    Not thick, just that they all think they are the “ special ones”.
    How can someone earning a fortune be classed as thick . Or is it their employers that are thick?
    The “ special ones” won’t feel so special in an empty stadium.
    My heart bleeds.

    Well he's certainly not a contender for The Brain of Britain or in his case Berlin by filming and posting that video.Just yet another attention seeking **** who think they're above the rules and regulations that other mere mortals have to observe.

    Indeed.
    Don’t forget some folk live in a different world to us.
    Their main aim in life is to get a round synthetic leather ball across a line.
    Nothing else matters.
    Just pay up to see them do it live,or on tv. They’re not fussed.

    Football matches should be free on Auntie Beeb, and advertising should pay for coverage on commercial channels.
    The public have had the choice of watching football and other sports taken away from them, to enrich just a few.
    Pundits🙄, still trying to perform, but in a different setting.
    They take up two hours talking about things that aren’t even relevant to the game.
    How much a player has been bought for, or how much he’s on a week. Zzzzz.
    They give their opinion as if it means anything to the general public.( not needed, surplus to requirements)
    Going over what you’ve just seen, post match. I mean, ffs, we’ve just seen it.
    Playing with their technology, “ Ooo, I just love f ecking gadgets!)

    Ripped him a new one. First saw that a couple of years back. Great video!

    All the above measures are to be put in place to allow training to resume and the 75 minute sessions will still leave the players plenty of time to arrange a party with a few call girls...

    Tackling was banned years ago. No change there.
    Do they each have their own showers? ( with gold knobs )otherwise it’s going to be similar to a supermarket queue, only more stinky.
    Do the showers need to be disinfected between usage?
    Is the disinfectant used on the pitches environmentally friendly?
    Taking a bit of a risk not disinfecting the ball after each touch?
    Kissing and hugging isn’t allowed? Bring in the union on that one.
    Although some are skillful , they would need to be, to socialize with a call girl from two meters.
    If they ever restart, maybe just family and friends in the stadiums,for that celebration after tapping in from six inches.
    Can’t wait,stay alert.

    Don't try and tell me that the leagues want a resumption of football as some sort of boost to good morale in each country,when it's all about the money as per usual. A few views from different people seem to agree. MONEY MONEY MONEY.

    So who gives a flying f..k about the DFL?
    The vast majority around the world are going to be worse off for the foreseeable, perhaps years.
    The virus will play second fiddle to commerce, that’s a no brainer.
    Why do the DFL need the money? Are there folks involved with professional football that are skint?
    It seems odd for folks , especially on social media, to ask when this pandemic will end.
    It’s highly likely that it’s something folks will have to learn to live with.
    The biggest issue is with large groups of people, which has been the case from the start.
    So the DFL think crowds are going to be allowed to return next season? Or this is a near term cash grab?
    I’d be more interested on plans for next season.
    If crowds are still not allowed, and that’s quite likely imo, then it could be a case of tearing up all contracts, and one for the lawyers.
    Haven’t heard from FIFA? Is there anyone at home?
    Should be, isolating.
    Stay Alert.

    Watched the football over the weekend, it was weird without the crowds, better than **** Adams I suppose.
    I also watched a rerun of Scotland v Brazil game from the 1974 World Cup, I've never seen so many fouls and it was the Brazilians that were the culprits, strange times.

    Winning the physical battle was priority in my day.

    So it's been decided that football without the fans will be resuming again on June 17th,now there's talk of some games being switched to neutral grounds.How is that a level playing field for every club involved ? If the season can't be restarted and concluded on the same basis for each club,then it shouldn't be restarted.Who decides which games should be switched and for what reason ? This is not about Liverpool winning the league as they're so far ahead it won't make any difference,this is about the 8 teams still going for European places and the 8 teams who could get dragged in to a relegation scrap.Surely all those scenarios have got to be considered before decisions are made.

    Normally the return of sport would be enough to send me dancing around like a total lunatic, yet strangely I find I'm ambivalent.

    Maybe like with so many things since lockdown began I've simply got out of the habit of watching, or, maybe I've realised that on my list of things that are really important to me, football just doesn't make it.

    Football without fans!. Well it may be means to an end, But as Sky have already written and told me that my Subscription is going back to full price from 17/6 I think that's your answer to the disgusting rush to resume.

    Please don't think I'm anti football or anti sport. I'm not. I've travelled all over England and parts of Europe ( how the heck Israel is in Europe baffles me) following Stoke and I travel 200 mile round trips to see my beloved Castleford play at home, Also when funds permit Assen, Catalunya and Jerez are regular forays for Moto GP.

    There's the rub. All those occasions are as much about the camaraderie, as the actual event and for me the rush to create fanless events just leaves a nasty taste.
