But the current weight of global opinion certainly isn’t on our side. Like I said earlier, it’s a very British approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the 90yr old grandma in law to do her big shop yesterday. She got everything she needed but her pasta to go with her Lloyd Grossman sauce. She didn't fancy wholemeal organic spaghetti and that's all that was left. She was worried they didn't have her Harry Ramsdens mushy peas but they'd just moved shelf. No bog roll, tinned veg, pasta, Dettol or hand soap (that wasn't the expensive £5 a bottle stuff) in the place. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heep of information about why they are doing it this way. Plus, closing more stuff down hasn't been ruled out- just not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtySanchez Posted March 13, 2020 Members Share Posted March 13, 2020 Let's say they extend the footy season into June or whenever What happens to players on loan or maybe agreed a transfer elsewhere, do they stay on loan or go back and potentially play for their parent club again? If you're say Bournemouth who have that Wilson on loan from Liverpool, who looks decent and could make a difference to them staying up, but goes back to Liverpool as per the length of the loan yet they would have played him in more matches in an ordinary season Then postponing the euros till next year means delaying the start of next season to give players a rest, which then means either extending that season so pushing back the Euros again or asking prem teams to play more matches a week and we know they don't like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Each country needs to tackle it differently based on a huge number of things Namely hospital capacity and current rate of infection I’m happy with what we are doing thus far, you have to trust the experts, that’s not to say that ours are right and others are wrong. The likes of PL and EFL have decided to can fixtures mainly because they represent their members, the clubs, the consensus was that they don’t want to play football I fully agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Germany seem to be doing pretty much what we are doing. https://www.thelocal.de/20200313/coronavirus-these-are-the-measures-germany-is-asking-you-to-take Angela Merkel also said similar to Boris that it’s likely about 70% of Germans will be infected with the virus.

People are always going to be cynical about this decision What someone said about BJ talking about losing loved ones and the Irish guy talking about saving lives, and that link i posted about letting pensioners die to save money The thing is though, we don't have to follow his advice The very next day league football has been cancelled for a month A few more cases this weekend and i reckon schools will start shutting next week It's here and its going to massively damage society and the economy No one can hide And it won't be a competition to see who has the lowest death rate But you can be sure this decision will be blasted come the end, no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kent_white Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 Right end of week NHS update. We're now basically on a war footing. Amazing how such a big organisation has managed to mobilise so quickly. Focus has immediately turned to CV in place of non urgent care. People from all quarters volunteering to help where they can - including non clinicians being trained up to perform some safe clinical procedures (like blood pressure for example), to free up staff with other skills to use them more effectively. Amazing to see it all come together. Just hoping we can cope with demand from the critically ill as things progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
