what is it with some people, lots of excuses why we shouldn't play

Surely people want the season completed

think its called virtue signalling for the most part. None of them actually give a sheite about other peoples health as they claim to be the reason.

I think there's literally two or three people who are winding you guys up.

The majority are being perfectly reasonable.

by winding us up you mean amuse us with their nonsense

Well that's the stock response, yeh.

But people amused generally don't spend hours arguing something over and over again.

Makes you wonder why they scrapped the Olympics and the Euros if bringing back Premier League football is as simple as some people are making out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well first of all the Olympics and Euros require international travel.

Domestic league games don’t.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Olympics and Euros haven’t been scrapped. Don’t mind Boris.

I don't get how some people don't understand the view of neutral venues. I think Brighton, for example, have a fair point on saying that they have already played City, Liverpool, a United etc away and now have them on a home fixture that would not have the same home advantages that rivals would have. They have played the most difficult games away and will not get a home advantage in the return fixture. I think they have a reason to feel aggrieved.

But it seems that it will go ahead so at least we get some football back. Won't be the same but better than nothing. But I don't think it's fair to be honest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I understnad, as i understand their desperation to get relegation scrapped. I think its a bit spineless and cowardly myself but i get it, lot of money and future of their club.

Everyones in the same boat from this point on and they were in the same boat when the computer was randomly deciding fixtures and their order before the season even began. Its not like someones facked them over on purpose.

They need to accept responsibility for the positions they are in so far rather than coming up with excuses and try to weasel their way out of possibile/probably relegation, not only because its the manly thing to do but because theres teams who deserve to come up and take their places.

Its an unfortunate situation and some things may turn out to be unfair on some, might not its not even been decided yet because they havent played. All it is atm is speculation, i bet if we finish the season a few of these clubs crying will avoid the relegation they fear so much anyway.

OK Mr Pedantic, they've been suspended for a year on safety grounds.

Said it before. The players will have the final say and no one else.

If their safety is compromised in anyway they will pull the plug and rightly so.

This..

Unlike many others forced to work against their will they won't be skint or sacked if it's decided it's not safe to bring back football until much later in the year

The logistics could have been sorted with private planes.

They were both cancelled for financial reasons because of the lack of spectators.

Why would anyone be excited about football coming back in the manner that's being suggested? It sounds sh*t to me.Neutral grounds, no fans and players dropping about because they have symptoms of, or are worried about Coronavirus, plus they'll be rusty as they've had a couple of months off and no proper pre-season.

Yaaay

No chance the bottom six/seven will let games resume, they will use everything in their power to derail project restart so they can guarantee staying up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will also be teams currently sat occupying European places (that are at risk of dropping out of it), that will be thinking the same.

Why restart and risk missing out on Europe, when ending it now probably guarantees them a place (should there be any European competitions next season).
----------------------------------------------------------------------




Billy, it’s getting played wether you like it or not mate. You pi*** and moaning about it calling the league tainted ain’t going to change that, so just deal with it.

“ If there are rules in place and those clubs abide by the rules and vote against a restart behind closed doors at neutral grounds then it's the rule makers at fault.”

Well the reasons for clubs down the bottom have given are a load of shiite. They are voting so they can stay in the league and earn hundreds of millions next season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as any other club in their position would.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why should 17 clubs lose out for the 3 that go down?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Be honest, if Liverpool were down there you wouldn't be banging the drum about fairness if there was a chance of weazling out of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There you go in a nutshell. Couldn't give a t0 55 about Liverpool desperate to play 2 more games so they can sleep at night. Don't care about Leeds begging to get promoted automatically before they blow it again. All I care about is my club Villa. Stopping the league now with no relegation is in the best interests of my own club. Simple as that. Don't give a t 0 55 about all the slander thrown about😎

Apparently it's what the people want but I haven't read a single story about a club canvassing their own fans.

So what do you suggest then ? No football for the next 8 months ? They are saying probably no crowds until atleast Jan, so we are just going to have to deal with it. It’s s*** and nobody really wants footy without fans, but what can you do ? Footy has to resume at some point.

“ They were both cancelled for financial reasons because of the lack of spectators.”

Really?

“ Considering the current situation, in regards to the Tokyo Games, as the host nation, in order to ensure that athletes from all over the world are able to compete in their best condition, and also in order to ensure the utmost safety for the spectators, I have asked him to consider postponing the games by about a year,” Abe added.”

Insurance companies will not be happy with the season starting and a lack of pre-season, they have the power to stop the season if they refuse to cover the players.

Great soundbite, but I imagine the financial stakeholders weren't thinking along those lines when the decision was made.

It's like the heads of Sky and BT coming out with "The welfare of the players and their families is our Number 1 concern".

I doubt the players will be covered for catching Covid-19 as they'll be playing against government advice (2 metres apart).

Try getting millionaires to sign a waiver saying you agree to play knowing neither you or your familky will be covered if you catch the virus

Right, so insurance companies will be ending the season?🤔
