I reckon they will be cancelling all games from tonight.
I am not sure what will happen after though... if it continues do we call the season 'void' or do games get played behind closed doors.
How does that make teams like us feel... lets just say we would have made play-offs and got promoted... we would surely keep our best players, whereas if season is cancelled we lose them.

Breaking all games cancelled until 4th April
 
I tried to get some hand gel today for my step daughter who has an impaired immune system due to having cancer when she was 12.
None!! Anywhere!!
The pharmacist said that idiots stockpiling this stuff have put vulnerable people at serious risk.
****ers!

No mate, just a strong enough one. 60% alcohol or above I believe.
I'm going to pop back into the chemist tomorrow around noon, as the pharmacist tipped me the wink they'd (hopefully) have a fresh delivery.
 
Made me smile anyway....

UK Virus ALERT

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”

The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Russians have said “Its not us”
 
Every sport being cancelled now, England's cricket tour, the Masters golf, 6 nations, what are we all meant to watch whilst we're self isolating.

My team in Sweden, Norrköping, have just announced that all youth team training is cancelled.
I wonder whether English teams will also do this.
What is the first team going to do?
