Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Just caught 5 mins of GMB before having to turn it off due to Morgan. Just before they went to an ad break a very quick ticker tape appeared saying "Liverpool set to lift trophy as voiding season ruled out". Anyone see that or can add any further info

It says they're about to ' top the league ' but whether this means they'll be awarded a league title they never actually won, I just don't know.

Sky did an article on this. Apparently, even though it’s only based on a small number of games, home advantage win percentage actually goes up behind closed doors.

Look at it this way. Sunday league teams play with no significant crowds and yet play better on a home pitch than away.

My bad. It did say though that the league wouldn't be voided. It was only up there for a few moments though and not seen anywhere else communicating the same message

Beeb sport headline just said the pl are looking to finish the games, but Raz has now raised concerns as it is too early

Surely if the Government did the right thing and put the Prem out of their misery by saying..., “no way will football commence until Life is anywhere near back to some kind of normality” that would put an end to all the liable suits !!!!!
Going around in circles and very soon the hierarchy of the Prem will suffocate up their own arses

The best outcome failing null and void is awarding them the title, if it wasn’t tainted by VAR it will be now, the title they never won, fantastic, the flags the piss take will last a lifetime, imagine they don’t win it again for years, it will always be the false title.

I wonder if the government said to Masters and his cronies......"finish your season,but if any fatalities result because of it...YOU personally will be held responsible"

I bet they would change their tune.

20 mil withheld for not finishing the season, it’d cost us more to stage the games.

It will cost them more in lawsuits should the worst happen and a player contracts and dies with the virus because they insisted on the stupid fucking games being played whilst its evidently not safe to do so.

Hotels ordered to stay shut until the beginning of July.

Where will all the players stay.

Or will they also be expected to travel,play travel.With zero preparation/recuperation.

6 hours on a coach, get changed in the car park and straight back on in dirty kit after for a 6 hour drive home lol.

Football isn't coming back and this is an exercise in being seen to be trying to do everything they can to do it but knowing they cant.
