Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

So they can have a quick dabble with the fixtures if required - after all this was only ever about getting the Dippers the title and United into the CL. Any fixture change will be passed off as TV coverage related.

Both the dippers and the rags will have 2 games against bottom half of the table teams just to ensure the objective is met under the guise of TV scheduling.

What’s a woman’s time of the month got to do with it?

hehe

Didn't souness say something similar the other day, if he tested positive he would keep it schtum.

It isn't a shock that an organisation such as the FA and the premier league who cheat, fiddle, fix, adjust outcomes of matches/seasons would do something as disgusting as hiding a positive covid test result just to get the ball rolling.

Fuck me they really must be skint and really really must be running out of pennies.

I'm out for good if this shit is true, horrible selfcentred ****s.

what would happen if city pulled the plug due to infection,they cant carry on surely or would they let Liverpool play at least two games

So now we have over 44,000 deaths due to Covid19. This is now the new update figure. However it is still safe to play football. If Scotland can call it off why can't we do the same thing. It is not worth risking a players health just to try and finish the season.

I still wonder if the players will be covered with their insurance should they catch it while either training or playing.

dont think its about being skint, said it before and now again,VAR has been outstanding in putting Liverpool on the top, can you imagine the kind of money thats backed them from the start on the Asia markets,money that will find its way to top representatives of the FA and premiership,we all know UEFA are bent, its throughout the whole game,but to get there money they have to complete the season or no payout

ballino why worry some how it will get leaked. Just like those clubs in Italy, Spain and Germany. The problem will be if there are 2 or more clubs say 1 or 2 days before they are due to start. The clubs do a press release and say sorry, we can't play for 2 weeks due to players self isolating. I wonder what would happen then.

It’s weird that no one in the media ever talks about the accuracy of the tests! It’s around 70% accurate! All players staff need to be tested every day for a week and it be negative before any player considers coming back just to train!

Indeed..

Posted a couple of weeks ago about this and all the other 'unknowns' that you and other Blues on here have touched upon. Organising and running each game behind closed doors would require involving between 300-400 people on every occasion. You can test people all week prior to it happening but if one of them gets infected on the way into a game and passes on that infection, bingo!, you've got a potential local spike right there that could spread within a week.

Can the Premier League guarantee that this will not happen? No, I didn't think so.. And don't even get me going on the prospect of people gathering together near grounds where the games are to be played, or in large numbers to watch the games at home..

Even the most cursory glance over websites such as the WHO's and The Lancet's to see what the research papers published thus far state will tell you that the biggest fear of all the medics/researchers/scientists et al involved is for a 2nd wave to be allowed to occur. It scares the 'bejaysus' out of them. We really shouldn't be doing anything that might exacerbate the horrendous death rate we have already suffered as a nation.

There is still a huge amount of work to be done to get on top of this virus until we find a vaccine and we all will have to play our part. Pity the g*bsh*tes at the Premier League are threatening that national effort..

Is that a myth these betting markets or am I being Mr Gullible again?
I always thought it was just a bit of finger pointing.
