Coronavirus and football.

[Trickytreesreds]

Nobody likes their football more than me . But I find hard that it's even being discussed and find it an insult to the people have lost their lives But you can get your lives they will play the TV and betting industries will see to that My hope is that some players refuse to play

Mine as well

Make that 3 votes. Its important to get things going again and prepare for life after lockdown, but football is really low on the priority list for me, especially to complete a season that will forever have an asterisk in the records.

In many ways I hope covid breaks football: with money and wages / transfer fees levels becoming proportionate.

But the return of some sport will be good for collective morale, and all those people who have been gagging to get back to sport gambling can piss away all the money they have been unable to spend in the pub, at sports events and on betting in the last 6 weeks.

Sad thing is that with TV dominant in a lockdown, Sky may well have even more money post lockdown to keep the rights payments even higher and keep the whole maggot ridden cycle rolling.

What worries me slightly here is that people seem to be saying "too dangerous for footballers in a stadium with, probably, less than 60 people present" all of whom are tested frequently, yet you seem perfectly OK with little Johnny working a 12 hour shift in the supermarket for a pittance, coming into contact with hundreds if not thousands of strangers each day, very few, if any, of whom will have been tested..... ever.

You disappoint me.

MA no not happy with Johnny working in the supermarket but we have to eat . We don't have to have football tired of hearing all the bolloxs about its good for our wellbeing Think you may be a bit short with your sixty in the stadiums .If it's anything like most matches I watch that wouldn't cover the two benches and officials 😊

[Geoff Parkstone]

OK, answer the question this way then. Test kits are still a scarce resource. Football is not a key sector.

Why waste those kits we do have to repeatedly test a few (very wealthy) non key workers, when we can test little Johnny who has a higher risk exposure and needs his job to eat.

Numbers Coronally adjusted

With the news that the German Bundesleague is about to restart this month, is it worth us adopting 1 German team to follow?

We could then slag off the manager, ask why a certain player is not getting picked, how crap the defence is at corners, etc.

[Geoff Parkstone]

I suggest we adopt 1 FC Koln. 5 points of the top 6, obscure team, not very good, mascot has horns and play home games in white shirts.

Won the league twice, last time in the mid 70's, since when no real success and been up and down between top flight and second tier

Captan and favourite player - Hector

Sounds like an obvious choice

Ram that's a great idea In missing a good moan about Cocu not picking anywhere near the team I would have picked . Why Kelle Roos at 6ft-5ins can't catch a corner Why leave subs till 85mins Why does Cocu say yah after every sentence Why is the tea in the concourse bloody awful Why do people sleep in the West Stand . I'm sure they don't have these problems at Bayern Munich
