Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[nmc]

Just can’t see how any competition can retain any semblance of integrity when there has been such a long break, the remainder of the season will be played under completely different conditions and some teams are being forced to give up home advantage. It’s a complete farce and it speaks volumes about the sycophantic cozy relationship that our so called journalists have with the game that none of them (or very few) have got the balls to call this out. It’s a contrived piss take. This whole pandemic has driven a line through society and bought out the very best in some people and the absolute worst in others - I’ll leave it to others to decide which side football has come out on...

Klippety has stated he is not concerned about neutral grounds , well he wouldnt be , half of the Dipper away games are the matches that are considered high risk because oi their feral fans , ourselves , Everton and Newcastle will possibly be played at Wembley. Are the Premier league and police stupid enough to think there are'nt many Dippers living in the home counties , the whole country has had an infestation of the tw*ts. You will easily recognise the Dippers , they will be wearing fake Ray Bans having being blinded by the sunlight after emerging from under their rocks after 15 years.

Possibly, surely can't be playing anyone who we are due to play again?

And all the lower leagues have stopped haven't they

That is my point. No one has yet said who is going to do the protesting. If it is Geordies why would they ? If it is City fans, same answer. But that is the reason given for saying it has to be a neutral venue. It stinks.

Yep, the only place in the country that is even the slightest bit bothered about the Saudi takeover is Sunderland.

That is disappointing, it means BT have 30 and no indication that any will be free yet. They did all they could to hide the UCL showcase games when they had to show them, so I do not expect any favours.

Not to mention BT's abysmal coverage.

Ah, I though sky had 64 for some reason - it si going to be a lot of messing about. I doubt City will get 3 shown free.
