Ridiculous 10 players confirmed to have covid19 yet Merkel says German football can return on 15th May or 23rd May.

The Premier League will follow suit now I reckon, if they can do it why cant we they will say.


Putting Football before lives is ridiculous 

I‘m over the moon to be honest, can’t wait to watch some live football on TV!

And thats the whole point.

People are desperate to watch live football on tv.

Whilst there are people losing loved ones every day.

Personally I don't care about live sport returning atm, until its safe to do so

Why should our enjoyment come at the risk of lives

It shouldn’t, it’s a mad decision, but it’s not my decision. I’m just excited to watch some footy. 

Not really football though is it, at least not as we know it. Glorified exhibition matches played in empty stadiums by teams I have zero interest in from a foreign league. I'd rather watch the soaps.

I mean the German League is pretty competitive standard and they actually have a title race this year. 

In normal circumstances I'd agree with you, but I reckon these games will seem more like friendlies than competitive matches. All the European games that were in empty stadiums this season were dull to watch.

Regarding the restrictions being lifted a fair degree of common sense needs to be used, for example if you decide to go and visit an elderly relative and give them the virus that is your fault not the governments. 

Does make me smile that you've got Liverpool (Mens team) wanting the season to finish for obvious reasons

On the other hand their women's team are more than happy for the Women's Super League to be cancelled when they're bottom of the League

Youre advice is dont go and see any relatives till a vaccine is found then?

my advice is people need to apply a bit of common sense and take ownership of there actions - i have worked throughout the lockdown but i take precautions - i wear a mask and gloves on train - not because its provided or law - but for my own health, i am having a covid 19 test tomorrow as a site i have been on last week has a now confirmed case of covid 19, so at 10.30am tomorrow i will be using the ebbsfleet drive through one. 

regarding seeing relatives it depends on what you do in a daily life, if you were to pass them the virus could you live with yourself etc. 

the government can only advise i feel you do have to make some decisions yourself. 

like the work from home if you can - i dont think thats too hard to get but plenty are seeming to struggle with it.

I suspect that my mother would be cautious, but my father would be happy. 

It would be a nightmare to pass on the virus to them, though on the other hand as they are elderly but aren't in the vulnerable category, once the government advice allows small family type gatherings, I will probably visit them in some way. 

After all it would be a bigger sod to not see elderly relatives for 6 months, only for one of them to die of something else in the meantime

Masks generally work against the wearer passing it onto others, rather than the wearer being protected from those with it (who aren't wearing one) passing it onto them.

Also says he wears gloves, which is for his own protection.

Have I seen the Germans are restarting on 15 May?

Apparently so, but I dont know if thats still happening after 10-players tested positive for COVID

Is the proposal behind doors or with a crowd?

The proposal is probably on paper mate, hope that helps

A weighted PPG model rather than straight PPG would take in to account how many home and away games you have left, but doesn’t account for which teams you’ve played - if you have an easier run in for example.

I’d imagine the reason the EFL are only discussing Leagues 1 and 2 is because they are slaves to the Premier League over what to do with the Championship.

if the PL rule out relegation and take 2 from the Championship to make a 22 team league then obviously the Championship won’t have relegation to keep a 24 team league.
But if the PL keep it at 20 teams (and no relegation) then the above proposal would force the EFL to relegate Championship teams too, somehow.

Korean League kicks off again tomorrow, the first match is live on YouTube at 11am our time:

https://youtu.be/xRIaHZvjipo

So, it’s better than the Belarusian League but it’s not great. 0-0 after 20 mins. 

I’m surprised by the quality in this K League game. The home team play some really nice football.

Where is the minister for sport whilst all this is happening??. 

In fact, I couldn't even tell you who it is at the moment!!
