I know the stuff I do for @GrandOldTeam via the YouTube channel isn't for everyone, but I did a short video on watching football restart yesterday. Basically, the whole thing was a bit weird imo.

Not wrong mate just felt empty to me and if footy being played is responsible for even one death via transmition then that is not acceptable imo
But the PL do not care

People who think football behind closed doors is somehow meaningful are on a different planet to the rest of us.
Just on SSN, Steve Bruce & Raheem Sterling both saying “we need at least 6 weeks to get fit”. So July at the earliest then lol
Spot on that Adam. I watched 5 minutes of it yesterday and just turned it off.
Football without tribalism of fans, winning away against all odds, celebrating last minute winners together with full on pile bedlam.... take that away and it's just a diluted, going through the motions game of togger.
I imagine Steve Bruce would need a lot longer than 6 weeks to get fit. lol

managers, players, and fans opinion won’t matter. Bookmakers, tv companies, media, and certain premier league clubs will decide when the season will restart and it will restart to finish this season even if it means lives are lost.

football is a complete irrelevance for society (even for Liverpool fans who have spent their life living like cult members following it). It could literally be one of the last things starting back up based on risk vs return (i.e high risk of transmission for something completely inconsequential) but instead it’s being pushed as one of the first things to be started back up even before some people are allowed back to work. Absolutely bizarre and if it goes wrong it will forever be a stain on football not that any of you kopite scum bags or your media acolytes care about a few deaths if big red get their moment in the limelight.
I’ve been trying to work out, from a government standpoint, why football apparently has permission to ‘re-open’ while a host of other industries and services haven’t been afforded the same relaxed approach. I don’t think it’s money in a pure sense as the service industry is significantly bigger than football from the Inland Revenue’s point of view.
My only conclusion is that football is appropriately small as an industry to, in principle, organise a manageable restart. In addition, the huge wealth means it is happy to fund its own risk assessment arrangements in relation to PPE, testing, sterilisation etc. The government won’t have to spend a penny on getting it going again.
Essentially, it’s the only leisure activity that can self-fund a restart that ‘satisfies’ the government’s expectations.
Will this be successful? Who knows...it’s a high-wire act that will be making a lot of well-paid people very nervous.
Do you think it is sustainable mate? As in would fans subscribe to it? I don't have BT but I found myself dabbling with the idea today to get it but soon snapped out of it. Is this charade gonna wash. The PL will hope so and Sky Sports of course watching like a snake in the long grass

I have long thought the idea of overly-obsessive support of a football club is a bit weird, but this lockdown has allowed me to take a step even further back and now I think it’s really weird.
Grown men getting themselves massively worked up and spending huge amounts of money about a game that is ultimately irrelevant to anything of any real significance in life just looks sad and pathetic.
Football is a great sport and passion is a great thing, and as cultural event for people to enjoy with friends and family is fantastic. But when it actually negatively impacts on your mental health and your mood beyond an hour or so after the final whistle, you need to get your priorities in life straight.
Fans calling for the Premier League to restart need to give their heads a wobble. It simply isn’t important in this current climate. The clubs themselves and media who need it to make bigger profits should be rightly criticised for rushing a restart in these circumstances. Premier League clubs will not go out of business because of a curtailed season. Their profits just won’t be as big. Same goes for Sky.
