No it wasn't. He told us that games were being played behind closed doors. That turned out to be complete and utter bullshit.

He now says they'll all be called off. He may be right, but it's hardly a Nostradamus standard prediction.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Nothing wrong with me. I just have a problem with saddos who are so desperate for attention, they resort to posting falsehoods on a message board, and then, even more strangely, people like you who condone it.

Scotland advising to cancel all events which have over 500 people in attendance - this isn't to say the same will be in England
That'll only affect about 4 teams in the Premiership then if it's over 500 :lol:

I am assuming that by Armageddon you mean some sort of collapse of society or end of the world situation. I don't think that the virus will be that bad!

There is likely to be a vaccine early next year. I am hoping that one will be developed earlier. Also, as more people recover from the virus there will be an increasing number of people who become naturally immune.

However, it is looking likely that the virus is going to make the concluding of this football season difficult. It is also still likely to be causing disruption next season. I don't think that anyone knows how bad it will be at the start of next season. There are a lot of factors at work but I am not currently thinking that there will be a normal football season next season.

It would be good if the club would make some sort of announcement. E.G. to say that fans will be refunded if the season is disrupted or that the season ticket will be valid for the following season.

To be fair I would be happy for the club to take the money this season. It’s budgeted for the money. And we’ve budgeted for spending it. And in reality we will save money by not going on.

But there should be some give and take from the club. And to be fair they should plan for such an event that everyone suddenly stops paying.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is now a confirmed case. Only a matter of time now before all football is stopped.

Harry Garlick foretold this. 100% certain that if the game was going ahead fans will not be allowed to travel. Also I can confirm at least one fan has had a refund accepted due to coronavirus fears.

Can see it all just getting suspended for a month or two even...........no doubt some clubs will try to use it as an excuse just to abandon it (avoid relegation!) but now not the time to play those cards.

Cancel the euros but finish our season may/June.

But that goes against all predictions and expectations. If there is a lock down now then it would be likely to last for about 4 months. That's why they are loathe to close schools now or in the near future. I think that they are hoping to get up to the Easter holidays with schools before reviewing, since closing schools now takes us up to the summer break, so at the earliest they would reopen in September. I don't see how football would be any different. When football shutdown for the 2nd World War it remained shut down for the duration. So I can't see how this would be any different. You couldn't logically announce a restart date "mid-virus" in say May in the hope of completing the season.
IMO they can only either carry on or abandon. They can't just announce a "break" of a few weeks. Scientifically there's nothing to suggest that a short break would be effective, and logistically you can't suddenly re-schedule a large number of fixtures at short notice and play them before next season.
As to the answer, well I really don't know.
