Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

No they are not different to anyone else. That's the point. There are discussions going on about everyone returning. The latest is that primary-age school children may return on June 1st.

I am not looking forward to watching football on TV in front of empty stadiums but I don't see why some football fans are offended by the thought. Disinterested maybe.

It will be the parents to send there children to school and the choice of the teachers to and there will be able to do social distancing. Will Footballers get a choice or put under pressure to play? If game do start and everybody involved are happy to gamble fair enough but got the feeling a lot will not.

Another point is say we get to the champions league final if it restarts, how shite would it be to win it? Barely counts a win with no fans, no proper 2nd leg with Madrid, no semi final etc.

I am originally from Macclesfield so as well as watching City I watch Macc if I can when I come down. Therefore I am used to watching football in empty stadiums. It’s better than watching Netflix

If we did win the Cl behind closed doors it would be the utimate "typical City" moment. I would celebrate.

I was watching Ronnie Matundo on Football Focus a couple of days ago. Training with Schalke. None contact at the moment. Obviously it can't stay that way. The situation is changing fast though. Two weeks ago Spain and Italy were in the middle of a crisis, now many are preparing for school, work etc.

My guess is that they will be back in a lockdown before end of summer again, the cases will suddenly start coming in thick and fast and then back to square 1.

Not sure why people are trying to rush this through, so we are back where we started in 2 months?

Yeah until there is a vaccine though everyone is at risk who don’t stick to the rule wonder if football comes back all those involved in it will have to sign a new contract saying if I get infected by this virus and my career ends or I die I or any of my family will not take the club the FA of the premier league to the cleaners.

One could hazard a guess that it may have something to do with how individuals see what is happening in the world and the affect on all involved, from the Carer to the infected.

Out of curiosity, may I ask if you have some form of self-interest in football restarting? Are you a journalist/blogger, or do you own a football related website?
 
The Premier League’s plans to resume matches in neutral grounds are on a knife-edge due to opposition from as many as eight clubs. At least 14 of the 20 clubs need to be in favour of the plan for it to be approved. A vote could be held on the issue next Monday. [
@TimesSport

Premier League clubs are preparing for the possibility of playing the whole of next season behind closed doors. [
@SkySportsNews

Clubs are expecting football to get back to normal only when there is a coronavirus vaccine. Most experts believe a vaccine will not become available until the middle of next year. [
@SkySportsNews

The “eight to ten” Premier League stadiums being chosen as neutral “approved venues” was the choice of the police and Government and not the Premier League. Should it work safely, then it could return to 20 grounds for next season. [
@MirrorFootball

Stage one of the Premier League’s return to training would feature strict social distancing, including four players and a goalkeeper on one pitch. The protocols have yet to be agreed with the Government so the discussions have been limited. [
@MirrorFootball

Premier League players hold the key to whether the football season restarts - and they could end up vetoing the idea. Clubs will talk to their players in the next 48 hours to gauge opinions about the current 'Project Restart' proposals. [

Here is tonite nonsense
