    There is no app, there's supposed to be but trials are still ongoing and there are a few teething problems.

    Yup.

    Far too many ‘catch me if you can’ types for this T&T to work properly Imo.

    Surely, if there is no app, there is no way to do it. Are they actually suggesting a phone based system as an alternative? Hmmm...

    The phone based system is live now. Whether the 'app' solution ever works well enough to be launched is to be seen. How many people would be willing to use it is another question, data protection, invasion of privacy etc.

    I don't have a phone which could use it, (being a tight old git) as its about 20 years old and definitely not "smart"

    TalkSPORT understands the FA Cup will resume on 27th June.

    That's when the quarter finals would take place - sources tell us they could all be played at neutral venues.

    The semi-finals would be 11th July with the final on 1st August.

    At its meeting on Wednesday 27 May 2020, having carefully considered submissions from Clubs, the EFL Board agreed to progress with the proposed framework it outlined on Thursday 21 May 2020 in respect of changes to EFL Regulations in the event Season 2019/20 is curtailed in any EFL Division.

    At the same time as advising on its proposed approach last week, the Board had asked Clubs to give it appropriate consideration and provide any feedback. Communications were submitted from Clubs across all divisions and those proposals, some of which have been made available publicly, suggested how the framework in the event the season is ended prematurely could alternatively work.

    The Board has to date been consistent in its approach that playing out the remainder of Season 2019/20 when it is safe to do so, is the preferred position and whilst the Championship have advised of their intentions to resume fixtures, League Two Clubs have indicated their preference to curtail the season. At present Clubs in League One are still undecided.

    A decision on whether or not to curtail the season is a matter to be considered by Clubs in any affected division, but only once a framework for resolving open issues in such circumstances has been agreed by all members across all divisions through a Regulation change.

    After a full and comprehensive review of the Club submissions, alongside consideration of views stated at the Club meetings of 13 and 15 May 2020, the Board unanimously agreed to continue with the original approach and is now proposing to call a meeting of Clubs on Monday 8 June 2020 to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposals to introduce the Regulation change.

    The EFL Articles allow Member Clubs the opportunity to propose amendments to Regulations and should any Club wish to propose an alternative, it must do so by submitting such a proposal by no later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 2 June 2020.

    The EFL will issue any notice of meeting later that day. Any such Club proposals will be considered at the same meeting as the Board’s proposal.

    That's as clear as the lockdown rules / guidelines.

    I’m surprised they’re not selling more EFL live games. Some channels are desperate for content to fill their schedules. BBC are re-running comedies on Friday evenings when two football matches could be put there. There’s currently no soaps airing on any channel on a Thursday either. ITV had to hold back their Alan Carr Gameshow for Saturday evenings to air it after BGT but they could use a live game here and there.

    I'd forgotten the FA Cup was even a thing.

    Are we still in it?

    It suggested it was up to QF so presumably not. Buggered if I can remember who we went out to. Probably Barnsley or Crewe.

    Unless the police stop you on the way there, then they will tell you to go back home ( which one i'm not sure ) if they stop you on the way back, well you're on your way home anyway so they will just point you in the right direction.
