Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Well, it is ostensibly a football forum and there's ****all football to discuss.
I know we wander off a little now and again , but the C word is the only news atm and there's only so much we can say about it.

 

We've only actually missed one fixture so far but it feels we've been without for much longer. Aussie rules started on Tuesday for anyone needing a sporting fix of some sort. You'd have to be desperate, I know. Is it shown anywhere?

 

Will just leave this here, "postpone indefinitely" is another way of saying "never resume"

We will fit it in when we have time, oops it's August the first, 2021 season starts in a week. Never mind we may be able to resume this one next June

 

Seriously though, who cares about football? The NHS is on the cusp of collapse, critical staff are self isolating and patients will go without care. This is going to be a **** storm of epic proportions and you can still go clubbing....wtf is that all about?

 

The NHS has been on the cusp of collapse for 10 years. Nurses have previously been forced to use food banks, at least now shops are giving them discounts. Critical staff are self isolating because Boris won't let them have tests.

A big problem will be once the coronavirus has passed and the story has become less fashionable there will be a massive backlog of postponed operations but NHS staff will be exhasuted and traumatised. Then many more will die from the inevitable sacrifices and mistakes.

 

Now if only you'd got the words right. It's 'extend indefinitely' ie. the exact opposite of what you said.

 

Same thing on the other thread with @Tobes trying to argue "priority" means "we'll do the opposite"

 

it’s mad they aren’t the priority to be tested. Utter stupidity. Boris has f#cked it up. Education system is in turmoil. Nobody knows who’s kids the schools will be open for yet. Joke.

 

Firstly, that’s simply not true aka a lie.

Secondly, stop trying to **** stir.

And lastly, don’t tag me into this thread again.

 

Same thing mate, indefinitely could mean for ever

 

Now I am just curious here but what happens if astro at’s tobes on this thread again ?

 

You've lost, Diego. Get over it.

 

There'll never, ever be football again!

Or maybe there will, once the peak of the epidemic is over.

 

Of course there will, just no more 2019/20 season if time runs out to fit it in

 

Schools are guessing based on what's likely to happen (shame the government didn't start proper planning weeks ago) but the current prediction is anywhere between 20-30% of children to be in school but reshuffled with what staff remain into new 'hubs'.

There are some enormous problems with this that haven't been addressed by the gov yet. Children in poverty or those who have free school dinners won't be guaranteed meals (some catering staff have been told they're not working next week for example), children being potentially moved to a 'hub' school where there'll just be a mass gathering again and effectively a petri dish for this virus to spread around when we're told to keep social distancing, children who have horrendous social settings (abuse/neglect/carers/etc) being upended and moved around or no longer safe at school, children with special educational needs not being in familar settings with familiar faces, staff being unaware of what specific needs new children have as they move to different schools, staff potentially being asked to work even longer hours and themselves burning out or being unable to look after their own families, further staff becoming ill through prolonged contact...etc etc. This doesn't even talk about the poorer quality of online education or the impact this 'break' will have on exams and the worries that brings.

This is just one sector, which I know a lot about, but I'm aware there's so many other facets to this what I'm unaware of.

It's typical of a Tory government though. Such a poorly thought through plan. They should have been making plans ever since it began in December/January - just incase what happened in China came to us.

 

Feller, I've no intentions of getting into a war of semantics with a poster who thinks Faslane and Lossiemouth are the same place, let alone someone whose grasp of the English language is so tenuous as to not be able to form the words 'extend' and 'indefinitely' in the order they were spoken. As said, you lost; close the ****ing door on the way out.

 

Enjoy the parade fella

 

I will, even if it's reindeer pulling the open top bus.

 

It will be another reason for Diego to claim that the Premier League must be null-and-void. And he'll be on here every ****ing night until the end of June saying the same thing in his idiosyncratic, I-know-what-you-are,-but-what-am-I? puerile style of discussing that half a pack of 8 Ace (did he stock up before the supermarkets were cleared of beer?) deludes him into thinking he's some sort of smart Alec.

 

Tobes goes full judge judy and bans him.
