A bit more on La Ligas supposed return too

The New York Times noted that La Liga want “daily tests for coronavirus” for all those involved.

Guillem Balague confirmed that La Liga have already bought up enough testing kits to satisfy that requirement. However, just because La Liga have the kits, that’s not the end of the matter. Instead, some clubs are concerned with the moral and ethical issues of testing players every day while Spanish civilians may be struggling to get the same tests.

Guillem Balague confirmed that Celta Vigo are refusing to take the Covid-19 tests right now as they believe others in society need the tests more urgently.

Aside from testing, there are also bigger safety issues at play regarding La Liga’s possible resumption.
In that regard, Guillem Balague has claimed: Barcelona are considering telling La Liga that they will not play unless there are enough guarantees that it’s safe to do so.

The problem with Barcelona’s stance is that La Liga aim to get every player in the league to sign waiver forms. Balague continued: As part of the protocal players have to sign a consent that they have been informed that there is no risk.
Players aren’t happy to sign this. Who will be responsible if they catch it?

Wow. And I thought the Premier League was full of self-interester rotters, but La Liga showing them how to really douchebag it up there. Well done to Celta Vigo - that's a stand I'd want to see Everton take. Barcelona are also in the right there.

The athletic article on this was good yesterday. Said that the chief doctors of all the premier league sides have sent an unsigned letter to the league raising 2100 points they want to see addressed before they'd be comfortable with any restart.The liability one you identify last here was one of their major concerns.

The league's response was, essentially. a resounding "be reet".

Turned out that wasn't true and that it was just a small handful of doctors raising the questions.
 

Just watched the 79 cup final on ITV, great game, 90 minutes of proper football, no tattoos, no play acting, players with teeth missing and long hair, was great.
Really good game as well with 3 goals in last 5 minutes.
