Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Back on the subject of Covid-19 and sport I've just read Rafael Nadal's comments and worries that Tennis won't be back this year! So why the h*** is football any different? Scottish FA and sports are saying September for sports to return, England is in much worse a situation...I just don't understand why they are potentially gambling with the lives of footballers and their immediate families?

mikeyp102 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 We should end the season with a shoot out like they did in American years ago. One v one from half way mins, only one player from each team takes one. Jack would win every time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack would win every time If they really want entertainment they should adopt this and maybe make each teams worst player compete.

Yep And there'll be a cap on the general public rates too (but I'm not sure which one they're using) where if it goes over a certain number everything will be locked down again OT I've got short time starting this week, I have to take Friday off, was on the phone to a polish company and they want to do like a 10 minute catch up Friday morning, I said yeah no problem whatever I'm stuck at home anyway... My German colleagues shot it down straight away! It's all agreed between my employer, my work council and the government, a month's worth of discussions and paperwork, I can **** the entire company over by sending an email let alone having a meeting!

Said he’s against neutral grounds idea. 2/3 of our points at home and we want home games at home. He said no relegation hasn’t been discussed. Said EFL is broken financially anyway, Covid has exposed what was already known (financially unsustainable). I don’t see the PL starting anytime soon. They are a long way from agreeing way forward and medical protocols. Then they’d have to get them ratified by the league, the government and medical professionals/scientists.

They take it very seriously OT again but we had the same issue when introducing a new incident reporting tool. All our service desks globally started using it except Germany as the workers' council/ unions etc, objected to their members' personal data being loaded in to the system (personal as in just names and work email and tel no.s). Took a year for it to be allowed, so they used the old system in the meantime. Proper ball ache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a company of 250 people, there are 7 of them who just do data protection and all the other staff have had training on it I'm an estimator, I have to phone up subcontractors and say "do you want to do a project for us" "yeah sure mate what can you tell me about it?" "absolutely nothing until you sign 4 pieces of paper..." it's a bit mad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
