Hence why scotland have only suspended lower leagues and why the same will happen in England so they 'appear' to be doing something.

Punishment for Celtic going to Dubai on board a private jet for a jolly and not following social distance guidelines. That'll teach the lower leagues.

Bing Cosby Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I can just see us being relegated after a season is cut short by a respiratory virus epidemic. It would be so Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Football on TV is important so will keep going. Think L1 and L2 may be suspended. PL will definitely keep going. Think FA cup will keep going for same reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the football authorities who will decide. The BBC reported that the Government is under pressure to shut elite sport down Images of players celebrating inside tightly packed dressing rooms in the FA Cup dominated the sporting agenda and social media this weekend - while crowds of fans gathering outside Cup ties drew criticism and caught the attention of government ministers. On the back of players from all levels of the game apologising for various coronavirus rule breaches, the case for football to continue while the rest of society is locked down is coming under increasing scrutiny. Elite sport has been able to continue under strict protocols established in the summer BBC sports editor Dan Roan says while elite sport is not yet in the "last-chance saloon", there are "no guarantees", with "patience wearing thin".

Lime Tree Heros Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It's a tricky one, senior football benefits from elite sports status - which have mental health benefits for their followers, whilst a totally different sport snooker (The Masters) is on at the mo show exactly how it's possible. Unfortunately footballers are their own worst enemies, celebrating on the pitch and in the dressing room and a few on social media like normal when these are not normal times, all seemingly without punishment. I do wonder if the BBC contributed to all this by broadcasting scenes of the dressing room celebrations and the crowd greeting the coach last night - it didn't need to. Unless footballers start restraining their celebrations on pitch and start complying with all guidance, I can only see the clamour to stop the season growing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Even though we’ve been told ‘elite sport’ can continue, first of all I’d hardly class our standard as elite this season, or any season for the past 3 years But the amount of u turns these clowns have made you never know what will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elderly Owl Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think it is unreasonable that games are played against teams weakened by COVID19. Last Saturday’s game featuring Wayne Rooney’s Derby was a travesty ( if you’re a neutral) and should never have been played. It hardly matters that there are no fans present. It’s just not right! There is nothing wrong with cancelling the season - say from January 1st 2021 before games were seriously affected by COVID- and continuing from August as a short season with fans present. In that way, those who have done well will have their points acknowledged, and those suffering will have a chance to turn things around with a full squad. This pursuit of the league programme at all costs is ridiculous- two to three games in eight days with half the squad missing will result in serious injuries and long term damage to players. Other opinions are available as always! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Makes every game very important for the time being. PPG calculations would mean razor thin margins if it were to come to it, so if we can extend this mini-run out by another 2-3 games (against a couple of teams that are in and around us) it might be a bit of an insurance policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If they suspend the season and it allows pigs to stay up despite being the worst team in history I will be fooooking fuming. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
