Briefcase Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 May as well just settle games on penalty shoot outs, at least there will be some social distancing between players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP RULZ Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 How would playing for 70 or 80 Minutes make any difference to playing for 90?? How would any integrity be left in the Competition, you would have to change the entire table to reflect all games after the same amount of time had been played. This is the easily the most ridiculous solution that has been thrown about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingofSports Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 They don't seem to have grasped the concept that 'next season' is going to be an utter shitshow as well. Until you can get fans in stadiums (good luck with that), whether it be 4,000 at Gillingham or 50,000 at Newcastle, the national obsession (or so they would like to have you think) is all but fucking redundant. See how well the 'franchises' & mega TV deals work, without the people that built and supported those clubs over the decades, through thick and thin....the people they largely forget...and trust me, I am well placed to talk about that. I'm not suggesting Covid is a positive, it's a fucking menace, but if it puts even a temporary stop to obscene wages and the general whoring, football merry-go-round, from agents to betting companies to UEFA & FIFA officials, I've no problem at all with that. VAR already ruined the season at the top level, Covid destroyed it. I hope all the clubs survive, but they won't. If it means more F.C United's & Salfords have to start-up from ground-level, so be it. It's kinda been coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see any good outcomes from them having to get a job in a slaughterhouse or something.

Nah. Salford can fuck the fuck off. The irony of Man Utd fans loving them while berating Chelsea and Citeh for buying their success is a constant source of amusement. Bet they wore green and gold scarves while buying their new kits and season tickets too. Fucking dopes.  Wasn’t there some stat recently about top clubs would still have made money or come close to it if they had zero attendances anyway? Games gone lads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
