Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Father Paul said:
The answer is probably no. I don't understand why so many are opposed to finishing the league if it safe to do so. It may not be and so be it but it may be the best option moving forward. Football behind closed doors is a non starter for me but if something approaching a full 2020 2021 season can not be fitted in finishing this one might be the best way out.

Because the way things are looking, there won’t be any football next season either. Some of us have been saying for weeks that it will probably be August 2021 before there’s any football played, and it’s impractical to suspend this season for 18 months. There has to be a cut-off somewhere. Trouble is, all these various footballing authorities are coming up with ideas for 2 or 3 months time when there’s not a cat in hell’s chance of it being back on by then. It’s crass, insensitive, and totally out of touch with what’s going on out there.

Placing both the Champions League and Europa League on hold while domestic seasons are played out is one of the proposals being looked at by UEFA. [
@MailSport

Some Premier League clubs are understood not to be contemplating wage cuts or even deferrals as they have enough money to pay the players. Others are contemplating asking players to defer their wages while some are likely to try to agree cuts.

Premier League clubs, and in particular managers, will push to use up to five substitutes if they are forced to cram all their remaining games into a month, with fear of fatigue and injuries for the players. [
@MirrorFootball

VAR could be put on hold during the COVID-19 crisis. The VAR team is at least three people for each match all in a small room at Stockley Park, which could raise concerns over social distancing. [

Hahahahaha there you have it,they don't care the players are playing a contact sport with gob everywhere but protect the official

I hope the players see that and tell them to stick it up their arsez

There's no reason why they should be in a small room either
With technology they could be in big rooms, different ròoms, different buildings, different towns etc etc
But they wouldnt be able to make the secret gestures, eye contact, winks, frowns and other facial expressions they use to come to the required decision.

I agree. Hahaha!!!!

Point by point....

1. If it’s safe to finish domestic leagues need to finish the European Cups too. Odd that one takes precedence over the other, why is that? Hmmmm.
2. What a worthless statement - so some clubs have finances in order while others don’t. Well no shit.
3. 5 subs? Why not! Let’s just change all the rules and play 14 to a side. And use two balls. As players tire no subs allowed. Would be survival of the fittest!
4. No VAR now? Well of course. Agent VAR has completed his mission.

I seriously didn’t think I could hate this season any more weeks ago before the virus impacted the sport. Special thanks to the powers-that-be that have collectively said “oh yeah, hold my beer”.

Classless.

and they talk about integrity of the football in being able to complete the season, what a load of bollocks

this completely undermines the integrity, and as most have said classless and distasteful and that's being kind

The only serious moral question I have for myself right now is if the boot was on the other foot, and I was a Liverpool fan, would I be wanting the league to be called off as much as I do as a city fan. I can't answer that, but I truly hope I would.

You probably wouldn’t need to ask yourself that, it’ll have been null and void by now, and I honestly don’t think that’s me being paranoid.
 
A mate who unfortunately is a dipper, popped a message over Facegoon, asking should the season be finished and Liverpool be given the title.
You can imagine my response.
