Restart

[Francewhite]

Here in France the PM has announced that football can't restart before September at best. That's Ligues 1&2! What that will mean no one knows yet, abandonment of the season or restart then if allowed. What will happen in the UK? It's worrying

The same should happen here,. Well done to the French government. Lives before football.

Agreed Alf but what about behind closed doors?

No, not even behind closed doors.. Our government have said there will be no relaxation of the lockdown until five conditions have been met.. When they have been met then they will look again at.All sport should be postponed until these conditions have been met and there is a vaccine ready.. Sorry but if football goes ahead there will be crowds gathering in houses to watch it.. .

There wouldn't be if the UK govt. stopped @rsing about and brought in proper legislation as they have in France. Gendarmes and Army patrolling and big fines for infringement. Not silly "recommendations" here as in the UK. And of course they could ban companies from televising the matches, now there's a thought!

agree with all that Frenchy.. Unfortunately money talks and they will do anything to get football back on TV .. A few fans on on here are wanting the lockdown lifted ASAP That would be insane ..

Be an advantage to the likes of Bumley who wouldn’t notice any difference.

Absolute tosh, and typical of the headless chicken syndrome that is perpetrating the biggest disaster on the country, and its NOT Covid-19, its the reaction to it.

In 2015 influenza was the direct cause of death of over 31k men and women in the UK alone, in 2016, 29k, in 2017 also 29k. If you then include cases where influenza was a contributory factor, (as is the case with many of the Covid-deaths) you can (conservatively) add a "1" at the front of ALL those figures. So, for those three years (at least, just the easiest official figures to get access to), influenza either killed, or helped to kill, over 130k men and women of all ages, IN THE UK ALONE. Did we see lockdown? Did you or anyone else who posts here actually KNOW?. I think not.

Said it before, Covid is very good at infecting, and pi55-poor at killing, on its own. The way it kills is by starving the body of oxygen by debilitating the lungs, but not collapsing them, as acute pneumonia can. If more of those who get infected were able to monitor their blood oxygen levels, they would see when this drops below safe levels, rather than that doing so when they are admitted because they cant breathe. Oximeters are cheap (£17 on eBay!), reliable, and provide early warning of low blood oxygen. Has anyone suggested they be made available? Nah, lets just suggest we all go round with kitchen towel wrapped in a old t-shirt, that makes more sense FFS.

Cancel the season, don't cancel the season, I genuinely do not give the smallest rats ar5e, but FFS lets get back to some semblance of common sense and reality, rather than behaving as if this rather ineffective "killer" is anything the VAST majority of the UK population should be overly concerned about (then maybe the NHS resources can be spent dealing with those who should, instead of building white elephant "nightingale" hospitals that cant be staffed and have to turn away more than they treat!)

You might think it's tosh,but ask people who have been affected by these morons who are going out in groups and spreading the disease .. Or ask these brave NHS workers who are risking their lives if they want the lockdown lifting. Anyway we are all entitled to an opinion even if it's a Phookin stupid one like yours WTF.. Lol

Te facts i quote are just those, facts (number of deaths and what Covid does to help kill). How we react is driven by a lot less factual information.
