toontownman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Can't see it going ahead. The PL and Government absolutely want it but Mayors, Fifa's head doctor, players speaking up saying they are scared. It is a bit mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It just seems mad to me. People's lives are at risk, but getting football back up and running is somehow that sweet, sweet TV money is more important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are paid to do a job and whilst I would say it's not essential it will be very good for the mental wellbeing of most men in the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just seems a farcical idea, just so they don’t have to refund TV money or something? I’m interested to see the plans, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be in any way worth doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 It looks like the bottom 6 in the EPL will veto the restarting of the league, I think the the season is over and hopefully Liverpool will get the title but it will always be tainted. I quite like the idea of ending the season now and then restating in August with the same points everyone has now . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I dont see how they can, three German players have already tested positive and are showing no symptoms at all, every player will need to be tested and be free from the virus, they wont be.

Dokko Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52517532 A growing number of Premier League clubs are open to playing the remaining fixtures at neutral venues but with the threat of relegation removed. Top-flight clubs have been told that using up to 10 neutral stadiums will be the only way to complete the season. Brighton say they are "not in favour" of using neutral venues because it may affect the "integrity" of the league. Clubs near the bottom of the table feel it is unfair to play in such different conditions when at risk of relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpinho Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 This stadium thing is mad. Other than stoke messing with throw ins years ago a pitch is a pitch. "home advantage" is surely gleaned mainly from your supporters, which won't be there. Stinks of rubbish teams like west ham trying to leverage cancellation or no relegation clauses to avoid the inevitable for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 If relegation is going to go then it’s surely pointless playing the rest of the season Yeah agreed and if relegation is to stay how can it ever be equitable if, for example, Troy Deeney comes down with Corona and is unavailable for two weeks and even then not fully fit and yet Villa all stay fully fit?

Totally agree.....also playing at a neutral venue does not make an even battlefield.....Toon v Liverpool at St Jame’s...got to at least fancy a chance of getting something from the game, at a neutral venue we’d get dicked...Villa have Man City,Liverpool,Chelsea and Man Utd at home....playing all of those away from home advantage does not equate to fairness, especially as some teams will already have played these teams at home.

These aren't equitable circumstances, personally don't think we should have relegation threatened teams holding football hostage. Coronavirus was an unforeseen event, there's no way to deal with it equitably. The best you can do is either cancel it, or try to complete the season in whatever way you can. Relegated teams can whinge it is unfair, but if they cancelled the season, how is it fair on teams like Liverpool if they get their title season wiped out? Believe me, I'm very far from a Liverpool fan, but fair is fair. They should just take a vote from all the clubs and go with the majority decision.
