So we're ok with public transport resuming as normal, dentists, hairdressers owning in a couple of weeks, most high street shops shortly after but we're not ok with people playing football after weekly tests clearing them of C19? Weird.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of that list, aside hairdressers and perhaps most high street shops, football is not important.

It’s not important anyway. It’s a distraction, elevated higher to most people. It’s one of the last things that should be considered. It’s up there with new movie production in irrelevance.

I don't really understand how the tubes are going to be allowed to open up fully in the next few months.

If they do then football should be allowed to run with fans because if the tube's running the virus will be spreading like wildfire anyway.

I imagine in the hands of our incompetent government many more illogical decisions will be made though.

It also has a big impact on the economy. It’s not just the industry itself, but also all the associated ones that cone with it.

this. Some of us are over complicating something quite simple.

I think the seasons over. You can’t just stop and restart seasons. Even if you were to do so, it would just feel like you’re starting a new season. I think the best decision is to end the season, Give Liverpool the title, find some fair way to determine Champions league places (I think the best way would be something to do with UEFA club coefficients) and don’t relegate or promote anyone. I appreciate some teams would lose out in this situation, but they can take a short term hit as far as I’m concerned.

If it turns out that football can safely resume before the start of next season (which I don’t think is the case, I think that the meaning of ‘safely’ is being stretched to protect financial interests) that’s great. Clubs are free to use that time to safely prepare for the 20/21 season. But this season, I think it’s time to end it.

You can stop and restart seasons, loads of countries have winter breaks.

Also what the feck i fair about UEFA coefficients?

That just rewards teams that have been crap this season at the expense of those that have been better, how in any way is that fair. The only fair way to give out European spots is by taking this seasons final standings when the season was pulled.

I like the UEFA coefficient idea because I think, assuming the season isn’t completed, it gives the best chance of selecting the best teams to play in Europe. Yeah, some teams will lose out, like lester, in that scenario, but it is what it is. This is all completely extraordinary circumstances, and if a couple of teams lose out, so be it

So it's extraordinary circumstances but we can't stop and resume the season?

Seems like these extraordinary circumstances only kick in when convenient to you.

Madness isn't it. How can anyone think rewarding teams that have been crap is fair is beyond me. Three quarters of the season happened, why the feck do we need to pretend none of it happened?

And to be clear, it makes no difference to me, Wolves will be in the Europa league when things resume, whether it be this seasons or next seasons.

Oh shut the furrrk up. You’re boring me now.

The seasons gone now. Even if were to restart at any point, it would end way after the usual end date for the season, thus affecting next season and the potential for that to even possibly run normally. For me, that’s the most important thing from a football perspective.

Ps, i said give Liverpool the title, so don’t come back with you “blah blah blah anti Liverpool agenda bullshiiiit” please.

Why are you choosing the focus on the maybe 5% of cases that would fall under this category instead of the other 95% of cases in which teams would be end up with more or less what they deserve.

Because your idea would reward Spurs and Arsenal who have been frankly diabolical. They have an unfair advantage already money wise and fecked it up, no way do they deserve to benefit from this mess.

UEFA have already said that this seasons standings, void or not would be used

Of course thats what you think because you're thicker than the average and nobody really cares or takes your opinion seriously. You're the site jester. You're job is to wear fancy costumes and do stupid and silly stuff to make people laugh and to remain relevant.

Know your place and stay there.

I agree on the UEFA Coefficient .

Arsenal are 10th having not qualified for the UCL for ages, lost the Europa final (to chelsea who are 14th), and lie ahead of teams such as Dortmund & SPurs on the basis of doing OK in a competition so weak they play their kids through most games.

So lets say that Spurs play United. 2 days after the game Kane is tested positive - 14 days self isolation along with everyone who came in contact with him - ie All of Spurs and all of Man Utd squad.

Any attempt to squeeze the rest of these fixtures in is then blown away.

Whether its restarting this season or beginning next, there has to be real certainty that these sorts of issues will not arise. If its next season then at least there may be scope to 'make up lost ground' but in the case of a restart of this season, such issues can potentially undermine the ability to actually finish the season in a timely way, allowing next season to start.
