Cancelling this season's Premier League

[davek]

Shut it down.

What a 'kin nonsense this league is. And the people in charge of this decision - PL chiefs and government - need putting in prison.

Even they know this season will end soon. It doesn't matter if they are mathematically winners; they cant be crowned champions.

If the season can’t be completed then it becomes null and void, as the relegation / promotion places can’t be settled.

They’ll no doubt move to behind closed doors matches shortly, and then a player / senior official / referee will be diagnosed and that’ll end it.

Oh well......

The fans are already over here now. Should have been decided 2 days ago.

It does seem irresponsible to have this game go ahead particularly with thousands of Spaniards flying in.

It’s a tough call to be fair but the RS-hater inside of me says that they would rather have home field and fan advantage rather than be safe with people’s health.

In fairness to them, I dont actually think its their choice. The government should have done that as soon as Spain announced all games behind closed doors.

Roma cant play tonight as Spanish government wont accept the plane landing yet we are welcoming them with open arms. You couldnt make it up

Notice the Echo is keeping a low profile,would think they would be concerned about the people of Merseyside and raising hell, but perhaps not.

Yeah, you’re probably right that it is another authorities responsibility (whether the UK government, UEFA, whoever) rather than LFC.

They should have just banned away fans

It still makes sense to cancel it now. The pre-game and game itself will be a bigger threat than fans milling about in town.

Too easy that.

We must wait until infection occurs and then start banning fans from outbreak areas, postponing these fixtures or playing behind closed doors.

And it wont mean a thing really; it might to a few thousand of their Rev James Jones fans who want to turn the place into Jonestown just to get a trophy and parade it round to rub everyone's noses in it, but it really wont matter a jot.

Hiding away from any balanced comment on the actions of Murder Inc. - as per usual.

I'm the same about my dad. I can't risk exposing him to anything. He is homebound for the foreseeable with limited contact. Pretty lousy for him and my mum, but what can you do?

I suppose it's just a case of being vigilant and fingers crossed mate.
