Belgium is behind closed doors until April.

To the relief of anybody who pays money to watch the Jupiler Pro League

Bloody British idiots.

does feel a bit mad now like , either everyone else is completely overreacting or boris Johnson is wrong. Tough call

 

[Connor]

It will probably bring the Government down.

 

[Lanolin]

Just been in a meeting with somebody who has very recently left a senior government position. Their understanding is that the government won't be announcing a ban on social gatherings, so it may be down to the PL to decide rather than it being taken out of their hands.

The PL won't cancel because that would leave them open to lawsuits. If the government cancel it, then the epl is safe. It really needs boris to do the right thing by the country which is very unlikely

 

[Cels]

The PSG Champions League game was behind closed doors and the fans just gathered outside.

[Archie Knox]

I reckon self isolate the entire team before the Derby, force the issue

It's the right thing to do. Hoping to see a breaking news story tomorrow of Cenk Tosun having come down with the Corona and the whole club has had to go into quarantine as a result.

Yeah I think that's what they've been waiting for. She did say it wasn't guaranteed, but from the conversations she's had she believes school closures/social distancing are not on the immediate agenda.
