Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

I think this is the Irish one that they set out a few days ago. It mentions GAA in the text...

It makes sense so hopefully our lot come up with something similar.

Agreed. Common sense would say that given we aren’t expecting an update until Monday you could add 7/14 days on to the dates set out in the Irish proposal. For phase 1 at least.
 
Just got this not sure how true it is so please don’t shoot the messenger

Kilometres, ? we are still miles)
 
either way we're fucked for a very long time. I'd rather not go out in public that have to observe "social distancing" in the work place etc. when it's so vague, it's just silly. It's easy for one exercise a day as long as everyone behaves (they don't), but general day-to-day life it will just be farcical.
 
Sweaty Raab talking about football 'raising the spirits of the nation' by playing behind closed doors. Jesus wept. This circus will turn millions off our beautiful game, it's going to be a disaster.
 
Why was it mentioned out of interest? Was it in response to a question?

Yes, question about France, Holland etc banning sports till September, at the earliest, but we are planning to start again in June.
