I would hope that the Thistle board has been in contact with the UEFA. Ian Maxwell, given his position on the SPFL board, has a possible conflict of interest. We've not much chance of qualifying for European competition, so I sincerely doubt they have... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 It's this idea that if we have to wait until 2021 for any league football, that only a handful of clubs will be left to support, utter bollocks. All current football clubs will still exist in some form and all players are hardly going leave on mass to work in other professions. If your club folds it will just start again, with the same support following it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Am sure Ian Maxwell will do what's best for the whole of Scottish football not just a Few Doubt he’ll be doing anything given he’s not on the SPFL board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Good to see Partick's Lionel Hutz figure now posting his utterly desperate, clutching at straws arguments on this thread. Get fucking doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I do still think that whilst Scottish society has obliged the lockdown a lot more than English society especially in the south.With numbers starting to move in the right direction, I do think that most folk will sit this out another two weeks.However if sturgeon and Johnson don’t start things moving in the right direction , even small steps peoples patience may begin to waver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locheedee Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 4 hours ago, AYRSHIRE_ANGUS said: Yeah I know that game was seen as a "ground zero" moment for the virus in Spain and Italy. Just thinking about in a more cautious, post virus world could football restart providing everyone took the necessary precautions and ground capacity was limited. Innovative thinking is going to be required in getting things back to something resembling normality. Fk knows tbh, wasoonly responding to the bit about open air transmission. People are stupid tho and the necessary precautions aren't 100% effective so as much as I'd like to see the football back I can't see it happening for a while. Face masks only work to a degree and the virus lives for days on metal and plastic surfaces so has to be an increased risk of undoing the work to get the 'RO' of the virus below 1-1 transmission. Luckily isn't my decision to make tho so hopefully more educated folks than me will be able to give the Government the right advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) 6 hours ago, HMIP said: Let’s be clear, if we can’t go to football (which is at least open air): that means any group gatherings such as pubs, restaurants and cinemas are out as well. How many people will die from the economic damage that causes? Ooh, is it a quiz? I'm going to go with none. Absolutely nobody will die because the pub and cinema arent open. None at all. 6 hours ago, CALDERON said: I think pubs will be closed longer than football grounds to be honest. Sky News had one of those select committees on last week, and a point was made that they believe going to the pub to watch a game of football is just as if not more dangerous than being there. This. Its clearly worse. Smaller space, more likelihood of touching the same surfaces. No open air for virus particle to disperse in. Pubs will be shut at least as long as football grounds.
