to eliminate new outbreaks.
We have a bumbling shambolic government so we have none of that, zilch, nada, zip, nowt - so every new outbreak here spreads like wildfire and kills many.
Even those not killed can take many months to recover, some will never fully recover because their lungs are so badly scarred that they’re invalids dependent on care for the rest of their miserable lives.

If you think about it fully, I think you’ll agree that you getting together with your mates to watch 22 blokes hoof a bladder up and down a pasture isn’t on, even if it means the loss of just one life.
If it kicks off and someone special to you gets affected I’m sure you’ll be furious at the uncaring idiots who called for its resumption.

case closed

But even stalling the league changes the league. No other league season has had a 6 month or more gap. That devalues the competition, and takes away its integrity. Are you going to force players to remain with their clubs ? Some players were planning to retire in a few weeks time, do they now stay until this season is finished ? Even if the league restarts with the original rules the break is to big.

We arent going to agree ;) I understand you want the same rules as now but dont think a big break effects the integrity of the league , which think it will !

It’s all about money so they’re hardly going to right off an additional 30 plus games to play 10. If it wasn’t all about money it would already be voided. Yes people probably want it voided because of the scousers but their plans to finish the season are a joke and obviously purely down to the big fat tv deal. There is zero integrity and everyone knows it.

Are you seriously suggesting they should write off next season simply to complete this?
