Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[blue aura]

Are they isolating the whole team,if not that is not good

Not sure Karen, the tweet doesn't say much.

I don't class footballers as essential workers but we're not talking about football taking the first step. You open according to importance. I get that. But you also open according to risk. There's little risk to society through 20 professional football clubs starting to play football.

Marvin,you cannot be serious,with all we know about how infectious this is and spread by people with no symptoms,have you got money on football starting again or something

Let the injuries commence,they do massage,physio,the ice baths etc for a reason




Some Premier League games are set to be shown on YouTube for free when the season restarts following the coronavirus lockdown. All 92 matches still due to be played are to be broadcast on Sky Sports, BT Sport, YouTube or Amazon. [

The BBC would potentially be permitted to show highlights more often but it is unlikely any games would be live on terrestrial TV. The government raised the idea of matches being available on free-to-air platforms and is happy that the majority will be on pay-TV. [

Germany have only been back in training a couple of days and ten cases of the virus have appeared , i would be amazed of Merkel gives the go ahead to re-start on Wednesday , as much as i dislike the German Rags i wouldnt wish this on their families , if the Bundesliga are allowed to go ahead , the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Should this read ..."the government... is NOT happy that the majority will be on pay-TV" ?

What are you saying? Everybody in Europe should still be under lockdown because less than 1% of those tested are infected? Footballers are no different to any part of the population returning to work. What we all need is a way of quarantining those who are infected.

If there are significant risks to footballers through training together which can not be mitigated then they should not play but that goes for just about every group.

It's only the Mirror so make of it what you will but they have an article saying the 'Big Six' clubs are in conflict with the six teams at the bottom about neutral grounds. They say the top clubs are trying to split the bottom clubs by insisting that relegation would be based on current positions even if the season doesn't restart.

I would hope our club wouldn't be party to this but, hand on heart, I have a feeling we want the season to be completed by any means possible.

What a load of shite, all these sideline rules... then they get on the pitch, instinctively spit, mark one another, tackle each other... last min winner... dont even think about hugging.

JUST CALL IT FUCKING OFF
