Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Will be called off by next week.

I hope that they cancel it and ask all clubs if they can declare Liverpool champions as they are so far in front... And city say no, we fight to the end.

Least a possible Wembley semi final won’t require attendance.

Thus has to be done. There is more to life than football

Seems like a token gesture to a potentially very serious issue, it should be a total lock down if they're serious about trying to fully isolate imo.

Hard to see anything but a cancellation of everything - league, champions league, euros. Has to be the right move for me.
Tough on those immediately effected - champions, those going for promotion etc. But all of that is, ultimately, entirely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Call the season off for safety of all involved, dippers can try again next year :)

I would take a season call off with them not winning PL and us lose our chance on CL AMOTD:DD

They will have probably won the league by then though, only 2 games left to win i think?
It is crazy. i don't want to see any competition cancelled, but i struggle to see any other way.

Wow - would be a huge move if true.

I work in a schools and there are no talks of what would happen if there was an outbreak but schools are in touch with the health boards/advice.

Schools will try and be the heroes in this and stay open regardless, even though we have a battle plan drawn up for two weeks.

In 1939 the league was abandoned after 3 games due to the outbreak of war. Blackpool were not awarded the title despite having a massive 1 point lead at the time.
Sorry Bin Dippers but a precedent has been set.

Null n void, but I cant see that happening. If I was on of the 3 clubs fighting to stay up and having it play without fans it wont help them. The only fair thing is to scrap the season for all clubs.

This is bigger than the feelings of just one club from liverpool, lots fo clubs could be relegated or even go bust. Football needs fans. Null n void is the only fair way
