Premier League to resume season at start of May?

It can't be just me who doesn't give a **** about football right now?

 

How on earth can football matches be allowed to go ahead when the rest of the population will still be told to socially distance. People may quite rightly in my opinion decide that if it’s ok for matches to be played then it’s ok for groups to play in the local parks for example. The message will sublimably be that it’s ok to congregate, contrary to everything being said by the govt and scientific advisors.

 

Easy no contact, keeping 2m apart so should be lots of goals but they won't half look daft running around in masks

 

Masks with the sponsors name across them

Edit: Actually l sure someone's already said that.

 

Disgusting comment...







It's cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Arrh, those heady days when The Simpsons was good.

 

I think that this season should be finished first before thinking about the next season. As no one knows what date the next season would start anyway, so that might not even take place within a time frame that would finish in time for the Euros, even then, no one knows about that either, everyone just assuming things will be back to normal by then.
If this season could be completed & it left next season with too little time to be fitted in, then cancel next season & have divisional tournaments, mini leagues & winners go to next round, to fill in the gaps between the traditional trophies, FA Cup, League Cup, Auto Windscreen Wipers Cup etc.

 

This country is different when it comes to Football due to the depth that it goes down to, whereas the likes of Belgium, do they have more than one League, probably, but the English football is followed all over the world!
There really is no rush to start next season, so take the time & finish what’s already started!

 

The season needs to be voided.

Start again afresh when it’s safe to do so. Relegation/promotion/qualifications can’t be awarded either based on the half way stage of the table or points per game or whatever. Teams haven’t even played the same number of games.

The legal battle cost will far outweighs the cost of voiding the season.

Agree with most on here. It's only football at the end of the day. The way Sky Sports are carrying on is ridiculous, debating whether they can start behind closed doors matches soon.. No you ****ing cant, what makes football so special that it can go against government social distancing rules? If we're all on lockdown, thats for everyone, football is no different.

I also think it makes sense to void the current season. I fully understand what that means for certain clubs, winning the league, promotions, relegations etc.. but how else do you do it? The closer we get to next season makes it uncertain if that will even start on its normal date. So what are they proposing here, that we delay the start of next season too? which would delay everything that follows unless they dont have as many international breaks.. I just cant see it happening.

This has ruined many lives and businesses around the world and football shouldnt get special treatment.

 

If football were to restart, I think video replays pf players spitting, covering one nostril and blowing out of the other should lead to automatic sending offs and 3 match bans. St Johns ambulance people carrying stretchers should wear hazmat suits Thats how ridiculous the thought of restarting it is..

 

The Premier League is morally bankrupt. How many tests will they be depriving key front line workers from just to kick a ****ing football about? I know they're ****ting themselves over TV money, but that'll ****ing teach the greedy bastards, eh?

 

I quite liked the proposal I heard a few weeks ago that those who spit at others should be done under anti-terrorism laws - ie class it as biological warfare in the current climate.

 

Crisp and red rum comes to mind.

 

Crowning the champion won’t be the issue. It’ll be the relegated sides or the sides that don’t qualify for Europe.

 

In a frank Sinatra voice

you can’t have one with out the other

 

Premier League restart: Liverpool mayor fears 'farcical' situation

The Hundred - the England and Wales Cricket Board's new city-based tournament - has been postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Of course today's decision is tinged with disappointment but we do recognise the country is going through something unprecedented," ECB chief executive Tom Harrison told BBC Sport.
"All sectors of society are redeploying their thinking to how we help the country get out of this, rather than fulfilling the ambitions we might have for our certain sports. In our case, the sacrifices we are making at the moment seem very small in comparison to what is happening in the big picture."

Football, please take note
