    To help you out...

    The "person" are the other posters
    The "donkey" is you

    Hahaha!!! Have you seen the table on who has benefited most from VAR? I bet you were secretly not surprised at all. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    VAR - a cyber version of Howard Webb. :biggrin:

    As the situation improves games will be able to be played behind closed doors. At some point games will be played with crowds again. Perhaps capacity gradually inreases, or only home fans. But I have zero expectation that the medical advice on crowds will have any correlation at all with the start of a new season. So maybe part of this season is behind closed doors, maybe all of it, maybe part of next season too.

    IMO anyone expecting a clean break where on August 8 (or another day) we start a brand new season with the same schedule as previous seasons and stadia at 100% and everything is just "normal" are living in a dream world. The old way of life is finished.

    Yeah, not fair on Barnet. The maximum they can get from those 4 games they missed out on is 4 points instead of 12.

    So they've not taken a null and void stance, but a where you are now one.

    Er, pop?

    Just worked out final league standings using the duckworth-lewis system used in cricket.
    Crystal Palace won the league with 4 wickets remaining.

    I (mostly) mean in terms of football. On the positive side I hope it will be a catalyst for good changes as well as difficulties.

    It is a complex issue that's for sure.

    How do you play the remaining home and away games in the Champions League and Europa League involving travel to and from different countries?

    I don’t think the way he views football matches will change at all.

    Mine is just using common sense by looking at what is in front of us and what seems like the logical way forward.

    During WW2 Crystal Palace fielded 186 different guest players rather than give up. An inspiration to us all.
