wow, just seen what happened to 'cancelling...' thread. don't mess around with our great @Groucho

as for the PL, we have two examples from Europe so far, Belgium handed the title to Club Brugge, Dutch voided the league and declared no champions. Much to follow in mid May. Think sadly they will hand it to RS but they won't continue with the games.

They are determined one way or another to get this restarted and finished.
It is nothing short of criminal. They are knowingly going to put peoples lives
at risk to play a game of football - it really is beyond belief!
I just hope a few of the players just turn round and say 'thanks but no thanks'.
But I'm not holding my breath. The whole game is getting me down now. I think
I've has enough of it to be honest.
 
Yep ditto that. Every day I feel more removed from it and dont care either way which means a lot. This has blighted my view of the sport in general. I wont watch behind closed doors games. Dont see any point. I watched a few NRL rugby league games behind closed doors and they were dire to watch.
 
All we need to do find one player with a fever/temp/cough and that team is shut down for 14 days in line with Government guidelines.

And we are moaning about Moise Kean holding a party, the lad is doing his bit to Void The League!
 

I put an acca on out of boredom and one team in Belarus let me down for £200 yesterday, but there are more games playing today. And in the words of a famous Evertonian "we go again"
 

Merkel may stop the Gernan league restarting, with the State secretary at Germany’s Interior Ministry, saying that the ministry is willing to start talking but “in view of the still difficult pandemic situation, there should be no prospect of any opening or relaxation of sports operations on a specific date.”

Tbf he's probably right - either way im not arsed tbh

If they restart it then I get to atleast have something to watch on the weekend rather than tat on Netflix.

If they dont then im not that fussed as wouldnt be able to get down to GP regardless.

The Kopites will be awarded the title either way so dont really care.

Some points there I hadn't even thought about.

No chance the season can go ahead. If it does then it would betray every single lower league team in favour of the top club's. That's the bigger picture, I doubt united or Chelsea or even us have a financial issue putting a closed doors game on. Asking 24 league 2 club's to do it would be crippling to them.

For three leagues as well , another 10 times , Jesus that is a lot of games to run in a pandemic.

Here's the latest brainwave to help things get restarted again:

How does this effect the 'intergrity of the league' with different rules for the
games to be played as opposed to the games already played?

Clearly this change will be a huge advantage to teams who have
real depth in their respective squads

Integrity of the game is just another cliche that is only rolled out when everyone knows something ain't right and they feel the need to justify it.
