That too! Would be quite fascinating to watch. Wouldn't want months of it as the novelty would wear off quick, but if we end up having a month or so of it, so be it, it'll be an experience.

Just call off this season. VAR has already ruined it, now this.

Good thing football isn't a contact sport then.
Just as long as no one shakes hands before the match. It's fine if you do it after of course. Or before you get on the pitch. Or in the stands when there's about 10k+ plus people in close proximity to you.

Surely the should end the season now and void it altogether, for health and safety reasons.
No one wins the league, no one gets relegated. It's the only fair way to do it.

Players still ram into each other and spit all over the place though
No handshakes, no fair play. The league's basically done. Cancel the season.
Exactly. With fair play (and football's usual gentlemanly conduct) now totally abandoned, games will simply be reduced to a circus of cheating, fouling, diving and abusive behaviour.
No choice but to scrap the whole thing.
They definitely need to void it and start anew next season. It’s a mockery of the sport if they do anything else
Thankfully Suarez doesn't play here anymore
More cancellations daily now. I reckon the derby could be our last open doors home game. 11 days until LASK after that and I expect things to dramatically escalate.
How do they plan to stop the players and probably whole squads going down with the virus? If they're interacting with their families don't see how it can be avoided if spreading in the general population?
Unless they're isolated for months, if spreads in general population this season surely toast?

West Brom and Leeds to name just 2 might disagree with that being fair
Can we all just stop over reacting. It's just a virus, take care of your immune system and you'll be fine.
Yeah, just good ol' vit c and washing your hands will do the job. The old and weak? Whatevs
Had enough of listening to experts.
Doesn’t it taint the season if playing behind closed doors? The home team loses a big advantage of favs behind you & just kind of ruins the fairness aspect of the season.
Playing Liverpool at Anfield with no fans is much easier than with them for example.

what an uneducated reply....... idiot
Lmfao.. Just be sensible people. We have 10 cases so far in Estonia, but our medical professionals aren't being idiots and overreacting about it. This new virus spreads such as all viruses and flu has been spreading so far, there's no major difference about it.
And yet it’s got a mortality rate some 34x more than the flu.
It is incredible how many people don’t get simple logic.
“the flu kills more just wash your hands” is such a completely idiotic stance at this point you almost have to be wilfully contrarian and desperate to appear superior to adopt this position.

He's an idiot mate, it's not the flu for starters.
Exactly! Its nothing like the normal flu, even healthy people and healthy doctors have died so far taking all the correct precautions
Obvious, it's new, no vaccine and it's very concentrated atm. On big flu outbreaks nobody have ever done that kind of extreme measures. Nor they did with MERS or SARS.
LeBron James said he wouldn’t play in front of no fans if had to because of the Coronavirus. As that’s who he plays for.
Could we see premier league players refuse to play?

(insert player in bad form name) has been refusing to play for years!
Lingard has been refusing to play for years!
With all due respect, you also have a population of under 1.5m, a much lower density by an order of magnitude, and are a country that basically sits on the fringes of international tourism and business. I’d be far less worried if I lived in Estonia too. Heck, I’d be far less worried if I lived anywhere outside the main cities in Scotland.
True. But saying that in high density placed you should seclude yourself in a bubble and yell at everyone who doesn't do it, that they are uneducated is a bit of dumb move. You are just a mad person.
Trust the medical professionals, not some random ass reddit fearmongers.
Crazy. My partner has a red blood cell condition and no spleen. How do you recommend she takes care of her immune system? The flu can kill her and so can this.
Hopefully you arent taking her to old Trafford then
Reading about the funeral in Spain where more than 60 people got infected makes you wonder about any grouping event. Football should be stopped and voided all over Europe until we can restart new seasons.
There was some expert on the news yesterday saying that stopping sports events might not even have an effect, which is quite obviously bollocks. There's going to be so many more deaths than necessary because of dumbassery, nonchalance and lack of action.
Nobody cancelled the PL for bird flu or swine flu, and we're all fine now. I remember being afraid that birds would be around me when I went outside, I thought I would contract the virus if a bird happened to peck me or even lightly graze me with its beak. But that turned out not to be the case, I was ignorant to how bird flu actually worked.
Wow.
This thread is another perfect example that a lot on here should stick to just football, because anything else they’re embarrassingly ignorant and clueless.
Sorry just coming back to this again because it has genuinely cracked me up. 'if a bird happened to peck me' is actual comedy gold
