Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[King KdB of Belgium]

The only way the Premier league rulers will declare the season null and void is for 1 player/coaching staff to be come seriously ill or God forbid even die.

Because it costs the PL £4m to provide the (current) 1600 tests. Women are probably not worth it

I get the reason why ;) but I dont see how the ladies pfa arent saying that its against the law to just make it safe for the males. Or why arent the mens pfa saying they want the women to be treated the same as the men. Why arent the government questioning why the womens game is treated differently.

At City they employ men and women to play football buy only the men are being checked. Or is it the premier league paying for it ?

So out of the 770 odd players and staff being tested around 220 of them could be infected? Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

The Times reports on its front page that "no cases of coronavirus have been confirmed for Monday across London and Eastern England in an area of 15 million."

Can that be be true? It must be. You don't get something like that wrong.

Yet 3 at Watford FC were confirmed ? Don't they count, and if they have it, someone gave it them.

Still working on a plan to get that result over turned.

There are so many variables for these tests, so many factors, i can't believe it's not being made a big deal of. Dame Angela seemed to be really snakey when being asked about the reliability of testing, i think they are just happy that they're able to say they've done tests now, doesn't matter how reliable they are.
