No the discussion what his point not the headline. If you bothered to find out what his point was...
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th
- Thread starter Tarrou
- Start date
His mother lives in his house by the way
Okay. So you mentioned genetic differences...what possible genetic differences between BAME and white people do you think could cause the disproportionate deaths from the virus?
Oh without a doubt. This is going to be so messy legally, and clubs are going to be kicking up a huge fuss no matter what is decided. Pretty sure Plymouth Argyle are already readying their legal case against the EFL inevitably cancelling their season.
On the plus side, Sky could always get the TV rights for these court cases - sure fans will be willing to follow this more than a match between Norwich and Aston Villa with chance of relegation having been taken off the table
The judge holds John Terry in contempt of court for pissing in Daniel Farke's Coke can. Sounds great, I'm in!
Ive said plenty of times I have no idea what causes the difference. Which was the point
Not just Liverpool fans who think there might be foul play so that Brighton aren't able to complete the season and avoid relegation. Very odd for 3 senior players to contract it when they should be isolating separately and the club is actively fighting for the season to restart. I'm not bothered about the title element of the argument.
I just think it's a bit petty tbh. Of course he is Man. United player so you can do what you like with him.
Man. United have behaved very well throughout this crisis imo compared to a few clubs so would seem odd to me to recall someone just so you have a better chance of 5th (let's remember it's Chelsea in 4th you need to catch) especially as we don't know what will happen with Man. City's appeal or even if european football will happen next season (I'd say not).
Also before the break your defence had really improved. Clean sheets v Chelsea and Man. City so wouldn't suggest it was a huge problem even with De Gea past his peak.
BCD will be bigger factor in odd results when play is resumed, more so than recalling loan players.

Are you drunk ?
Letting him stay there just seems stupid. Imagine if he gets the virus while playing/training for Sheffield United and it results in any kind of long term complication (there are indications of lung damage, which are devastating for an athlete) - what do we get out of it? Will Sheffield Utd reimburse us for the loss then, considering he's worth 30-40m in the current transfer market?
Personally I think all loans should be voided at this time.
My guess would be that there are insurance clauses in his loan contract which cover any injury/illness which ends his career. No consolation to him or Utd fans of course, the lad is excellent and could be your keeper for the next 10 years.
Brighton don't have 3 players newly tested positive with the virus . 2 tested positive earlier in the pandemic while this one new case has happened . It's just the way it's been reported
The Henderson situation is irrelevant.. the league is not starting again.
Are you sure?
I don’t think there’ll be any football in the UK for the rest of this calendar year.
The way the UK govt are managing the pandemic you could be forgiven for thinking that they are trying their best to reduce the possibility of a second wave by just sustaining the first wave.
I would agree with this. People are getting excited because the German league is restarting yet Germany and the UK are miles apart on the affects of the virus .
I'd be looking to see what Italy do because thats a more likely timeframe to follow for the UK
I think they'll be some football in August/September. Have to hope by then new cases and deaths are very low so circumstances will be a little better now than they are now. Whether that's the old season or new season I don't know. However once we get to November I can see more disruption purely with winter starting.
Will all be behind closed doors in any case.
Well this is the same government that openly suggested herd immunity as an option initially, with a Prime Minister who boasted about shaking hands with people who had the virus.
I can’t see it coming back whilst there’s a risk of players getting it. No professional athlete wants to risk their career like that. Imagine a 20 year old catches it and gets lung damage which ruins his career.
Wed be idiots not to do it if the longterm plan is to have him as our no.1
Around four weeks, I'd say. No football for the rest of the year is absurd.
The FAs in Spain, Italy and England are working intensely on coming up with a plan to restart their leagues. You could be forgiven for dismissing Germany's efforts in the beginning because they were the first, even though the league had been openly briefing everyone for a while. But to still to be claiming there will be no football for the foreseeable future is bordering on wilful ignorance at this point. And do not confuse the question of whether or not the league will continue with whether it is (morally) right to do so or not. This is what the discussion with regards to Germany seems to have shifted to now that everyone has realised the Bundesliga is indeed continuing next weekend.
Which then effects the squad a team can pick from and its not comparable to picking up an injury
How would you propose a wind up to the league then out of interest
Agreed. Giving Liverpool the title after completing 2/3s of the season isn't fair if they've not won it mathmatically but what would be worse is awarding them the title and not relegating or promoting teams (and vice versa). You either do all or none.
Yep and incredibly the last time I looked his and the govt's ratings are very high. A compliant media has helped them turn the second highest death toll and the fourth highest death rate into a "success" story.
If they want zero risk, then that means a vaccine or a full proof treatment, both those two could be far in future, or may never happen, so there won't be a career to protect for lots of them.
Unless they are happy to find other careers then at some point they are going to have to get on with things, some risks attached, but risks that will have way more levels of protection built in than the average person who is about to be asked to return to work will ever have.
4 weeks ? Germany have dealt with the virus way better than the UK or Italy that's why they can even think about football . The UK are around 4 weeks behind Italy and i can't see any football being played in Italy in the next 4 weeks .
So it could be at least 8 weeks before any football could even be possibly thought about in the UK.
@Klopper76 Remember your miranda rights. In my opinion you shouldn't answer that question. Its a trap.
Beach balls are still a sore point for them lets not forget.
The new stuff is great but hard to beat an old classic. Honestly though I don't know a Liverpool fan who doesn't think the beach ball incident is hilarious. It must be the whackiest goal in Prem history - imagine it had been in a game with the title or relegation at stake!
How do you know it would piss him off?
Thats an assumption on your part, though we should extend his loan if the league does continue its the right thing to do.
But theres a lot at stake if CL places are still a factor so i could see us not extending his loan from a business point of view.
And that is a microcosm that shows how the integrity of the league season will be out the window if it gets resumed after June.
Is that allowed with VAR do we think?
I'm not sure. Is there now a rule for foreign objects on the pitch contributing to a goal? There must not have been at that time anyway, or at least it wasn't applied.
haha, we’re discussing separate things bud.
As far as I know, UEFA has actually extended all the contracts until the end of season automatically. Which means Henderson case is not in our hands anymore.
At the time i knew a few who were livid. But yeah since then i haven't heard any not see the funny side of it.
I doubt UEFA have the power to unilaterally decide to extend thousands of players contracts without the clubs and players agreement.
Just been reported that we may struggle to keep Ighalo as his parent club want him back in time for the new Chinese league to start.
Not sure what to make of this as I really like the guy but don’t want us spending over £20 million on him.
Would put us in a difficult situation if true.
Anybody know when Sanchez is back?

It wasn't UEFA, it was actually FIFA.

While it says it was proposed, it is also mentioned that the proposals have been made with the agreement of major stakeholders. And it actually makes sense that contracts are running until the end of season.

Neither of the options available eliminate the virus as an issue so I don’t think it matters. Even if they award us the title it won’t be a proper title win.
