Popular Post sne Posted June 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2020 Some would argue that racism and police brutality is a more important issue than Liverpool winning a football title. Liverpool fans wouldn't but they are morons anyway. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are bringing back to complete the season isnt football, there can be no argument about that. I understand they want to complete the season and while I dont agree, that's fair enough for them because of the money situation. But let's be clear, this isnt football coming back, it's the 4am getting home completely drunk, havent done any shopping and trying to make myself a meal and only having spam, one egg, a crust of a loaf and ketchup and that having to do until I can get a proper meal in the morning when I can get out of the house. It's going to taste horrible, certainly not a meal but will fill what is required to fill and let's get past it......... Haute cuisine eh? You posh beersteward.

thabucks Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If the big clubs gets their with 5 substitutes which is grossly unfair in many ways With their bigger in quality squads we should be allowed to re-register Heaton (Was Steer retained in the squad ?) and Wesley. It’s not as if we would be using players who didn’t already start for us and a fair concession to the smaller clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Football clubs will discuss on Thursday what to do if the season cannot be finished, although its widely expected that relegation will not be scrapped. So that's it we need to beat Sheffield United and then stay out of the relegation zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that they can be registered but both are still injured and unlikely to be fit in time. Hopefully the 5 sub rule will allow some academy players a run out !

Be double standards to allow mass gatherings for a cause to happen and not allow it for a celebration. Well that's Zatman's point surely as we have clearly seen that people will throw social distancing out the window if they feel there is a big enough reason, which no doubt Liverpool fans will think winning the title is. I'm not sure they are 'allowing' the protest to happen, just it would look very bad if the government tried to disperse that crowd even though it's probably the right thing to do.

The_Steve Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) This is extremely reckless and dangerous. The fines are pittance. Quote Premier League clubs will only be fined a maximum of £25,000 if they breach the competition's new Covid-19 protocols. The Premier League have dispatched so-called 'snoop squads' to every club to monitor training as they have returned to full contact over the past fortnight, but Sportsmail has learned that their powers of enforcement are extremely limited. The compliance officers are believed to be doing an extremely thorough job — for example, measuring the distance between cars and ordering clubs to wash the gates of their training grounds — but they are slightly hamstrung by the lack of a meaningful deterrent.

Am I missing something? what's the point of measuring distance between players cars in the car park when the players are in full contact training with each other. I read the article but I assume they arent doing that now with full contact training but it seems they are...weird! pointless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The subtext is the paltry fines and the claim that the enforcement teams were not able to investigate clubs earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
