Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[cleavers]

Because that's what's happened on the biggest population on Earth: China, and it's what's happening in one of the most densely populated countries on Earth: South Korea. If the host population shrinks, transmission collapses.

In my opinion what you've got now are national governments who realise that that virus is about to be wiped out taking drastic measures so that they can take political credit.

You might want to revisit your comment on S Korea, yesterday 35 new cases, today its 242 new cases.

The cartel cashing in on the chaos.

Dan Roan has just tweeted he's been told premier League will ahead as normal this weekend

City 10 games to play, 57 pts.
Win 10/10, finish on 87 pts.
Dippers 9 games to play, 82 pts.

Win 2 or get 6/27 possible pts, finish on 88 pts.

Has a team ever won 10/10? Of course, City did more than once.
Has a team ever failed to get 6/27 pts?
Sunderland lost 9 in a row in 2006.

Calling the league over before the league is over means a trip to the high court.
Not only for title award but for the European places, EPL prize money and relegation. West Ham went to court over the Tevez situation remember.

Play offs? With PGMOL &VAR?
What if you are 1pt from safety for relegation and then lose your play off games? Do you get relegated?

Scrap the season.
Stand by for Dipper meltdown.

exactly it’s never over until it’s over.

Void this Premier league and start over in August if the coronavirus is solved by then.

what’s the point in postponing? You postpone for two weeks, two weeks pass the situation stays the same or gets worse and you postpone again.

the virus is still growing, even in China albeit very slowly, the growth is still there, when do you claim it’s safe and start playing again?

And do you doubt any footballer couldn't pass it on?

No.

Well that's what you all get for voting a clown in.

Voting in a clown was inevitable when all the candidates were clowns. Pick your clown.

OK everything is postponed , cancelled, banned. When we all come out of hiding, it'll still be around and will spread again because not enough of us caught it and developed antibodies first time round. These things hang around for years/ permanently , better off taking the simple precautions and letting it run its course. Hard facts of life

Kind of a thick interpretation of how virology works...

 

[Fordyboy46]

Oh well, fuck it. Just cancel the whole season now, turning into a farce now.

Of course it will. Load of unscrupulous ****s running and involved for it not to.

Has to be cancelled now, only fair way is to replay the entire season across all leagues next season, I do think though they will have to freeze transfers etc which then causes issues on its own for players going out of contract etc

Be a shit load of clubs failing FFP without TV money and matchday revenue as well...
