Project restart discussion.

Oh a water break in the middle of a half, ENTIRELY the same!

So do these friendlies get you points now?

 

[toffeejack]

Mood of the nation lifted as Sheffield united and Aston villa play out drab 0-0 draw marred in technology controversy in front of no fans.

Two Arsenal injuries already..

 

[DrEFC]

Ha ha, have you seen the fan screen behind the goal, like a few fans are Zoom calling the match?

 

[jaycee]

I dont think these actually want anybody to watch

 

[Efcjake]

Hope you enjoyed the first night of the restart @gwladysnight

What's the verdict on the return of the prem, I didn't watch it as I'm sort of having my own little protest at the farce of it all, I believe they had a fancam of fans sat at home in their kits and scarves watching the laptop, sounds like a kopites wet dream

So Fraser has refused to sign an extension with Bournemouth to play these games.
Can totally understand that. If he got injured now his future is uncertain. Bournemouth could go down and they would jib him off.
So that’s them without a key player for them.

Now the flip side of that is that Spurs have Kane back, United have Rashford back, and they were out for the season.

If they scored against you and as a consequence you got relegated you would feel completely robbed.

The whole thing is a joke. I hope it falls on its arse.

Spurs have got Kane back, Man U have got Rashford back but you're forgetting that you're gonna have Theo back.

Spurs have got Kane back, Man U have got Rashford back but you're forgetting that you're gonna have Theo back.

And kids have got school dinners back.The only good thing to come out of this.

Is anyone objecting to the restart so much that they arent going to watch on TV?

To give an honest answer, I will watch it if there is nothing else decent on a Saturday night. In Aus, all games are live, including all the 3pm games (10pm local time). I have a feeling that I will be constantly switching between games rather than watching one in partcular. This weekend I have other plans so won't be watching any.

Depressing the ones going on about it like it somehow makes them a bigger football fan because they're boycotting watching the football. Isn't next season going to probably be played behind closed doors anyway? or at least the majority of it I presume?. Are people going to boycott watching next season until they can go the game again?

Not a boycott as such. I just have no interest in it, try as I might. It just feels hollow, meaningless.
Without the tribalism football is nothing.

It’s different to me being American and not something I was born into... but I’m not into this at all. I think it might be because the whole thing is a foregone conclusion and has been since September.

I do wonder if I’ll feel the same way when basketball and ice hockey start up again over here with no fans. At least they have playoffs and it’s all still to play for.
