Start the league next season again, everyone starts in each league with the same points gap they have from 1-20. Liverpool will still be 25 points ahead but will have 38 games left. Leeds be 10 clear etc. Its like a betting handicap.
Whatever happens, people will moan. There is no win situation in any of this

We haven't hit the peak in this country yet, no way we are starting 4th April. teams need to start training again and get up to speed yet. Too much going on. Racing know the score, they have stopped until May. I'm sure Football will follow
 
Where is that number coming from tho?

China seem to be over it and they only had 80,000 infected throughout the whole thing, numbers of deaths are much lower
China put whole sections of the country into complete lockdown, and when they say lockdown in China they mean exactly that.

In Ireland and throughout Europe pubs, restaurants, school, colleges have been shutting down completely over the last ten day, as Brisan123 said earlier we have lost nearly 350,000 jobs in a little over a week and we know that we are only heading into the worst of it. We are told we will have 15,000 cases of the virus before the end of this month alone.

As I understand it there has been no closures yet in England . I fear that unless the government acts very soon(if it isn't already to late) there could be carnage in England.
Football , and when it restarts will soon be an issue pushed to the back of peoples minds as they battle with life and death issues.
The season is gone, next season may be late starting at best.
Sickness, death, loss of jobs, the destruction of economies are the topics to be discussed over the coming months.

From the government press conference yesterday, they hope to make the the minimum. They suspect in reality there are 10K to 50K infeced here.
 

If Boris does not get his act together and force schools ,pubs ,bars ,restaurants cinemas etc to close like the rest of europe Britain is in for a long and deadly summer.
Someone said Boris will be judged on how he handles this no he wont
He will be judged on the number of dead bodies that will be piled up at the end of this

The press conference yesterday made things clearer. The fact is we are in uncharted waters over this business. It is impossible to state what will be the number of infections or people passing away. The figures quoted are estimates on looking at China and Italy. For BoJo will not be judged on the parameter you quote, it is at the moment impossible to give any firm figures, we will not now until the end whenever that may be. ON the subject the leisure industry the chancellor has addressed that and as for schools, ATM I think he is correct to keep them open as long as possible. Closing themwill send children home, to play on the streets, parents to take time off work or worst of all for Grandparents to mind them. Closure may well come IDC, the government are on top of this.

From memory, you live in Eire, ist hat right? So what is your government doing?

That is right, it has been left to those businesses, it was made clear it was a matter of personal choice for one to go for a drink or a meal just maintain a safe distance and keep clean.

AS an example a very posh restuarant here where I live are staying op. They have taken steps to provide disinfectant facilities like hand gel, they are taking more staff to support the rigid and frequent cleaning of tables etc, also some table have been removed and the spaces between what is left have been increased substantially. Now that is constructive forward thinking are other business owners brain dead?

Can you explain the rationale you used to reach that conclusion please
Well if Europe was written off due to the complications of getting qualifiers , a lot of teams would void the season rather than try and fit the games in before next season. After all, if you just want to determine winner / loser positions then why would a lot of club's care?

Whereas if club's still have Europe to play for then you have a fair few club's who would want to finish, sheff , wolves, Chelsea , foxes , United , arsenal to name a few

It was referred to as a war last night and that's how it should be treated. Football is second in this, and we have no idea as yet as to when its going to be able to restarted. It may well be next Jan before it gets up and running, so in that case its surely easier to just carry on. However, if it gets to September, October, then you can call this season done and dusted. There is no way that they can realistically condense a full regular season into about 5 months. It'd take 2 months to get this season done, then you cant just have season 1 on Wednesday and season 2 starting on Saturday. Also, what about players contracts, transfers etc. Some well known managers in the premier league have been VERY vocal about a Christmas break and their concerns over player safety and health, they surely can't then propose that they play 2-3 games a week without rest, just because now it suits them. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if they don't actively oppose it, they should be publicly ridiculed, and quoted as to why it isn't possble..
