I have been thinking about this and we need to be horrible cunts. Us against them mentality. Some clubs tried to fuck us over CAS and now Covid.

We all agree that the narrative will not change so I refuse to give a flying fuck.

This is my new approach:

Spend big on players- who cares I won’t defend or reason.
Pep bashing - who cares.
Racist and hate thrown at us and our owners- who cares.
Bias commentary- who cares.
Cheating Var- who cares.
Covid bashing - who cares.

No more reasoning- fuck them all.

To be honest I didn’t bother replying fully as it was not worth getting into a long protracted response. But as you have now asked... both Australia and (especially) New Zealand are in infinitely easier positions both geographically and financially to stem a pandemic. London is essentially a hub of Europe and therefore is a place of transition. Heathrow is one of (if not the busiest) airports in the world, not to mention all the other airports dotted around a relatively small island. Throw in train and ferry access.. and bang you have a real problem.

Just compare the population of the UK per landmass compared to Australia and especially New Zealand and it makes your point laughable, they sit in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but ocean and the UK sits in the middle of Europe.

I am not for one moment saying that the government here has done a good job of handling the situation as they clearly haven’t but comparing controlling boarders here to Australia and (rather amusingly) New Zealand is a joke. Those countries are a million times easier to lock down especially during those first few weeks when the damage was done. There was no room for manoeuvre in Europe. Hence the situation.

There is a reason why Europe and the States have been so badly hit.

Fore Christ sake even Germany has struggled and they are notoriously efficient and disciplined as a society.

Weather is also a massive key factor to the current problems in the UK and many other European countries as we are entering the depths of winter and are all spending our time inside. This virus thrives in a colder climate, which would point to why a lot of the tropical and sub tropical countries have faired better throughout this pandemic despite having inferior health care systems.

Anyway.. boarders and handling of boarders aside, football should not be played here (and probably the rest Europe) until the Spring imo.

My point was only it was controlled in parts of the world.

I have no expertise apart from first hand experience of living here. We were one of the first badly hit with cruise ships that were disease ridden from all over Asia landing at our ports for sightseeing but it’s much easier agreed, we have oceans, deserts, rabbit proof fences ;)

Sydney airport is also a huge transport hub & very populous metropolitan area.

As posted above, they wouldn't get back to CFA till 3am, with onward travel thereafter, that's with no diversions due to roadworks (I've done that journey the other way regularly, and the latest I got home was about 5:30am, after multiple diversions).

Can't see the club doing that, but it's little wonder it spread if someone on an air conditioned coach was infected.

Take your point fully but they could kip at the CFG rather than travel home.
