Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Yes and are they testing them every minute of each day. I could be tested and clear today and not be clear tomorrow.

They've been tested post-exposure. Chances of them subsequently catching it are as likely as any random footballer at any team having it.

The wolves players are more likely to have the virus than an Olympiakos player.

So they still have to do what every other football team in Europe is doing.

If you don't want to play games, that's fine, but Wolves only had an issue when the Olympiakos owner tested positive in case their team was exposed, and since they tested negative that complaint disappears.

Youre conflating 2 separate issues - 1) Playing any football matches and 2) Playing this specific football match.

Personally I'm happy for sport to be postponed full stop. No sport or event is more important than the possibility of potential death of any of our loved ones.

Spain has 2k infections yet fans can freely travel, a joke.

Delay the season for a few weeks, and fuck the Euros off in the summer.

There you go. Sorted.

Not exactly, if football is called off now, it won't be restarting until new cases are near zero, that certainly won't be a "few weeks".

Euros almost certain to be cancelled now.

That's UEFA's view.

Maybe, but what are the Tube's like in London at rush hour then?
There are hundreds of them every minute all packed liked sardines.

Pointless shutting down an open air event like a football match when systems like that are still running normally

Another very important thing to consider, if the season did go unfinished and PL games were missed, how the fuck would this effect the Fantasy football? :)

That's UEFA's view.

UEFA are K@nts they need taking out.

Every government, every business which are playing this down are doing so for one reason only. Let's hope their greed doesn't cripple their economy's more than need be.
