Dermot Gallagher says incorrect decision

Is that Professor Dermot Gallagher the famous epidemialogist from Oxford University? Or the top doctor of Respiratory Medicine at the Ratcliffe Hospital nearby?

Or just some retired ref who is now revealing the reasons for his bias when he was still officiating?

Beat me to it.

Many will never forgive or forget if football restarts this season for no other reason than money.

Why don't FiFA use their fucking brains and tie this in with the rescheduling of leagues for the winter world cup in Qatar Dec 2022 and have all of next seasons leagues start Jan 2021 and finish a month before WC.


Play the euros in October/Nov this year rather than next summer

FIFA’s medical chief has urged the Premier League and other divisions across Europe not to restart the campaign, as it risks another spike in coronavirus cases.

Shouldnt his view be the rule. If the medical officer of FIFA says that the leagues shouldnt restart but start planning for when a new can start. Why go against them ?
The gap is to long now for a restart. That's plan for the restart with home and away and fans.

That will be him not receiving any packed brown envelopes

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yet another ex scouse player John Barnes wants the season to be played to a finish. This is just so Livarpool can be crowned champions. It is be coming more and more obvious that all ex Liverpool players care more about Livarpool be crowned champions then the people dying.

Gotta love John Fashanu doing the SAS tough enough series.

In promo interview yesterday in papers he ripped Barnes a new one for being a fat bastard and letting himself go.

Unless it is a dipper player here it won't happen,pep or sergio or kev would be ignored,that is why I think we are dependant on messi to get spain shut down then the pre m would look mercenary if we carried on

If Raheem said it, plenty would listen.

He put so many racist bastards in the media on notice they wouldn't dare ignore.

There would also be a beautiful irony in him costing racist scousers the title.

 

[its grim up north]

It almost seems as if some people within the game actually have a conscience

He might have a conscience, but saying things like that, will he have a job next week?
