Guest av1 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 What is the point in any sport if fans can't attend? It resumes when it's safe for fans to attend or not at all for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One by one they are starting to fall to the inevitability of it all. I Fail so see how any country can start to play football when there are still so many deaths and the various countries health organisations still under incredible strain. Social distancing will be in place. How can that be achieved in football? And then if somehow it was allowed what about players sweating rubbing on one another let alone when they all spit everywhere. Then you have the natural instinct of a goal being scored and players clambering all over one another in celebration. Even if some of the lockdown restrictions are eased we are bound to remain in a situation of social distancing and football returns even if it's behind closed doors what message will that send to everyone? You will have groups up and down the country having a kickabout at the park etc. Plod comes along to break it up because they are not social distancing and all they have to say is ''well it's ok for the professionals to do it why not me''? Good luck with that then !!!! Not to mention any possibility of a 2nd wave of infections...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 They can still decide to relegate clubs in France. It's still an ongoing discussion or so i've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I don’t see how when teams aren’t on equal games played you can take a decision to relegate them ie us. I’m sure we have solicitors on standby if they do decide that and this could get very messy. I could accept begrudgingly if we were Level on games and in the relegation zone the decision to stick as is in terms of final league positions as 75% of the season has passed. It has to be null and void and tough luck on Liverpool, Leeds etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted April 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2020 the liverpool situation is the sticky point. PSG win it every year, so just to say "sorry not this year" really isn't that big a deal for them. but liverpool were a week or 2 away from their first in 30 years...i'm convinced there would be riots if they had it taken from them when it was in their grasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yeah the relegation issue is complex due to the points situation we still have an opportunity to escape, if the bottom three were cut-adrift a decision would be easier. Also the money involved is astronomical and to relegate with games to go is surely not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more worried about the bin dipping lovin media going on about poor hard done by Liverpool Playing the usual victim card for the next 30+ years If they aren’t given it ... If they have to then it has to forever tainted with an * in the record books. Just to piss them off. Edited April 28, 2020 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, Norwich, Watford and West Ham won their game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
