Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

But whether football plays or not is not going to impact the general population. The US death forecast has just been doubled overnight because of the wider opening up of states. Stuff like opening schools, shops, factories. Increasing contact on tubes, trains etc is what impacts the infection rate. And there is little alternative. You can't hold it off forever or institutions like the health service, banking systems and the architecture of the system will stop functioning.

The quality of our lives matter. Football, society, economy, culture. You can't just think that if you sit with your mask on inside your house for 12 months that life in the outside world will continue. We have to find a way of coping with it.

Hopefully the way out will be a vaccine but this could we with us for a very long time. And all the things you value in your life have to be conserved and protected.
not uplifting
 
Marvin, from your previous posts I see that you are trying to convince everyone that has an opinion that we should start up again using whatever hair brained scheme the press are touting. What is you agenda ....as whatevr they decide will not be to the integrity of the league that started so why not agree to null and void it immediately and sort out contracts, fitness, form, isolation of certain players and overall safety and look to start a new season when it makes sense ? I dont see what your agenda is to keep wanting it to start as soon as possible ?
No. I am keeping an open mind on it. If it's not safe to play football, it's not safe but I don't have a problem with football trying to find a solution because the financial penalties clubs will face are huge. No matchday income for a season. Slashed broadcasting incomes? That's a question mark. I'm not bothered about the Premier League re excitement, but I really would like to see the CL games. The Premier League is awkward because of the sheer amount of games left to play.

The lockdowns will be lifted in June across wide parts of society, and football is low risk in that it doesn't affect the wider infection rate.

Some people just can't see beyond the mantra stay at home,save lives and will cling to it even when it changes.

Tell that to the large amount of black players and other ethnicity players who are a large risk factor for the illness,just be upfront marvin
 
I am not going to sign up but from what I can see that is great,it would take a brave /stupid man to disregard that and say football games can restart
This is the main points
  • Approving guidelines that still carry risk of death
  • Liability, insurance and testing for players, staff and their families
  • Possible transmission via sweat and goalkeeper gloves
  • Suspicions that some clubs are already ignoring guidelines
  • Increased risk for black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups
  • Ability of emergency services to attend training ground incidents
 
I’d postponed it not arsed about football while this virus around if clubs go under so be it they'll be back people won’t.

The irony of a Dipper football manager stating "Some people think football is a matter of life and death ,i dont like that attitude i can assure them it is much more serious than that".
Its about time the Dippers showed an ounce of decency and conceded the title ,unprecedented events have snookered them , its not there year , maybe next year

LOL THIRTY YEARS

Its May 2020 and Manchester City are still Premier League Champions.
