Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

We got he luck in the first leg and still bottled it, like we do every year in the CL.

We got a fair penalty, it's not so much luck as getting a fair call. Still would have won if not for being screwed, you need that luck. Dembele missing a sitter right at the end in the Nou Camp to make it 4-0 against the Dippers, all the cheating favours they got the year before to knock us out etc. Consistent, top quality doesn't win the CL more often than not, the teams that do tend to have sizeable chunks of luck when they most need them to get by. It's knockout football.
 
City fans seem obsessed with Liverpool now. Completely negative emotion. City can still win things and although we can't be there, it will still be an achievement by the players who we still have a connection with because the break is temporary.

This thread is depressing. Every time I open it, there's another football fan hating on the game that has given us so much pleasure. Self-harm. Remember the Aguero 93:20 moment, and Yaya's goals at Wembley.

I am told football has shown its greed. Hello. The profit motive has run society ever since the factory owners displaced the land-owners. Football is no more capital and labour than your own employer who will be calling on your services sooner rather than later. Some people claim football doesn't care about health. I am not so sure about this but feel instinctively that the transmission of respiratory viruses takes place in closed settings like call centres, offices, restaurants, clubs, pubs, factories and homes. All places where fans are and where some football players are too.I suspect footballers are more likely to fall ill at home or in socialising than in playing football in the open air.

A significant objection is that when people are dying they do not feel in the mood to watch football. And yet people watch films, and read books and do many things to take their minds off football. It is good to do so.

It's become trendy to bash football just like it was in the 1980s. Seems like it's happening again.
I replied earlier giving you the view of the ex chelsea physio, you obviously didn't see it, players are more prone to infection because of the amount of physical activity, can't be arsed retracing my posts, so to answer you, players are more at risk playing and training than any other group of "workers " bar obviously those that have contact with the virus patients
 
The sensible suggestion being the one er, suggested...in my opinion of course.....pause the season, and resume it as and when safe to do so.....could easily be the end of the year.

So if next season is cancelled or postponed, there are essentially not as many consequences.....possibly just dont have a 20/21 season
Erm next year we should have less people dying but let's push to finish this one when we haven't even really started unlocking the nation,forget this season and plan for the next one when things are clearer
 
Rubbish
Less chance of dying but still very dangerous. We have little data yet for the way this disease absolutely wrecks people’s lungs permanently. There is plenty of anecdotal stuff coming in though.

That is ok then,don't worry about players having no symptoms spreading it to their families

All ages are getting very sick and need ventilating and have long lasting lung damage but so long as they don't die all is wel!

Righto
Tiny percentage of under 45s who have it need hospital treatment.

If we have little data about “the way this disease absolutely wrecks people’s lungs permanently” then how do you know it does ??
