    37 years ago today Aberdeen won the ECWC in Gothenburg. When he was a nipper and we were watching some turgid dross unfold before us, I told AS Jnr about the Dons beating Bayern Munich in the quarters, and Real Madrid in the final. He looked at me, then looked at the pitch, then back at me and gave me a sympathetic smile like I`d lost the plot.

    I wish I was on that ferry - I flew. I remember the plane taxiing to the end of the runway really early in the morning, then waiting for our turn to take off. It was quite quiet, then there was a single psst somewhere as the first can was opened, then another psst, then a crescendo of pssts just as the engines ran up to full speed and the pane accelerated down the runway, with everyone singing Here go, here we go, here we go! What a day.

    So La Liga hopes to resume on June 12. Playing with temperatures into the high 30s, even in the evening by July is going to go down well with the players. They will need timeouts for drinks during the match, games played at a pedestrian pace. Any surge in the rate of infections, after the easing of restrictions, and Sánchez will have to intervene.

    No racism should be tolerated, hope he gets punished.

    The Italian football clubs want to restart training from Monday.
    The Italian government says, one positive test for covid, player or staff, means the season is ended.
    That’s quite clear, but could it potentially lead to a club covering up a positive test?

    Some Liverpool fans are already accusing Brighton of that.

    Not unexpected to be honest Libby, they're starting to see the title slip away and they can't deal with it

    I don't know why they are worried, next year will be their year.

    They should engrave the ** on the trophy, and it should always be referred to as the 'title' :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    And all the other clubs should get a certificate, like when you come last in the sack race

    Dangerous game to play. Technically a manslaughter charge on the horizon. Not sure who would get the blame though.

    Lol like a participation certificate.

    "Congratulations you participated in the Premier League in 2019/20"

    Time for Celia to come up with a recipe to declare the season null and void
