I think null and void are the minority

Haven’t heard many say they don’t think Liverpool would’ve probably won it prior to all this mess

But look at Chelsea, their best MF is basically refusing to come back because he is an at risk ethnic group and if they struggle to keep 4th from United I’m sure they will be thrilled

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that not the same for every club though? Why should it not just be treated as injury? If you catch it, have symptoms or must self isolate etc, why is that any different to what a 2 week hamstring injury would be?

What happens if Chelsea have an injury crisis under normal circumstances? What do they say then? "Oh but we didn't have our full strength squad so can we just do it again"? No.

If you treat this illness like an injury, then where is the problem? If the illness gets through too much of the squad, that's when clubs, the PL and the FA have to compromise. It doesn't matter when it gets finished, just providing it does.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm inclined to agree. I can think of at least one team (Spurs) who have actually benefitted from this. We (United) were due to play them when both Kane and Son were injured, the PL was suspended 2 days before that match was due to take place. And now they will both be fit for the season run in. So it's not all one way

You said I literally wrote something, which I hadnt, rewrote me saying "it doesnt bother me" to "I could care less" and then accussed me of rewriting something.

You've had an absolute mare and Hillsborough wasn't about the actual safety in the ground anyway you thick cvnt.

“Didn't know any of that. Youre right though, it doesnt bother me one bit.“

You can’t say forcing players to play when they are uncomfortable and treating them like robots is the same as getting injured playing

Such an ignorant statement

But on the topic Of injuries these players can’t even train properly and after what two months off they’re gonna be dropped into intense games....yeah that won’t end in injuries at all.

That’s why we have preseason isn’t it??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't say you had to force them. In fact I have literally just said that if it becomes unbearable for clubs, then you can postpone the fixtures for some clubs again. Like I said, it doesn't matter when it finishes, just so long as it does.

Nobody said drop them into intense games either. It doesn't have to start on June 1st if that's not feasible, but there does come a point where players will have to start training again and will become fitter.

Some players and clubs will have been back training for 2 weeks by the time the season is meant to restart, do you think pre-season is about 6 weeks worth of running or something?

So I guess June 18 or whatever we start four weeks of warm up games getting everyone “match fit” or do spurs and United play a crucial game for European qualification?!

“ But on the topic Of injuries these players can’t even train properly and after what two months off they’re gonna be dropped into intense games....yeah that won’t end in injuries at all.”

This is why they’ve started training now, 2/3 weeks before they intent on restarting. The intensity of training will be amped up like they do in preseason.

They then trained for 8 weeks including 7 pre season games. I won’t even get into training properly (contact, set pieces etc) all things they can’t do now.

The players have had a typical summer break working on exercise bikes and relaxing and suddenly they’re thrust into the deep end of a season with not even a friendly to fine tune.

Do you think it takes 8 weeks and 7 pre-season games to get up to match fitness? Is that what you think pre-season is for?

You don't think that managers will want to improve players on the training pitch, or will want to get their ideas across to the players etc. You think its all about just running around for 8 weeks and that's how long it takes to become match fit?

Nobody is expecting all the players to be match fit, but did the players in Germany last week look so bad, unfit and out of shape to you? I'd say one example, Dortmund, looked very sharp actually.

Nohlman , isn’t it more likely that BAME are more likely to get the virus/die from it as they’re more likely to live in poorer areas and that in itself can lead to issues that let the virus thrive/spread more virulently?

A BAME millionaire footballer isn’t quite the same thing as a BAME guy living in a tenement building with dietary issues and all the other ailments that are linked to low income.

That's 8 from two rounds of testing, first round was what 750 players and staff. Less than 1%...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye but how many next time? How many false results have there been? The testing isn't accurate from what I keep hearing. Quite a few false positives and false negatives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who knows, but saying to call it off now cause of less than 1% of players and staff have tested positive is essentially saying no football for God knows how long.

Its not "exactly the same" as the PL though is it. They have a winter break in between and play 4 less league games over the course of the season and only have 1 cup competition.

I'm not saying I'm a qualified fitness coach, but I don't think players who play at such intensity and train virtually everyday, all year long will take up to 8 weeks to become match fit again.

Like I say, I think a lot of pre-season is about fine tuning players to get them to play how the manager wants them to.

interesting that al players get tested and 6positive. Then 2 days later all tested again and 2 positive.

Where have they contracted it from? Goes to show that just because the work environment is sterile (supposedly) It can still come in from outside any club and be spread unwittingly
