Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[Franny's toilet roll]

Great to see the pathetic no hand shaking att the start of the Liverpool game, then proceed to sweat, grapple, spit all over the pitch for the next 120 mins , finally shaking hands at the end. Pathetic. Almost as pathetic as shaking elbows. There's a fair few clubs that will be at risk without gate receipts and big TV money . No doubt the players will continue to get paid to sit at home and isolate or rest. Meanwhile the lowly working class will be docked wages and suffer higher tax hikes to cover for the inevitable financial meltdown of everyone staying at home. How long do we all stay away from each other? and if it reappears do we hide away again? It 'll be interesting to see what this enforced worldwide reduction in man made CO2 emissions brought about by no factory production , travel embargoes etc does to global warming ? It'll make fuck all difference

Petition starting in 3....2.....1.....

They will be an exception to the rule, every one of their fans has probably had a letter through asking if they mind catching Coronavirus or not, and giving them a choice if they want to carry on attending or not. No other fans get this option of course, lol.

The FA won’t allow the season to be closed, they want their beloved Diapers to end their 30 year drought.
Give it to them now and ban the open top bus parade wankathon etc etc.
This PANDEMIC is a global killer. We need to take action. Football is not everything.

League 1 and League 2 as well, a number are already struggling, they need match day revenue to exist.

The government could sort this if it so wished. They were spunking billions yesterday.

It's the only thing that can be done imo.
Can't see Euro2020 happening so the season will extend as long as needed to finish it.

No I'm quite happy for millions of Liverpool fans to gather and mingle in the city centre.

Euros definitely need cancelling, immediately.
Postponing the league, possibly the CL as well, and then finishing off over the summer may be an option. But where do you go from there? If the season doesn’t end until mid-/late July, there’s no way you can start up again in August. Even September would be tough.
I can’t really see a viable alternative to cancelling it all, tough as that is to accept. And then hoping we’re all clear to resume as normal next season.

 

[give it to gordon]

Does it start this weekend and include CL matches as well


Only sad note we cant say goodbye to Merlin but this is bigger than football

Well the season's over anyway the Puddle are champs so nothing else matters - especially now they are out if the CL.

If the dippers get the premiership do teams still get relegated and promoted from the other leagues as it stands now ? That's not fair you cant just have a winner in the premier league and not in other leagues !
