Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Three Brighton players tested positive for Covid-19.

I'd say surely that has to be the end of any discussion about resuming in May or June, but given the Bundesliga has a similar situation and is still pushing ahead, won't hold my breath.

If football restarts and it starts the second wave who will the media blame? For me it has to be the government if they give the go ahead today that premier can start in June.

I blame the media all they've done since the lockdown is push to get football started again

Faroe Islands

While other European leagues wrestle with the implications of coronavirus, the tiny Atlantic archipelago – which is currently reporting no known cases – kicked off its new Betri League season on Saturday.

The Faroe islands are back playing football. That should be peak tv viewing.

a game behind closed doors a goal is scored and the players stand 2 meters away and say well done or are footballers allowed to hug each other but millions of people cant hug their mums and dads or boy friends or girl friends …..seems fair !

But who has the power to stop it? Boris knows all the facts has had it and knows what it’s like! It be down to him! Also if we had locked down 2 weeks earlier and less deaths but we could be locked down for 6 months no one leaving the house but if there isn’t a vaccine once they let everyone out one person with the virus can infect the country in a month.
