Disagree.
Putting football on hold does not mean keeping everything shut down. Football in my mind is not a priority at the moment, yes everything needs to start to move forward, but football can wait. After all what is football without supporters. |
It is pretty essential for football clubs to start asap for many clubs to survive mun, football is just as much a priority as other business outlets the longer they are kept from trading the more chance the business ceases to exist, and you feel its not a priority, also no sport will have supporters for a while so would you rather these sports not gain there revenue and survive through other outlets because there will be no supporters in attendance. |  | | |

Funny how being threatened with relegation makes teams more susceptible to Covid.
Footballers are young, healthy and very fit. They're at miniscule risk of developing serious problems as a result of contracting it and will be monitored far more closely than most. Set a date to resume and get on with it. |
It’s weird, I know one response you got from dgt, sorry tw@t in exile was pathetic, but I agree wholeheartedly, it’s baffling 🤔 |  |

Every remaining game to be shown live on one channel or another.
Four live games on BBC. The first live top flight football on the Beeb since March 1988. | | | |

Be interested to see if the struggling teams try to postpone games ( players contracting covid) thus leaving a problematic backlog.
Or my being too cynical? |  | | |

The Premier League is to complete it’s fixtures where the champions and the champions league places will be decided. What is happening regarding the relegation places?
Surely the championship fixtures will also have to be completed for 3 clubs to be relegated from the premier league to be replaced by 3 clubs promoted from the championship??? |  | | |

The Championship will be completed 100 % [Post edited 28 May 2020 23:50]

I disagree with your disagreement.
Football is an industry, and it's an important one for this country with a worldwide following. It boosts people's morale and helps keep them sane. If other people can go back to work, then I don't see any reason why footballers shouldn't, although I hope that they will be given the choice not to do so if they so wish. |  |

No, it’s been a thing since testing started. | |

Under the new test and trace rules if one player tests positive everyone they’ve been in contact with needs to isolate for fourteen days. They’ve just voted to start contact training so that would be the whole squad and coaching staff out for fourteen days. |  |

Great point, and therein lies the problems ahead.
Clearly not been thought through. | | | |

Presumably the whole squad and coaching staff would be tested 48 hours later and those that are negative can carry on? |  |

That will suit the bottom three in any league. | |

Possibly but it could be easily abused, and we all know how unscrupulous football clubs can be. And because there’s a certain right to privacy regarding personal health it would be easy to get around. | |

Less than 1% of staff and players tested positive, more players will miss out through injury. Get on with it. |
Maybe so, but when a player goes home with an injury, his family don't become injured as well. |  | | |

So Norwich are saying if the Championship isn't finished they shouldn't be relegated. A number of Championship clubs are holding out against retarting, I reckon they might be the clubs in the play offs or on the fringes of relegation. A PPG finish probably relegates the current bottom 3 and sees the play off clubs stay there too. What would they do with play offs though?

I'd said way bck that maybe football could go on behind closed doors but I haven't missed it and now I'm not convinced ot should restart yet. I guess any of the mooted problems may not happen, we'll see. | |

Yes, unless they are Ulrika Johnson. | |

Current infection rate based on six rounds of tests is 0.2%. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |
