Surely that gives a huge unfair advantage to Blues as for them it’d be business as usual ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we will have the home dressing room, won't have to travel and will feel at home, but without a full house, those games will lack atmosphere and our boys will be without their twelfth man. It would be a major advantage for visiting clubs, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 All this is why to me, even looking at it from an objective, non-Villa point of view, voiding the season would be the least worst outcome. You simply can't just pick up a season again like this several months later, possibly behind closed doors, and not have it tainted to the core. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2020 Germany are banning groups of more than 2 people of congregating. No way is this season carrying on. Soon all non essential work will be banned too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth is continuing behind closed doors after months delay protecting the integrity? The use of the word “integrity” is merely just that, a word. They don’t mean it. They’re just looking at ways to satisfy a small number of the elite. The Premier League lost integrity a long time ago. The only way to maintain integrity would be to finish this season in front of crowds, whenever that might be. They could have come out with a statement of that at any time, but they don’t. And the reason they don’t is because they’re working out what to do, with finance being the thing that this is being worked out around. Money comes 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. If integrity means finance then yeah, they must maintain the integrity of the competition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about bloody time they woke up about what they are homer simpson'in in there mouths, because thats two diseases now to of come out of that country. There have been bird flus, swine flu, mad cow disease etc. Unless you're a vegan, you're in no position to lecture people on what animals they should be eating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You deffo can. Bats, like the ones the Chinese are gobbling up and spreading viruses from, are some of the last things you should eat simply due to the amount of viruses they contain. A whole lot of diseases from covid-19, sars, mers, ebola, marburg and rabies are thought to stem from them. I heard a podcast talking about why the bats don't die themselves and they claimed it had something to do with the bats actually lacking an immune system to fight it. I tried googling it now and what came up was research from the 'Wuhan institute of virology', not even joking. So yes, ofc you can lecture people on what they should be eating. If I remember correctly the Chinese introduced bans on bat 'farming/eating' after the last SARS outbreak. Then they eased off it. Smart move.

It's not even just what they eat, it's HOW they eat them, in the cruelest ways. One of the fetishes is boiling dogs alive and eating other creatures alive. I know the principle you re trying to project but there has to be limits, especially for the human race. I'm far from Vegan but I wouldn't me mates with cannibals.

The fines in Bavaria are €1000 per person if you meet up with people you don't live with. If you host a party then you have to pay a fine of €1000 per number of people at the party. Also, on the ID thing, I think that's always been a law. It's just not enforced but it is required to always carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 23, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52006755 This is Bobby Barnes, the head of the players union, talking about playing behind closed doors: Quote "Football is about fans. But the reality for the vast majority of the players, particularly at the highest level, is their income is funded by television money and there are contracts that have to be adhered to. "In order for us [the PFA] to be able to protect those players in terms of securing their salaries, if that's the only offer we have on the table to complete the season, then that is what it will be." Football is about the fans but that isn't reality. Reality is that football is about money. Muppet. (And in classic BBC fashion, this is an article that would be roundly hated by fans - so they've turned off the comments section.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Just another vested interest. Pfa - role is to look after the players hence do whatever to get them the cash. Play the games. Premier League- role is to satisfy contract with sky. Play the games. BBC/ sky /talksport - have nothing to talk about and losing advertisers - pkay the games. They can pretend it's about integrity- it's about self protection. I feel the FSA are far too quiet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL would have to allow us to re-register them to begin with, they are currently not in the squad. If they allow all teams to do so do they also allow a bigger squad than 25? They should because tons of players will get sick again as soon as they start playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and even if you were able to enforce an exclusion zone around the stadium they’d just gather in a park or in town or something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
