    I think the logical solution is that instead of going back to training the players should all be given coronavirus and then those who survive can play without fear afterwards. For the avoidance of issues they could also be subjected to a plethora of others things like herpes and bad aids at the same time just to get them out of the way.

    So long as each squad has at least 11 surviving players then the games can restart on June 8th and provided they play the games back-to-back from midnight then it'll all be sorted before nightfall on the same day.

    I don't see any isues.

    As soon as one gets infected, the whole thing gets called off again.

    This idea of playing behind closed doors to finish the season is a non starter, players will interact too closely with one another.

    It needs to be ended now, and a new season starts, notionally, in September.

    So, is it void, or is it ppg to decide standings?

    I'm starting to come round to the idea of a solution to 'finishing' it, rather than completely voiding it myself.

    I can’t see how you can have extreme social distancing in place and yet play a contact sport like football, whether behind closed doors or not.

    I can see the PFA squashing it, if it gets close to becoming their actual strategy.

    As for what happens if it’s not played out, **** knows.

    I read that one of the premier league teams (it may have been Brighton) suggesting that it would still require 250 people per game, to stage “behind closed doors” games?

    Yeah I’ve seen the number of people required being anywhere between 2-300.

    I just can’t see it. Some players just won’t want it, I also wonder how those involved can possibly be insured against infection in these circumstances and that leads to what happens if someone does get infected and the worst then ensues, corporate manslaughter?

    Yeah, it can't happen. It is literally impossible.

    This season needs to be curtailed, pretty much now.

    Either that or we finish this season in September and don't start another until November or something. Everything gets realigned according to that.

    That's not how UEFA want it though.

    That would potentially screw up champions league so I can see why UEFA wouldn't want that

    Footballers spit, every few seconds, then the other ones go and slide in it. Then dribbling messes like Klopp go spitting all over the camera man after the game cos he can’t get used to his fake teeth.

    People in charge need to stop pandering to the ****ing scousers and make the safest decision.

    And let's not forget Jamie Carragher would probably find someone to spit on if the footy was on.

    He’s been stood at the top of his path spitting on key workers for the past 7 weeks.
