Great show Yes i sometimes listen on the way home from work (early hours often) & they were doing some quiz which they seemed to find hilarious but tbh was very dull for the listener. They do run an ok one on a Saturday night though, again early hours where they have callers pick a number & guess the age of whichever celebrity is revealed, the guys on there are very listenable i like them but some others have me reaching for the change channel button. As it happens at Wembley pre-game against Man CIty i was walking up Wembley way with my 12 year old daughter when a lady suddenly appeared in front of me and asked if we had a minute for a chat, i honestly thought she was from one of those electric/gas companies and was going to try & pitch me or sell me something so i brushed her aside and just said "no thanks". As we were walking away she then said "it's TalkSport radio do you want to answer a couple of questions?".. Which i would have done but all i could think of was "she's gonna ask what the score will be" & i really didn't want to go on national radio & say we'd likely lose so i just said "no thanks love".

Zatman Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 People are sick and dying, others about to lose jobs. Even in a football sense smaller community clubs will go out of business. Continuing to play will show what football authorities really thinks of the fans. Now La Liga are demanding every player is tested FFS, more important use of resources and thankfully some clubs have declined 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having football matches earlier than ideal would still put them more at risk. Whether the FA likes it or not having football matches even behind doors will be an extra risk towards spreading it. Not only because of the participants, but it involves transport, catering and a whole lot of other measures and meetings. It seems beyond ignorant and irresponsible to push it through because you absolutely want things to finish up. And this isn't about Villa for me. I think there's more important stuff like people dying or the world economy to think of. Ironically everyone are concerned about people dying, but every year in recession there's 5-10 k people dying of suicides alone. That's before taking into account those in poverty.

Only decision will be to delay further until May (even then it's very remote). Just about kicking can down the road for a few more weeks. Mid may will be when things have to be decided I think and U.K will probably be in peak then so will be very insensitive to give go ahead again to Football with high number of deaths. Perhaps we might get something in July and domestic season being wrapped up by mid August. Then you have overlap into next season and of course everything could well then have to stop again once winter hits. Football (and life) going to be massively disrupted for next 12 months really.

VillaChris Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sheffield United playing a closed door friendly with Rotherham today apparently. I know Wilder dosen't want them to lose momentum but that's a bit OTT. Can only guess they did it assuming football would start again in early April.

Keyblade Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 They're really trying to stretch this for as long as they can aren't they? Just cancel it, you'll get all your sodding TV revenue next season you greedy **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It’s really becoming a much larger theatre of the grotesque greed that embodies the modern game. Hundreds died in Italy yesterday. And they still want to continue. There is no easy solution to anything in this current climate. Cancelling the season to me remains the only viable alternative. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 no discussions on null and voiding it no discussions on trickling money down to the EFL sounds like plenty of the meetings I have at work....what did they actually do?? pushed the return date out to the 30th and then scrapped the deadline for ending the season, took them a week to cook that up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
