    Given previous track record, it'll probably be about three days until this plan is ditched for being infeasible.

    Premier League 2019/20

    Premier League chiefs were already desperate to avoid pulling the plug on the campaign as it would leave the top flight exposed to a £750 million compensation claim from broadcasters. But they have now totted up additional potential liabilities of over £250 million from breaching sponsorship and...

    Would the traditional parading of coffins of vanquished foes through the streets be considered appropriate at this time?

    Serie A 2019/20

    Yeah, I think it's just the reality of the situation sinking in. I still don't like the options available in this scenario, though: it doesn't feel right to give out titles when the league hasn't been completed; nor does it feel just to pretend this whole season never happened. Either way, the...

    Serie A 2019/20

    It is interesting that the general chatter in the media seems to be edging further towards no more football being played this season and how that could/should be handled. A week or two ago there was more talk about how to get games played.

    What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Wondering if there should be a prize and/or big ceremony for the world's 1,000,000th confirmed covid case. Also, how well would it be received if some really harmful/misleading advice was to be widely publicised tomorrow under the cover of it being April Fool's Day?

    Scandalously, it's seems like governments have. I'm yet to see any local or national plan to help hookers through this difficult time. Just what kind of society do we live in? :disagree:

    Serie A 2019/20

    The calender year? Can imagine games being played in empty stadiums, but can't imagine football shutting down entirely for that long. I'm not at that point yet, but every day/week that goes by makes it harder to see this season finish in anything vaguely resembling a normal fashion. But it...

    You'd have to have social distancing ended. You'd probably also have to be allowing gatherings of a few hundred people, because even 'closed door' games have to have quite a lot of people about.

    Serie A 2019/20

    I'm sure that's a big part of why they aren't saying anything publicly. But if it turns out football could be played in June/July to complete the season, I don't think the TV companies would be very impressed if the football authorities decided against playing out the season.

    Serie A 2019/20

    Feel across all leagues and competitions thus far the TV companies have been very quiet in all this. They could apply a lot of pressure to move towards a particular outcome if they wanted to.

    I would love to know who does the ratings for Dundee Utd. They have been vastly overrated on every FM for as long as I can remember.
