Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

It’ll be interesting to see what legal action is taken by 2nd place and anyone else who can still mathematically win the league. I’d rather the scousers were handed the league than the league resumed. That way it will always be tarnished. Champions*

Give it to them, Id hate to win it that way. It’s hardly an Aguero moment, or Kompany smashing in a 30 yarder v Leicester. Then there’s Yaya bulldozing through Crystal Palace after the Demba Ba Slip or Jesus scoring one the dying seconds at Southampton to clinch a 100 points.
 
they're saying an infected player will be treated like any other injury hahah taking the absolute piss!

Face masks and disinfected footballs among rules for Premier League return
Players also face two privately-sourced tests per week, according to reports

Premier League players will wear face masks and all footballs will be disinfected by staff in personal protective equipment under strict rules designed to allow squads to resume group training during the coronavirus crisis.

A seven-page document drawn up by
Premier League director of football Richard Garlick has laid out the protocols that would need to be followed at training grounds ahead of football’s planned restart.

The plans, which will be discussed at a meeting of clubs on Friday, will also require players and staff to pass a Covid-19 Antigen Test in the 48 hours before returning to group training.

The rules include:

  • All footballs, GPS units, cones, corner flags, goalposts and other equipment to be disinfected before and after use by staff wearing PPE
  • Players encouraged to wear a snood or mask at all times
  • Cars to be parked three spaces apart
  • No massages unless approved by club doctor
  • Fluids to be left at designated pick-up points
  • Only visit training block to use toilet
  • Initially only five players per training group
  • Players to be given designated time slots and 15 minutes to prepare
  • 75 minutes of small group training
  • 15 minutes recovery
  • Players and staff will be banned from spitting at the training ground
The document states: “This protocol will require the consent of all stakeholders and the agreement of Clubs....

This is from the Telegraph and covers training only.

Money, it's all that matters.
Nice and straightforward then.
 
Could they not finish the season by playing walking football. Much easier to keep social distance, no puffing or panting.

Would be quite safe and allow the * champions to be crowned.

I am not advocating CL, or FA cup to be finished like this.
 
A big hand wringing campaign in the media to get players to take wage cuts during the pandemic
Also, lot's of hand wringing and vilification of players for breaking curfew. No PFA support for players

Now there's a big hand wringing campaign to get the players to go out and play, risking themselves and their families. No PFA support for players

If the PFA don't protect the players during this, they aren't fit for purpose, any, and I mean any measures to come back and play should be blocked by the PFA, they should at least be creating an obstacle. They are a union that do not have the interests of their members at heart. They are an absolute disgrace. Now they are encouraging sending their players out to play in the middle of a pandemic

You couldn't make it up
