Gaz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I suppose one silver lining is that Liverpool will probably win the EPL in the most underwhelming way possible. Either behind closed doors or by default. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we'd get the automatic spot (if these March playoffs don't go ahead) due to us being the top seed in C. No doubt if that happens, the Euros will then be cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It might end up being a bit wimpy and becoming like other viruses that we accept as one of life's risks by May, diminishing at the end of Spring. Here's hoping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It would be selfish to keep playing and not put the health of others first right now. For this reason, I strongly suggest that we make this season's Scottish League Two null and void, restarting afresh with all the same teams in August (P0 W0 D0 L0). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there's 50,000 there you'll only be in contact with a few for more than seconds. Indeed. The Government is thinking about forcing Sky and BT to show the rest of the EPL season for free to stop people congregating in pubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Universities in Scotland apparently suspending clinical placements for med students, which also means no new doctors in August because the final examine involves clinical skills and they havent been signed off. Government is either grossly over egging this or isnt telling the public everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that not everybody goes to the pub for the football, I also propose that they force the breweries to send us all a keg or two for free. Can't be too careful I say. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Indeed. The Government is thinking about forcing Sky and BT to show the rest of the EPL season for free to stop people congregating in pubs. Sky offered to air Serie A free of charge but the league refused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will mean fans are travelling from country to country That's true. Although on the other hand it gives some room for movement if one or two countries do not wish to host the games. For example if the Italian government refused to allow the Rome matches to be played, it might be possible to play them at another host city at relatively short notice. However if it was a normal tournament that had a host country if that government did not want the tournament being played, say Italy, then the whole thing would need to be binned. I think come the tournament the virus will be so widespread that countries will be past worrying about flights from other countries or mass gatherings. However I can't see how the play-offs are going to go ahead, most countries will be at the stage Italy are now at by then.
