Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[Allnightlong]

Are the UK enforcing the two week isolation on new arrivals?

i thought that was a new directive

Football starts = end of social distancing/lockdown

Agreed otherwise nobody will adhere to it anyway.

I see that the usual shite from BBC is being pushed about PL returning. Banging on about Italy and German clubs restarting training and Gunners?
How the fcuk are they going to impose social distancing in a contact sport? People will just say fcuk it, if they don’t have to isolate themselves, why should I?
Virus returns, kills thousands more, public complain and moan, except the dippers.
The BBC are a bunch of cünts, they’re peddling this and it’s huge disrespect to those who’ve lost family members and friends. While hundreds continue to die from the virus, let’s think about getting PL up and running. You absolute wankers.

Are the arsenal still obeying the 2 meter rule in training and is it something that cant be done at home ?

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.

This is exactly the kind of sporting world we live in. Horse racing back in Germany on 4 May, France to follow. They will no doubt tell us that STRICT guidelines are in place but it only needs one fuckin' idiot to not understand the STRICT guidelines or ignore them and we are back where we started pretty soon. The sports governing bodies will be safely encased behind their screens and viewing from a distance so they will be alright but the rest who are a lot nearer the action won't be too safe. But, hey ho, we have to get the sport juggernaut rolling as soon as the fatality numbers dip by a dozen. Football, horse racing and others will resume before it is clearly safe to do so! However, the money has to keep rolling in!
