As dim as that stupid Alison Pearson tweeting the other day claiming that 'made in China' should be a badge of shame when this is over but neglected to note the tweet was sent from her chinese manufactured iphone!!!

And look how economically damaging that has been for both countries!

It is hard to register a protest at the possibility of a Div 1 footballers wages being reduced to 5k a week whilst he's got his feet up. I'm trying but it's just not working.
It's a LOT harder to boycott Chinese goods given that many Western companies use them for manufacturing.
Anyway, we live in a different world now where price often comes before principles.

That sounds like madness. EUFA seem to be working against football with that stance.

Yep, the big clubs will just set up their own mini super league.

Wait for the first footballer to die (hopefully not), then UEFA's stance may change. Quite frankly football has shown itself to be so out of touch with reality and the common man that it beggars belief...

The Swedish football federation has recently announced that practice games are to be allowed with certain restrictions. No more than 50 people to be on or around the pitch. All players must be healthy and should preferably change into and out of their kit at home (!). Players are not allowed to share water bottles and disinfectant needs to be available.

What a bunch of utter w*****s UEFA (and, while we're here, the PL too).
Clueless in gauging the public mood, the "up our own ar&es" attitude and the sheer arrogance.
Yes, I was initially thinking about UEFA's lack of leadership. I forgot to factor in their innate selfishness - guess they'll put all considerations of national leagues and cups aside as long as they can get the Champions League completed!

a couple of major leaugues decide to make their own arrangments, say UK and Italy, UEFA will backtrack. and at present its outside football authorities control with political decisions on when lockdowns and events can commence.
Quite
Even 1 of the big 5 leagues and they will change their minds
CL without Barca or Real?
Won’t happen
If it does it’s bye bye UEFA and hello rival cup
Be the beginning of the end of internationals as well
UEFA - wow! Even by their standards that is low.
Their moral vacuum aside for one moment, at a time when they’re already petrified of the big clubs breaking away, that seems like an incredibly stupid stance to take.

These people are insane. Have they not spotted that other major sporting events scheduled for July/August have already been cancelled (Wimbledon, Olympics, British Open Golf, etc), with most others due for the chop soon. Have they not understood that social distancing of some sort will HAVE to continue until a vaccine is found. Do these people not even read a newspaper??!!

Sweden haven't closed schools or restaurants yet have they? They're on a different strategy to everyone.
