Majority in favour of resuming Premier League and EFL seasons behind closed doors

This has been the view among a series of figures, and was reported by the Independent on 12 March, but an initial agreement to park such has moves has given way to disquiet over continuing the season amid a health crisis.

Dangerous 'story' from ...very irresponsible.

Majority.. of thick footballers and fans

Majority of whom? Morons!

Football is a spectator sport, playing behind closed doors makes a mockery of the game. Void the season so that we can resume playing together!

Not gonna happen, not this year.

Majority of whom?

People on the thread have a word with yourselves. Peak predicted to be mid April. Starting beginning June therefore feasible. If not - pull the plug

Ozil will have no problem with social distancing on the pitch

WHAT!! How are they going to keep social distancing Morons putting money before players and staffs heath. I guess they’ll just keep testing everyone after each game and keep taking tests away from the NHS!!! I wonder if sky is putting presure on as sky sports is paused!!!

How does that work with social distancing?

How is anyone able to play football if: (a) No gatherings greater than 2 people. (b) Everyone has to remain 2 metres apart at all times.

No!!

Cancel it for this term.

They want more death

Games behind close doors will not work. One sick player could infect an entire team, even a few sick players reduces the 'fairness' of the league and I can't see how no players will have Covid. You need medical staff there and injuries will need treatment when we are converting..

Somethings are more important what’s the point?

Community transmission between players. No thanks

And how exactly are they going to do this. Are they going to tackle each other telepathically. I suggest getting all the teams set up on FIFA20 in their current league positions and having an online shootout

Just call the season null and void and start afresh in August if this pandemic is over by then.

Why This is not needed.... people are dying; Football is finished!

Majority of idiots
