Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Ric said:
I really don’t think football being played in empty stadiums is going to actually lift the national mood when the death toll is in the tens of thousands. As much as I love football, it couldn’t be any less important in the scheme of things at the moment.

That’s fine by me. I’m not sure it will lighten the mood but at least I can get the gang around for BBQs every Sunday and party while those lovely carer’s are agonising on whether to put another victim into a coma. I’m just hoping that the motorway services are open as some of my attendees will be making a bit of a journey and, whilst they’re at it, they’ll have to stop off for some extra tinny’s at the local off’y, as surely they’ll be open. Obviously the bin men will be back to normal collections as well as they’ll need to empty my recycling where everybody’s DNA will be lingering around the handle and wasted material.

For those who are worried about empty seats and leaving early, To confirm, I won’t be watching our game on TV, I’ll be down outside the ground supporting my team from outside. The BBQ will be coming afterwards as a way of celebrating with the team/family/friends/colleagues. I will have to sign up to BT and Sky though, they’ve got the rights so if I actually want to see some football then I’ll have to shell out, on top of my SC. But, eh-oh, at least I can catch the Government daily update of the death toll before I flick to the newly scheduled 430 kick-off, just to lighten the mood. You know, It’s almost as if this situation was made for/by them, all perfectly planned.

As I say, that’s fine by me. All perfectly normal with life back to what it was.
 
Does lock down mean every day is April Fool's Day?
Thinking up these ridiculous stories every day must be terribly taxing on the poor media person's peanut brain.
 
Love it.
Everyone has to stay at home!!! Except 300 people (per match) who can all gather in the same space and play a full contact sport for about 3 hours.

And I can’t even go to the gym, what a fucking joke! People are getting tired of the lock down anyway, many are starting to flaunt the rules. All this will do is inflame that and show them they can.
Either lift the lockdown or don’t play football
 
I'm actually getting to the the point where they have talked the talk let's see you walk the walk
Let's see how keeping players in isolation camps, playing 5 games a day on the same pitch, playing with a sterile pitch, ball wiped every few minutes, face masks, games with 6 periods, no contact at corners, fans not massing at grounds, kicking the ball as far in the stands as no ball boys, washing your own kit, getting changed in your car etc etc.
Please crack on with it
But don't try and put any results into a league table from a different game!!
 
Hope City stick to there guns when they said they won’t be playing any football until it’s 100% safe!

These tests aren’t 100% safe so no football should be played.

Seems though that Germany Italy and England are pushing for a start in june.

Also what happens to the clubs who refuse to play Or players who refuse to play? They going to dock the teams points or fine players?! If saw can see a big law suit.
 
Henry winter just confirmed that the government has okayed Arsenal going back in training! So there we have it football be back and playing behind closed doors when one hand the government rule is only essential work your allowed out for.
