Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Absolute joke! Players wearing face masks down to the pitch, no handshakes but social distancing observed. whistle blows, players crash into each other, sweating and spitting all over the place.
Just goes to show how desperate they are to get the gravy train running again.
This is what the PL & FA needed to see to say ‘They’ve done it Germany, let’s get ours going’
It’s a joke & unnfortunately, we have more bellends who support teams in red that won’t stay away from grounds either.
Switched off already.

Good man, it is not getting air time in our house.
 
Just saw a few pics from the news reports...

Subs social distancing while also wearing face masks. Then they are expected to go in and play a full contact sport?

F me. Guess the mobster gamblers really went all in. LOL
 
It feels like a pre-season friendly with no atmosphere and the players would prefer to be anywhere else. If this is what a derby feels like, some throwaway games with Burnley with nothing at stake is not going to be lifting anyone's morale. Do Liverpool want to win the trophy like this? I'd prefer to be handed it, tbh.
 
Not a great match at Dortmund. Haaland is some player though. Could bag us 20-30 goals a season easily.

I'm not saying that teachers don't care about the kids, although there are good and bad teachers like in every other profession, i'm saying the unions don't give a fuck. We were lucky that my daughter' went to really good schools and her teachers were 95% fantastic at school, less so but still perfectly adequate since she's been at a sixth form college so I've no personal axe to grind but some of the stories I've heard from parents whose kids went to schools less focused on giving them a good education make my blood boil.

I agree with your point that teachers these days get far less respect from both parents and pupils which has made their job so much harder

It’s not helped by ****s repeating second hand stories is it?

Dortmund have settled into it a bit, but not great. First touches are clumsy, not many tackles flying around, closing down is casual, and celebrations are muted: feels somewhere between a training game, a pre-season friendly, and a last game of the season between two mid-table sides that can't even move up or down a position but without any of the fans having a laugh to amuse themselves. A lot of the players don't look thrilled to be there, tbh.

Sounds dire mate.
 
I won't be one of the people contributing to the number of viewers so that they can turn around and say, "look how many people watched the German games, the public obviously want this".
 
If everybody switches off and they get appalling viewing figures, it weakens the argument that we need football back to improve the morale of the nation

The majority were going to answer that lime you thought they would.
Its just normal top flight football without a crowd..
How many times have you read on here that premier match with a full house was dire and no atmosphere.
Look at a City matchthread , its what they say for most matches
 
My lad is watching the German match in his room. I can hear the match mostly the players shouting. It doesnt sound great without fans. Now if the premier league restarts I guess the tv companys would have to turn all mic's of pitchside as you would ever swear word, or are all matches going to be after the 9pm watershed ?. If not our matches will be played in complete silence.

Correct and two huge big fingers to those of us who pay over our hard earned money to actually attend matches in the stadium. I am disgusted with the powers that be that have shown they do not value us at all. Lifting the nations moral my arse!

Yup. We're a commodity worth slightly less than the cocaine the fat cats sniff off their mahogany desks.

I reckon if the season restarts we will piss the league. We have no crowd so the players will not be affected, while Liverpool without the mighty kop and the bestest atmosphere ever willnot be able to cope.
