Happinesstan Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Couldn't the police just break up any gatherings outside the stadiums? There's a huge number of police there usually anyway. Also put out a warning beforehand about on the spot fines and that'll cut it down a bit as well. If they issue truncheons that are 2m long, aye.

LFEE Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Approximately zero people have done this in Germany. All northern clubs too, no surprise. Man Utd v Sheff Utd? Us v Man City? It’s basically labelling groups of society that they deem less responsible or trusted than the average and accusing them indirectly of being happy to spread a deadly virus. Obviously relegation clubs are good lads with honest intentions. I’m no Liverpool fan, far from it, but given how their game with Atletico likely caused many more cases it’s particularly distasteful IMO. Yup, it's an incredibly degrading idea, especially after they agreed not to do after the bottom 6 raised a stink. The difference is which everyone seems to be forgetting is the bars/restaurants are open in Germany and are showing the football and to watch the football in the house is around 30% cheaper than it is in the U.K. The point regarding certain fixtures though I agree with.

Guest chopey Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 A cursory look at the Bundesliga results since it's return shows no home advantage without crowds. There may be some weird and unexpected results in the Premier League. TBF Schalke are shite with or without crowds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also good on Bowyer for taking a reasonable, calm headed approach to the issue - just what I expect from him. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/01/three-charlton-players-including-lyle-taylor-unwilling-to-continue-season-lee-bowyer-injury “It makes my job a hell of a lot harder to win games but it is something I cannot control,” Bowyer told the Guardian. “I can’t make him play. But at the same time, I understand his situation – and it’s difficult because he’s got a chance of earning life-changing money. It’s not like he’s a young lad and he’s got many years in front of him.

Pilko Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 You'd imagine the nature of contracts might change moving forwards in case this kind of thing happens again. Some kind of clause where the contract expires on 30th June or x weeks after the last match of the season, whichever comes first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't another way we can play a friendly under that 90 minute drive restriction. I assume Middlesborough would work though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
