Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[Fordyboy46]

I've been thinking about Spanish Dave's premature kid, who must surely be in a compromised category. Imagine going through everything he went through and then forced to put your kid at risk 12 months later in order to complete a league season where you literally have nothing to play for. Must be dozens of players with kids or partners or parents with asthma or whatever.

I'm sure Dave will be told he can't play any further part in the season. Won't be happening anyway, far too much pressure and anger to follow if the season restarted.

The league won’t get completed. But in the interest of football. A fair impartial updated pools panel will meet to decided the unfinished fixtures. It will consist of five people to go with a majority verdict. Panel will be Phil Thompson,Rio Ferdinand,Glen Hoddle,Paul Merson and Ashley Cole.

Has anyone told the parasites that all unnecessary travel isn’t currently allowed. My guess is when they review everything over Easter it will be extended by another three weeks which takes us to early May. Even then people won’t want to gather in large groups for another few weeks for fear of another spike. The season is over

Parasites. A great word to use and it sums up the football bigwigs and the media in one.

Clearly Liverpool is the only city in England that has not been affected by this deadly disease so why not play all the remaining matches at Klanfield. ?

The local council is practically insolvent and the echo is already throwing stories about the past injustices and hardship they have overcome.

Taking the test gives you a moment in time,say 2/3 days between testing,plenty of time to catch it,spread it with no symptoms in traing,travelling,test before the next game is positie and everyone has to go into isolation

Jack Grealish seems to be trying his best to save Villa from completing the season.

I think the league will be completed behind closed doors - Champions league and FA cup no chance.

...and Gundogan :)

You're forgetting that they "...are Liverpool this means more."

Exactly, all it takes is one person to get infected and the whole plan collapses. Why waste tests on sport which is non-essential when nurses need them more? We all know what would happen if there wasn't so much money involved - we'd wait until the danger had completely passed and only resume when it was 100% safe. Sadly there is money involved and a lot of it.

Hence, lower leagues already cancelled.

City stand to lose the least if they don’t play and maybe the teams in the relegation scrap. So there’s potentially 4 clubs refusing to play. The rest of the top 8 fuck them if they want to get together to hurry up the court of arbitration of sports decision. Sit tight and let them all pay the financial hit of the season being voided they haven’t got an owner like ours who could help the club survive. There actions of jealousy, greed and sporting integrity towards one member premier league club will come back to haunt them.

HRH will take a big hit re, oil revenue alone. No-one will escape the effects of this pandemic bro'.

Outrageous to be even suggesting it. Then again we already knew how out of touch they were.
