    Behind Closed Doors In June

    Can't see this working unless all football matches resume. For example if football league players x 30 plus squad and staff can play behind closed doors then the same numbers of people can play sports on a park. There is no difference as you can't have one rule for one set and not the other!

    The talk of testing players prior to playing behind closed doors - if this is true it would be outrageous. Why should these prima dona's be tested and key workers/the most vulnerable still may not have been tested. Footballers should have no more of a priority than others more at risk ie supermarket staff etc.

    Already many have turned against footballers in the times of everyone mucking in. Giving a clap to NHS staff every Thursday - wow big deal! These people should have a pay rise like most supermarkets have given their staff. Orzil has just rejected a 12% pay decrease on 350 grand a week - what a prized greedy ****!

    Perhaps if the furlough scheme had been thought out a little bit more - absolute w ankers like the Beckhams and Branson would have not been allowed to furlough with their millions!
    I see the Australian Government told Virgin Australia to go f uck themselves for a bail out so the same should be done to Virgin Atlantic. Branson should pump in his own money or sell his assets - like normal businessmen whose pubs/shops/small restaurants/hair stylists etc all will encounter financial problems.

    Football is a spectator support, without the spectators what is the point?

    Good points Al. Branson is worth over £3 Billion, has his bank accounts registered in the British Virgin Islands and has paid barely any U.K. tax. Now he wants the U.K. tax payer to bail him out. Regarding Orzil, he’ll only be left with £310,000 per week if he agreed to a pay cut I read today poor bug*er so that doesn’t leave him much left does it?

    The thing is there’s nowhere to go to enjoy the money or places open to spend it on.

    Strange how useless money in huge amounts is worth in present circumstances.

    I could live in penury like Homeleigh Chris at present........I can’t remember the last time I paid for anything.
