Heard someone say on the radio earlier can you imagine if Liverpool played behind closed doors and officially won the league for the first time in 30 years? You'd have tens of thousands out in the streets celebrating. Same with Celtic to a lesser extent.

This season is finished, and if I am honest I dont think the new season will start with full stadiums until atleast October, if it starts at all. Theres already talk that this may go quiet for a couple of months and then rear its ugly head again next winter, another lockdown?

I don't think anyone on here is suggesting that football players should be tested ahead of nurses, just for the sake of getting a few football matches played.

The whole point of being a football fan, is going to see your team
Unless it’s for Financial reasons, I’d hate if this happened

Unfortunately a minority of people including a highly qualified, high profile medical professional seem determined to spoil it for everyone though.
The abdication of any kind of personal responsibility demonstrated by some makes me wonder how they get through life. 'Oh the government didn't specifically say I couldn't drive 50 miles, climb a mountain then pop to the beach for a bit of sunbathing on the way home so I thought it might be ok'.

to stay at home. So if you’ve been good and stayed at home then come across some flump or flumps whilst out it could unravel the good work.
Don’t punish the many for the half-wittery of a few. But I dunno how you manage either situation tbh.

Yup lockdown will be till minimum end of the this month and probably much longer.
I can see the government getting tougher soon and exercise only 500 yards from home at most.
They are drip feeding it like the previous lockdown so it doesn’t come as complete shock to everyone.

After all of the stuff I've read regarding the PFA etc in the past few days, I'm not sure my initial enthusiasm for televised football remains.

A lot of folk missing the point here. Nobody in their right mind is advocating closed doors games now, or any time soon. When the exit strategy to all this begins, it’ll be a very gradual process. It won’t be a case of one day we all go back to normal. Travel and gatherings of people will be curtailed for a good while after the first lockdown rules are relaxed. I suspect large gatherings such as gigs and sporting events will be a long way off and, if you heard the interviews with the Aberdeen & Raith chairmen yesterday, it’s clearly being discussed in those circles. We might be able to play football long before we can go along to watch it at Easter Road.

They absolutely shouldn't be tested before any key workers - I wasn't for a moment suggesting that these pampered pooches be treated as any kind of priority. It was more 'if and when we get to a place of sufficient testing' and there's sufficient capacity to check everyone entering the stadium pre-match. I thought that would go without saying, but I should have been clearer. It might mean them getting tested before some people, but I thought there might be a bit of a trade-off with regards to live televised sport providing a bit of a morale boost for some.
As I said in my reply to SDG though, I no longer feel an enthusiasm for the idea. The PFA weaponising the NHS in their justification of exorbitant player salaries (who are currently getting paid for **** all other than keeping themselves fit) was utterly disgusting, especially when their billionaire bosses are relying on taxpayer funds to cover the salaries of furloughed non-playing staff.
Agree with the timescales on full spectator games - I doubt we'll see that until next season start at the earliest.

In Oz it’s just been announced that the Rugby League is considering taking a number of teams to an island off the coat of Queensland, supposedly in a ‘bubble’ to play games for television by June.
Sounds a harebrained scheme to me, and given the codes behaviour record, almost a lunatic one.
80 odd Australian rugby league players marooned on an island with little to do but drink......
What could possibly go wrong?

All sport has to take a step back until this virus is dealt with, we are all severely affected by this and sport really has to be low on the agenda.
I know there are massive ramifications but, everyone’s health just has to come first!

Closed Doors?
What would be the special rules?
No spitting on the grass.
No sweating or breathing hard just in case some biological transfer occurs.
Goalie must wash his hands every time he holds the ball.
No headers.
No ball boys - players must retrieve themselves - argue over fetching the ball and red card.
Referee in hazard suit.
An ambulance to the game for each player.
TV personnel special permission to wire up cameras and transmitters.
If players have insurance for end of career injury does it become invalid if lungs are affected so they can no longer maintain physical stress.
Family isolation would be necessary. Where? How?
Covid19 kills people. Stop unnecessary activity until the time is safe to resume from whatever situation we eventually end with.
