Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Listened to the virus update on my way home from work.
Lead Question from the Liverpool Echo. Was it right to allow the champs league game against Madrid go ahead. Using possible cross infection and Liverpool stats as his motive. Stopped short of asking for a replay. But the loss so close to distancing measures is still like an open sore.
 
Would the cancellation of the Liverpool match and Cheltenham for that matter made much of a difference? The fans would still fly over and stay in hotels as I doubt the would have got a refund. Same thing happened in Ireland when they cancelled the 6 nations game with Italy, the Italians still came over and stayed in the hotels used bars etc.
 
UEFA are set to announce the dates for restarting the Champions League. Starting Aug 7-8, which is great, not.
The UK will likely be one of the last to come out of lockdown, which means our players will have less time to gain full fitness compared to other teams in Europe.

How can UEFA announce these dates when nations are not out of lockdown and people in the UK are still dying as they are, some of whom are football fans, have they no shame. ( Clearly not.).

They plan to play games every 3 days, yet do not seem to consider that some leagues may still be completing this seasons games at the same time?
Surely that has to be a provisional date? Even Bastard UEFA can't stage games (unless played behind closed doors) until all govts lift the ban on mass gatherings. To do so, they will need a vaccine or herd immunity. Not up to UEFA.
 
Unless those who get vaccinated get some proof they have had it before requiring a ticket.
They've never been able to develop a vaccine for previous corona strains. Not even the common cold. Hopefully the extent of this emergency will concentrate scientific minds and they'll get there in a few months. But worldwide distribution will present a logistical nightmare. Might take two years.

I wasn’t sure quite what he was looking to achieve....replay ? compensation ? sanctions against Madrid for bringing the virus, etc..then the penny dropped...
They were simply victims ....
 
When do people think we will see a live game again.
I'm not talking behind closed doors.
If they play behind doors I will act as if it's not been played will not watch on tv or on pub.
I'm talking about actually going to the game ..what footballs all about.
I cant see it next season even
Nor can I. Bloody hell.

Would the scouse c*nt from the Echo asked this question if the Dippers had won the tie ? Not in a million years , they have also latched onto Major Tom singing YNWA , and a survivor of the virus being wheelchaired out of a Kent hospital in his Dipper shirt. Imagine you have just survived a near death experience , you would wear anything it wouldnt really matter , but the Dipper has got his missus to root out his Red Shite shirt for his television appearance , definitely 100% the weirdest bunch of fans ever to grace the earth , tramps.
 
If they play behind closed doors next season, they will,have to reduce tv prices and certainly not increase them, if sky and BT put prices up, clubs should not allow it, it should be part of the agreement to carry on.so everyone can afford it or indeed see it, there are lots myself included who don’t have Sky.
