There’s probably a lot of over 60s involved in football if someone dies then I don’t think there’s a choice.

I agree. The lack of consequences are astonishing, and the authorities just won’t deal with it. It gives the impression, that the are above the law and can do whatever they like.Because I was in a thread on the caf talking about English football, mate.
Nobody should feel guilty because of their wealth. I'm talking about the privilege these players have been given to carry on doing their jobs during a national lockdown - and the amount of selfish behavior we've seen from players, and clubs - refusing to dole out any sort of punishment for breaking laws.
consistency is an issue. I suppose the difference is that the postponed games are in the league, and this was the cup.This is the most unfair English football season for some clubs.
A fine example was given last night when Villa HAD to play their game although decimated by Covid whilst other games had been postponed.
Maybe 'cause it was Liverpool ?
Yes. Someone said on the wireless tht the cost of keep getting checked 3-4 times a week would be better going into the NHS as it vastly outweighs the cost of the vaccine. All the clubs could be forced to pay for this and obviously it would work out cheaper for them in the long run.Vaccinate the players. Football is good for the morale of the country.
Will it actually go to the nhs this time? Or just another brexit lie?Yes.

"Mummy, Martin Bashir isn't a good person."Let us beat Burnley and then let's call it a day.

I'm not sure why the other poster brought up Brexit and tot to derail the thread, but that isn't how democracy works. Imagine if the Americans said: 'slavery is legal get over it'.What the fecks Brexit got to do with anything. We're out get over it.
Lockdown will take some effect. My point is just a firebreak for the League would make more sense during a lockdown than not.I doubt the cases will be much lower, in 2 weeks. The virus is out of control, highly contagious and a lot of people are flouting the rules.
In 2 weeks, I think the virus cases will be similar to what they are now. Only time will tell, though.
i would have agreed with you during the first lockdown. But project restart showed sport can be played, and played safely.The death rate in the UK is horrific. 6x that of the USA where trump fecked it up, think about that.
Yeah we all want to watch a game, but it's wrong at this point. football doesn't matter in the context of what's happening in the UK.

Because the nhs was used to get the public on board with brexit in the same way. Get brexit done, we can give the nhs 350 mill a week. And we are with the same thing, give our millionaires the vaccine instead of people who desperate need it and we’ll give the nhs an undisclosed sum of money.I'm not sure why the other poster brought up Brexit and tot to derail the thread, but that isn't how democracy works.

I think people are just bored of hearing about Brexit and Trump, to be honest. They pop up everywhere in comment sections/forums that have absolutely nothing to do with it. It could be about my little pony and one of those will still come up. (not that I would know, of course)Because the nhs was used to get the public on board with brexit in the same way.

maybe try not being so sensitive abiut the word brexit and look at the whole post.
Don't the UBS themselves pay for the tests? That should be the rule if it's notYes.

The death rate is horribly distorted by the way the authorities classify covid deaths. A positive test within 28 days is all that is needed for a death to be categorised as a covid death.The death rate in the UK is horrific. 6x that of the USA where trump fecked it up, think about that.

It should be after our next PL game and whoever is on top should be given the trophy. It's fine, give every club a rest.
feck off. 1 in 50 in the UK have covid now. 1 in 30 in London.The death rate is horribly distorted by the way the authorities classify covid deaths. A positive test within 28 days is all that is needed for a death to be categorised as a covid death.
Covid is significantly worse now than last March. The amount of games cancelled in the next month will derail the season anyway so it's a moot point really.i would have agreed with you during the first lockdown. But project restart showed sport can be played, and played safely.
im not comparing the two situations per se. But back in March we had far less information and knowledge than we do now.Covid is significantly worse now than last March. The amount of games cancelled in the next month will derail the season anyway so it's a moot point really.
Bloody hell it's amazing how many people like you are among us. Scary.In response to the OP's questions, no - English football should not be suspended. Furthermore, lockdown should be lifted as it is a blunt instrument and represents a supposed cure that is far worse than the disease.
This is the most unfair English football season for some clubs.

BIB: is there still people that seriously believe last season was restarted to give Liverpool the league? Genuine question.consistency is an issue. I suppose the difference is that the postponed games are in the league, and this was the cup.
you have 5 months to catch up on a league game, whereas you aren’t afforded that time in the cup, due to the need to play subsequent rounds. In this case I probably agree with the protocol. Rearranging cup games would be very difficult.
what does need to be made clear is at what stage can a club call off a game. How many players did city actually have out with Covid? 3?
Because there's a one in a billion chance there will be an unprecedented chain reaction that culminates in infecting Doris from Dorset.For those asking for it, what purpose would it serve?
Would it could less cases in the UK?
Less deaths?
Aside from ”solidarity”, which is far outweighed by the desperate need for entertainment during these times, I can’t see a single reason why it should stop. Anyone?
not sure why you quoted me here. Do you think by reading my posts, that I think the league was restarted to give Liverpool the league?BIB: is there still people that seriously believe last season was restarted to give Liverpool the league? Genuine question.
To answer the question put on these quotes the scheduling of a normal season doesn't allow most teams to take take the cup that seriously (unless they stumble into the latter stages) let alone this one. Villa probably decided to play this game because if I had to guess they like many others are/were secretly hoping they go out.
No! Not Doris!Because there's a one in a billion chance there will be an unprecedented chain reaction that culminates in infecting Doris from Dorset.
ha ha. I just can’t wrap my head around the calls for it, it would serve absolutely zero purpose in case numbers, hospital numbers and deaths.Because there's a one in a billion chance there will be an unprecedented chain reaction that culminates in infecting Doris from Dorset.
I hope your take is right.Unless there's new evidence on this that I haven't seen then I think you've got the wrong end of the stick slightly here.
As I understand it there is no evidence that the vaccine does stop transmission of the disease through the vaccinated person, but there's also no evidence that it doesn't.
And if you think about an asymptomatic carrier they won't be coughing, sweating and spluttering in the same way as somebody with symptoms might. Given it's thought to be a largely airborne illness then you'd have to think it would at least reduce the risk of transmission to some degree. And furthermore, I could be wrong but I don't think anyone has found clear evidence of a case of asymptomatic transmission of Covid at all, anywhere in the world, even in non-vaccinated folks. If that is correct then you'd have to assume it's odds on that the vaccine will reduce or even completely stop transmission.
I think it was one of the reasons, yes. The legal ramifications would have been historic if it were cancelled.BIB: is there still people that seriously believe last season was restarted to give Liverpool the league? Genuine question.

I want to know how the fan recognised him with a hoodie on and a mask covering 60% of his face!What is the actual PL bubble - who buys the players food?
Stupid question but with so much money at stake id expect clubs to be completely isolated with minimum contact outside of a few people running errands.
I mention this as saint maximin a player who suffered bad symptoms has been in the news having a selfie in a supermarket.
Hmmm, top of the league in 3 games time and we could 21!I think it was one of the reasons, yes. The legal ramifications would have been historic if it were cancelled.
If they could have stopped it and given Pool the title and everybody ends were they stood, they would have. Its why they they set in stone that it can be stopped after 19 games this season.
That new caveat gives it away. Its not for the integrity if the league or any such nonsense.
