Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[denislawsbackheel]

If they did suspend football in this country could they not recommence the fixtures in 6 weeks time potentially when the peak of the out break has passed? Then have a smaller preseason and follow it on with the new seasons fixtures? A lot of vested interests with prize money, promotion and relegation will be pushed from the clubs to just abandon the season and just start a fresh.

what makes you think it will be over in weeks?
Even if it has peaked that’s still a lot of people to catch it and burden the health service.

Does anyone think this is a conspiracy between Arsenal and Real Madrid to fuck us over? All seems a bit convenient to me.

BREAKING: Ireland going into lockdown until March 29. Taoiseach Varadkar orders schools & colleges to close, outdoor gatherings over 500 & indoor over 100 to be cancelled, urges people to work from home.

Obviously I have misunderstood that interpretation of lockdown. I always thought lockdown would mean having to stay indoors, closing borders etc.

How many commentators have you heard say...."the long wait for Liverpool is almost over"........or "Champions elect Liverpool"
this is gonna be funny.

Not really. Liverpool are champions. The competition that was in play was the Champions League, and now Liverpool are out, we're the favourites on the verge of putting out Real Madrid.

The side with most to lose is City.

Exactly, the thing is this is a new virus, nobody knows how it may develop.

We know that in the Italian towns where Europe's outbreak took hold, the virus has followed a similar trajectory that it followed in China and South Korea. It's entirely reasonable to expect similar patterns across every human population providing those populations behave similarly.

Any news on the titanic?

Not sure about that, but I did hear that Queen Anne is dead.

"The recommendation has been made to quarantine both the basketball first team and the football first team, given that the two squads share facilities in Ciudad Real Madrid," a Real statement said.

We could play their youth team then.

OK everything is postponed , cancelled, banned. When we all come out of hiding, it'll still be around and will spread again because not enough of us caught it and developed antibodies first time round. These things hang around for years/ permanently , better off taking the simple precautions and letting it run its course. Hard facts of life
