"I'd be very surprised if they scrapped it rather than follow the likes of Germany."

Their return is being herald as too early by most in Germany. Players are getting CV19, teams are in isolation, it's all a bit of a mess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Teams should be in isolation, that's how it's going to work and it's ine team with three cases isnt it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, yes.

Nobody has kicked a ball yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By isolation, I mean quarantine.

So no training. Very unfair on a side

Right so if everyone is tested and isoltated how will they catch it and how is that more reckless than going to a garden centre.

To say it's a mess seems over the top when it's three players from the second tier of German football.

I think people need to get their head around the fact that lockdown was about protecting health services being crippled not about actually not getting it per se. There's no cure and we're not staying inside for a year either.

The government may something tp say, one way or another.

If they're awarded the title and the season is voided, that's the fairest outcome imo.

——————

See I don’t see how it is fair (or most fair as nothing is fair in this) to give one team the title, essentially rewarding them for their efforts upto this point, but not also give teams promotion, relegation and European places for their efforts (or lack of) to this point.

It is a disgrace. It's like City saying they won't restart as it isn't fair that Liverpool are about to win it. Get over it. Life isn't fair and nor is football.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it would be fair for Man City to argue that. Liverpool were floundering before it was abandoned and were about to bottle it. They have now had chance to regroup which is unfair.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst this is an obvious attempt at winding up Liverpool fans, it holds a lot of merit.

Spurs were in awful form, no kane or Son. They now have a chance to revive their season.

Utd were seemingly turning a corner now.

Many examples of this, form and injuries are out the window that in itself as part of a 3 month lay off makes a mockery of the league.

It would be wholly unfair to relegate any team under these circumstances, the season is compromised and the rules have been changed part way through a season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Im glad to see you're still championing 2019 being voided after Spurs played in three home stadiums. Keep fighting the good fight mate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And? Liverpool play 80% of their games with 13 men, but I`ve not seen any season voided because of that either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No that's in your head Billy. You're famous for it.

Remember when you used to cry about us getting penalties and it turned out Spurs got more penalties at Anfield than we did?

Quite funny.

Because Liverpool are so far ahead, they would have won the league. It's a clear exception.

@DJ, yeah a 22 team league protects everyone’s best interests but then how far down the football pyramid would this go? Or is it just for PL.
========
Below the PL you would just have the same number of teams as this season. 3 go up, replaced by 3 from next tier down.


In the National Leagues 3 divisions the top 7 in each division is fighting for promotion/play-offs to be carried out while the rest of the teams are voting to void the season.

Plenty of people who have been isolated have managed to catch the virus.

How can it be anything but scrapped?

3 month lay off
No home or away advantage
Form out the window
Injuries and fitness
Fundamental changes substitution rules
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly right.

Then factor is players anxiety, fear, right mentality to even play. Project Restart is a complete joke.

Give the title to Liverpool - they've earned it and it'll shut them up.

Rest of the league is as it is.

No relegation - End all of that squabbling

Promote Leeds and Baggies - shut them 2 up and they'll be happy. Especially Leeds🥱

To play a football match you need officials, security, coaches, managers, players etc.

All of these people likely live with other folk who need to go food shopping, daily exercise, put fuel in the car, take in deliveries etc.

There's lots of way to contract the virus and the more exposure of people you have the more exposure to the virus there is.

Two people who I work with have had family members test positive for Covid-19 who have been isolated since before the lockdown. Both unfortunately passed away.

The virus survives on surfaces. Therefore, there is always potential for you to catch it from deliveries or just touching surfaces on your daily exercise.

You can say the players are isolated, but they will need to move around the country, entre different buildings etc. Unless you are going to disinfect every surface they will ever touch, track the movements of everyone who will ever step where they will; it is perfectly possible for a player or staff member to catch the virus.

Perhaps when lockdown is lifted. f all goes to plan cinemas and restaurants will be open in July. So it makes sense to have a target to start the season at the end of August as usual.

There will still be covid in August, garden centres, wilkos, B&Q and even KFC all open now.

As said the lockdown was to protect the NHS from bring crippled like the health service in Italy. We've not even used one of the emergency hospitals and there are ICU beds free.

Herd immunity is still their goal imo and this season will likely be finished whether people like it or not just as they are doing abroad.

You can void something AND award it.

Good luck telling the clubs they have continue paying the players when they are getting no income. Even sponsors will start to scale down if there product is not on the TV.
