Coronavirus could prevent Liverpool from winning the Premier League title

Closed doors or not, if we beat Palace we’ll all be down on St George’s Plateau until the early hours.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

If games are to be played behind closed doors I await the first club to whine about the outcome of a result which plunges them deeper into a relegation fight/ further away from play offs.

Surely gather lack of the crowd booing is an advantage for the bitters?

A mate of mine has a Sports degree, he reckons we’ve had trouble getting hold of the PEDS on account of the Coronavirus, but they are supposed to be arriving at Melwood on Monday morning via DHL, just enough time to pop them and increase their stamina and muscle for Monday night.

The current Coronavirus rate in Wales is low, maybe fans will not risk it for the Derby.

517 people infected in Denmark and the goverment have shut the country down for two weeks from friday. All schools and goverment employed people, only emergency staff at hospital are sentenced to work. The rest gets a two week holiday. Guess my wife have to work, not sure yet. 

[Anubis]

Now finish them.

 

Edit: That probably sounded harsh but was meant to be after Bobby’s goal in the match thread.

[Herp McDerp]

We need to get league wrapped up ASAP.

[No2]

We need COVID-19 to help us retain the Champions League.

[suzy]

After tonight they’d better not take this title off us!

Can’t see CL being completed at all this season. It’s going to be touch and go domestically but with the Juventus and Inter players being in isolation it’s not going to get any better soon. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The Times are apparently reporting that games will be going behind closed doors once the UK hits 500 confirmed cases, which is likely to be hit tomorrow. 

 

A behind closed doors Goodison derby then?

If domestic leagues are stretched out until June / July, I’m sure the CL can be accommodated.

It’s infinitely better than the absurd idea of voiding the season. I wonder what would happen if a club’s players got infected though? I know Arsenal postponed because some of their players had to self-isolate, but there’s only so far you could stretch that sort of thing. Once it goes behind closed doors, I think the only reasonable solution would be to count games during the periods unavailability as 3-0 walkovers for the opposition.

They’ve hired Dame Judy and Rocky to add background voices.

 

You are all from Norway, Norway is say. I played Juliette in Bergen and the place was full of Liverpool jerseys!

Free streams for ticket holders once it's behind closed doors? Right now they should be making all the decrypted channels free for everyone and televising every premiership game.

Banned from being shown in pubs. The Brick stand to lose a fortune.

Watched PSG  Dortmund match was a viewing disaster. Don't ask me what the quality of football was like it felt like an u18 match.

From what the government were saying yesterday, it doesn’t sound like it could “start as early as today”

Sounds arbitrary. 

Why close down sport (effectively) but leave open schools, London Underground etc?   There should have to be serious justification for playing behind closed doors, football especially is nothing without supporters.  Guardiola is full of shit but he's right when he says it's more appropriate to suspend the season, the european leagues and Uefa  need to be coming together to decide on a plan if governments decide matches should be played behind closed doors.

I'd love to see how they're going to police that no pubs thing.

Not show games in pubs and if necessary put in place licensing laws that prohibit sales of drinks during game time
