Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

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.

Politics in play again. Fifa know it would bankrupt Uefa.

Beat me to it.

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

But would you put money on it not restarting? Sadly I wouldn’t...

That would be a shame.

Season and all comps have to be null and void. We have as much as the Dippers to lose, still in Fa cup still in with a very good shout in the Champions league and already secured the Carabao cup. It just isn’t right starting the season up again until they can guarantee players safety and also guarantee no extra burden on the nhs. Also we have a manager who has lost his bloody mother, very little being said in the press about this and how it’s going to effect Pep if he does return to finish off the season. It’s all about fucking tv money and the Dippers and nobody else.

The Carabao Cup will stand as it was completed before all this started.

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

get on that panel fella, how anything else can make sense more than that I don’t know

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.

He was shocking last night Tolm, I was surprised both in his fitness but then listening to him say he paid his brother a load of cash to stay quite?? Was that common knowledge??
