Glenn Murray clearly not keen on returning but Ben Shephard and Susannah Reid just keep going on about the morale of the nation

Nothing gets the nation going more than closed door footy matches!

Glenn Murray currently speaking sense for the silent majority of players on BBC breakfast. Gauging from his very negative feelings about resumption I can't
see it happening.

Nothing like Bournemouth vs Southampton, with nothing to gain for either team, to lift my spirits.

At Villa Park

Every ridiculous solution goes against the word integrity.
Every match has to be played within the same agreed rules, regulations, circumstances, etc. Or you punish some teams, assist others by moving the goal posts tarnishing any integrity you had.

I still do not see any fan engagement to ask how we feel about the way forward. That says they know what we would say.

No matter what the clubs, real fans, RS's, Sky, journalists, the auld geezer down the pub all want, the players, club staff and law the of the land will be the deciding factor

Which unfortunately for them all is a bit of a problem.....

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/18/section/44

Basically it states that employees can refuse to work if it is deemed to be unsafe with no fear of loss of wages or position.

easier reading about it here https://section44.co.uk/

So would you risk your life on a football pitch or just refuse to play ?

The old saying 'if a tree falls in falls in a forest and no one is around, does it still make a sound'.
2020 version 'if Brighton and West Ham playout a goalless draw in an empty St. Mary's, does anyone give a shiz?'

At least Sigurdsson hasn't been able to stink the place out for the best part of two months. Look on the bright side and all that.

Well, if I had finished the washing, doing the dishes, ironing my shirts for the week, helping my children doing their work, washing my hair and watching the fence dry.

... the answer is no.

Is toilet paper off back-order yet ?

 

[PITA]

You have 2 problems.

Problem 1, null and void, legal fights from Championship clubs, Sky/BT overseas TV companies keep their money.
Problem 2, finish the season, a few 000 more people die, resources are taken that could be used to save lifes, everybody gets paid

Which solution do you think they will take?

Eventually they'll go with 1 but give the RS the notional title.

There’s only one possible reason to want football to restart.
