Coronavirus and the impact on football

[teesred]

On Friday 13th, Covid-19 put the brakes on our challenge for number 19.

I hate it but accept it grudgingly. As long as we still win it I'll be content. If for any reason we're denied it, I'll be reconsidering my relationship with the beautiful game.

Exactly how I feel. I'm really worried by this but the more you think about it they surely can not void a season. It would make more sense to void next season than this one which is 75 percent done.
I wont lie this will keep me awake at night.
Schools will close next week I think, nailed on.

SPL games still going ahead.

It could only happen to us, couldnt it.

08/09 - Man U go on one of their best ever runs to pip us to the title
13/14 - Gerrard's slip hands the title to City
18/19 - 97pts and City winning their remaining 14 games.
19/20 - Covid19!?

To be fair it's probabaly the right thing to do.

I think they will scrap the Euro's this year and play them next year. And extend the season into the summer. Fingers crossed!

Just looking at what happened when World War 2 kicked off, that was early enough in the season but who knows what reigning champions Everton could have gone on to achieve had Mr Hitler not disrupted the beautiful game.

No club knows more than Liverpool that life is more important than death. Plenty of time to play these games. A thousand people lost their lives so far in Italy

Very well put fiordearg and I agree 100%

They should've have stopped all games last weekend. There should have been no European fixtures this week. It's crazy that fans got to travel across borders when there's "containment" and "delay" measures.

I think the Euro will be postponed. The regular season will be completed albeit late.

Haven't seen any sign yet of Wales v Scotland six nations rugby match being postponed!

Just thinking if the league restarts in April sometime. will the fixtures that all ready in place go ahead and the Everton/Palace get placed some place else?? Would be great to have already won the league before we play Everton.I personally don't care how long it takes. all summer as long as the league gets finished
