So totally outer space it beggars belief I could understand quarters so there’s 3 breaks to use hand-gel on the field. Sets a great example for fans and especially kids too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Safety, my hairy arse. Current research is suggesting that even recovery from the virus can leave organs damaged for an indeterminate period and that these effects are exacerbated by strenuous exercise. So what's the football authorities response to this? Quick, quick, get 'em back out there. There's about 762 million reasons why we're so anxious to improve the nation's morale.

Jim Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) If football resumes in June and of course that’s a big if, we would’ve had a 3 month break which is the equivalent of the close season. If they persist with trying to complete this season then however this pans out, it effects next season. Whatever decision they make about this season has to take into account next season. The subject of money keeps cropping up but it’s a perfectly valid one. Without income clubs particularly lower down the scale will struggle even more to make ends meet. Can you imagine the EFL coping with a flux of team’s struggling financially to fulfil their commitments. FFS they made a right pigs ear of it when it came to handling the issues of just Bolton and Bury not to mention later on Macclesfield? I fear this isn’t going to end well for anyone in the game and let’s be honest, if the desire is to keep everyone safe and protect lives, which it should be. While current guidelines remain in place, getting football back on shouldn’t be even being considered?

kilnhurstowl Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Didnt realise the extra 10 minuites could be the difference between catching coronavirus and not. Wow. What a stupid thing to say. Either play the full 45 as it's safe to do so or dont play at all. The love I had for this game is really coming to an end. It's all about money.

DJMortimer Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I've never had a lofty opinion of Gordon Taylor (understating it slightly). That hasn't changed today. Edited May 5, 2020 by DJMortimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not playing at all is far more preferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
