Coronavirus and football.

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

Great to see that we can agree on something Mista.

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

A brief look at their profile would suggest so, it has my vote.

Ever the ‘Outsider’...my allegiance, as you’d expect, will be to FC Union Berlin.

Oh, and it’s ‘off’ the top old boy! 1-1.

How about this idea to finish the season.

Complete the fixture list with penalty shoot outs. The 'home' team can choose whether to go first or second. You have 5 penalties each and no sudden death. The goals scored/conceded are added to your season's total. You get 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw.

You could probably get 3 rounds of fixtures done in a day at one neutral ground and complete the season in 3 or 4 days. The same could be done with the play offs, but using sudden death.

Advantages, social distancing shouldn't be a problem, players don't need so long to get fit (Huddleston excepted), can be achieved in a short space of time, at least there is some football skill involved, would make good TV.

Disadvantages are it's not proper football and penalties are a bit of a lottery.

Thanks Mista, obviously they'll go for the matches behind closed doors option, but I thought that this idea would be better than some other plans.

[macstheman]

All for it Ram, just get the f...ing season over and done with. This does that leaving plenty of time to normalise for next season.
