Footballers are no better or worse than anyone other trade though 

Why should someone work in Tesco behind the till etc 

Each to their own, nobody has to do anything they don’t want to but if footballers don't want to return to work when plenty others are doing then they shouldn’t be expecting to get paid 

Tesco would be deemed as an essential store and the preventive measures are put in place

Football isnt and preventative measures can’t be put in place

FIFA should just come out and say no football until a vaccine or its 100% safe to play, that would be the end of  it,  think they’ve got their nose in the trough as well. 

UEFA weren't happy that the French cancelled Ligue 1 without telling them first

What about all the people on building sites etc who have carried on working regardless. Remember, if you are unable to work from home the advice is crack on as you were but try to adopt social distancing. Plenty non essential  workers have had to carry on regardless

How can you social distance playing football?

You can’t, just like you can’t social distance in a whole host of other jobs that have carried on and / or will return to work in the coming weeks 

No reason why a whole host of Industries will return to work yet footballers are worried about health and safety 

Besides, I bet it’s only a few multi millionaires at the top who are ‘worried’ about catching Coronavirus. The vast majority of professional footballers will be desperate to get back into it, fuck social distancing. 50% of league 1 & 2 footballers are out of contract next month 

[Casino]

Birch, the advice isnt to try to distance at work

It is to distance

However, i do sympathise with your point

Footballers aint dying from covid

Theres many reasons not to play but footballers dieing is not one of them

Theyre fit as fuck young athletes

Is Platini still on the take ?

Although i do have a soft spot for him, as he scored the winning goal at Heysal to beat those scouse cunts *Liverpool

Booted out along with Blatter.

I think the no relegations is going to happen because if you relegate the teams how do you then decide who comes up?

What kind of effort are Brighton, Villa etc going to put into a game though if they know they're not going down?

Players won't give a fuck & will back out of any risky tackles.

It will cut down any PPV figures if folk know that a game is meaningless.

Premier league clubs are pigs at the trough.

And how is it fair on Leeds West Brom and Fulham?

[Ani]

No relegation

Neutral grounds

No fans

No integrity

No playee No payeee

It all just cascades down...

No relegation will mean that unless they have a 23 team Premiership next season, why complete the Championship with meaningless games?

I'm now of this opinion. Thought they would find a way, but not now.

I don't think the money players make is a reason that they should be back playing. This disease could radically change an individual's career, even if it doesn't kill them, and they also have families.

A simple bit of humanity, scrap the season. Let the scousers have it and agree a promotion/relegation solution.

Absolutely. It’s one season. 

As Ani said on here, look at funerals - if I (and thousands of other families) can bury our relatives with only half a dozen people in attendance, why should a game be allowed to carry on?

If we stay up, great, but in reality it’s not about that.

Few of my colleagues aren’t best pleased and it’s getting a bit tetchy on the group chat, I’m staying well out of it, I’m under contract so I’ll do what I’m told to do

Could you do your job with a certain level of PPE being worn?

Would it give you full confidence?

Not just football, but anyone with the virus undertaking vigorous exercise pumps out lots more of it than when at rest. That would increase risk from inhaling it by other participants.

I just can't see how it's feasible at the moment, unless they took everyone away to somewhere like st George's, and isolate/quarantine them for a couple of weeks to ensure they're virus free before starting.

if football needs PPE to continue, then football can't continmue

[Farrelli]

It's not feasible to consider playing IMO.

I've just heard Harry Redknapp interviewed on 5 Live and he nailed it.

Lower or mid table Prem Teams players have no incentive to risk playing.

Neutral venues or other solutions are flawed and will not be agreeable to many teams.

It is looking like null and void.

Quarantine conditions are the only feasible option. But it’s a major operation. 
There are so many complications and one thing could scupper it. 
Bundesliga thought they had nailed it then 3 players got it. 
Im not too concerned about me getting it, but passing it onto my wife or daughter gives me a sick feeling.

Plus aren’t they struggling to give PPE to frontline staff? How they going to do it with hundreds of staff and players.
 

Takinh resources off the NHS for football to resume is morally wrong to me 

Null and void it.

Professional athletes wearing altern8 masks!!!!!! Ridiculous that anyone is even thinking it

[Rudy]

10 players in Germany tested positive.
