Confirmed that the Dortmund game will go ahead.

In a word, virtue signalling.
(I know it's two words btw, to save somebody the trouble of pointing it out)

Yeah for a bunch of folks who complain a lot about 'virtue signalling' they sure are doing a lot of it right now.

Dortmund game going ahead so why can't the Spurs and Wolves games? And I don't mean practically, because UEFA and FA are different organisations. But come on, man.

The whole thing is unbelievable. Thank god for streaming services so some of us can get away from all this nonsense.

Unfortunately, it’s going to stop thousands of people who work at football clubs earning money at the games, but in the flip-side it’s also going to stop thousands of fans pissing a load of money we haven’t really got at the moment up the wall.

If it was fairly applied to all sports i'd be for it, or more for it

but the fact Rugby fans can all sing and drink in the stands, cricket fans the same and other sporting events going ahead - but football can't is nonsense and ridiculous

I go to the rugby mate. Trust me, you don’t want beer allowed in the stands at the footy. It’s a fucking nightmare!

It is, but another good point is why the fuck are people still living their lives based on what the fucking Daily Mail think?

I constantly question how that horrible, lying, fear mongering piece of shit rag is the most powerful piece of propaganda in the country, but, to be fair, this is probably the least egregious of their acts of influence.

It’s actually one of the few opportunities people will get to pay their respects, en masse. Cricket fans will get it, rugby fans will get it, horse racing goers will get it, but not the supporters of the national game. Huge missed opportunity as far as I can see.

Would have made the games feel like bigger occasions n’all, I reckon. But it’s done now so let’s just try and enjoy the weekend doing other things.

Confirmed that the Dortmund game will go ahead.

They play at 14:30 tomorrow, so now we get a nice rest ahead of that. Puts us at an advantage now. Get that won, get a good result against Copenhagen and we’re pretty much qualified then.

See, there’s always a positive to be taken!
