Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[jitsubluedan]

BREAKING: The Premier League is in talks with the government over showing live football on terrestrial TV channels such as the BBC and ITV when the season resumes. [via
@SunSport

If true still banging on about finishing the season

Dr whity just said no vaccine in the next calender year and any current drugs that might help will be much later in the year,they just cannot put players and everyone else and by extension their families in danger to play a contact sport swimming in snot

How can the government agree to allow football matches to be played - even if they are without spectators, when it is a close contact sport?

We’ve seen in various media reports, instances where families have been asked by the police to move on when they’ve been having a kick about in a public place, even when they’ve made sure that they’re the requisite 2 metres apart.

Allowing professional sports to resume sends out entirely the wrong message and will make it harder to enforce social distancing measures with the public. There are those that flout them now - this would just give them another excuse.

Where people’s lives are at risk if they contract this virus, any decision to allow football to resume is reckless and will only be motivated by greed.

It's just getting more and more desperate.

Looks like the campaign for the Dipper v Atletico game to be null & void is gathering pace , now escalated to the national news and the Dippers are demanding an "official judiciary inquiry" , this could go on for 30 years or more , get the candles out.

Take away the candles comment and I honestly don't know if this is true or not. That's how ridiculous LFC are.

The Goverment will never allow sport until there is a Vaccine, this is just posturing from the desperate clubs and they are driven solely by greed.

There’s just been a scouser on the news saying he’s pretty sure he had carona but went to the atletico game and reckons he definitely passed it on to others and it’s a “disgrace” that the game went ahead. Why turn up then you complete tool!

It would'nt be the 2nd time LFC cult fan behaviour has caused fan deaths.

I truly hope so but there are sections of the media who appear to be pushing for a restart, sly sports have a vested interest and as we all know, money talks. It’s the main reason why Cheltenham went ahead.

UEFA to use coefficient ratings should PL not restart.

The clubs Qualifying for CL will be:

Liverpool
City (Spurs if we’re banned)
Arsenal
Rags.


Two clubs might have an incentive to vote to void the season...

On what possible grounds can they argue that the game needs to be re-played? I really dont understand where they are coming from with this utter bullshit
