Ok doke. Any need to for the shouting? Was just relating what’s on SSN!

Six players tested positive already in the Prem. Not a great start but not massively surprising. Will certainly give ammunition to those not wishing to proceed so soon though.

Good man. Like I say - hope I lose!

We really won’t. I’ll happily have a £50 wager with you with the winnings going to a charity of the winners choice that we are not back watching football at AG by the end of October. Will be incredibly happy to lose the bet but no chance!

Not sure if anyone saw the Olympiakos v Wolves game just before lockdown but it really was awful, so sterile. Maybe it’ll be different with more familiar names on show and with promotion and relegation to play for (and fantasy football!) as opposed to a nothing Europa game, but I’m with you. It’s the ‘event’ of game day I miss at the moment as opposed to the actual games themselves.

Curtis Davies was on R4 this morning basically saying as much.

Saw him interviewed last week and he spoke very well then as well. Palace are probably 90% safe though so I guess it’s easier to speak more sensibly from that position.

If it is lifted too soon and it all goes wrong once more then you will really see ‘hurt’. A few more weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things

Another few weeks of ‘pain’ will not hurt in the grand scheme of things. Rushing out of it just to placate the people who believe ‘enough is enough’ thus far will, with the greatest respect, be a complete disaster.

Think you might be in for a shock. And rightly so.

Doesn’t sound daft at all mate but like you say - way way more important things going on at the moment than trying to salvage tv money to the detriment of our critical services and putting more lives at risk, which is essentially what football would be doing if it were to rush back before it is safe to do so. We have the highest death rate in Europe now - risking even more lives for a few games of pretty meaningless football just isn’t worth it.

Agreed. In fact the longer the break the less I miss it and all the peripheral shite that goes with it. The Premier League especially are showing their true colours in their desperation that is purely money motivated.

This guy has been incredible. The most inspiring and competent politician in this sorry mess on both sides of the pond by far. Don’t know his story but surely he has to consider running next time out (too late for this year obviously).

https://www.facebook.com/awaydaysatthefootball/ not sure that will work Ska as it said it wouldn’t embed. It’s the one with 241k followers if that’s of any use!

If anyone follows the ‘Football Away Days’ page on Facebook then the Rugby Ground is today’s ground up for discussion. The post is only 10 mins old but there are some great comments already: ‘wouldn’t look out of place in Syria’....’ I went there once or twice in the 90's & judging by that picture it's stuck there‘.........’Not a great ground, away end is open or you can sit in a tent’.....’Shit ..away end open...pubs home fan friendly only ...train stations miles away’......... I’m sure the ‘compliments’ will keep on rolling in throughout the rest of the day seeing how loved they are!

To many people it doesn’t matter how long ago it was. Its not just Hillsborough anyway - it’s got a track record of racist, anti immigrant and homophobic leaning stories. It’s a vile, hate preaching rag, but each to their own on what paper they take. Free country and free press and I respect the right of the public to consume whatever news they want. Doesn’t mean you have to respect the shite that they publish though.

Being a BS7er now I thought I’d take a stroll with the dog up past the Rugby ground the other day, if only just to remind me that things could be worse (a lot worse). Imagine my surprise when I saw that their new on-site, state of the art training ground had been built already.

I’d imagine the sportswear giants such as Nike and Adidas will be working on that as we speak. More advertising opportunities for them.

Unfortunately you can’t argue with it I don’t think. Those clubs that have ‘taken the hit’ and paid their staff without resolving to taking tax payers money deserve some kind of advantage when this is over imho. Goodness knows how they will work it all out though.

I would imagine that if the extra money being invested was solely to ensure non-playing staff continued to be paid directly from the club and in turn saved the tax payer money then this wouldn’t be subject to FFP. Would be incredibly amazed if not.

Jesus wept. There you go again. Can’t help yourself I guess. Ill leave it there

Can’t see where you have stated that but happy to be proven wrong. You need to cut the condescension in your replies regardless. Maybe you haven’t been adversely affected this far but my family have and the point stands.

Take your condescending bull elsewhere ‘mate’.

Why on Earth should vital tests be given to footballers when we can’t even test our frontline NHS and care staff? My auntie is an NHS nurse and has had suspected Covid but can’t / hasn’t been tested so is off for a prolonged time. My sister runs homes for the severely mentally disabled and can’t get any tests and so her and her staff are having to do 18 hr days due to the staff shortages of those with suspected covid. These examples will be multiplied hundreds of thousands of times across the country. I’m buggered if footballers should get any special treatment and access to multiple testing before our frontline health and key workers.

Jesus wept. At 8am on a Sunday morning you are on a teams forum that has f all to do with you, still pathetically trying to get your kicks by being a incredibly bad WUM. You really are very very sad.
