Sounds like Gordon has been heading too many footballs now

What a load of bollocks. 
 

The way this is going, I hope it gets curtailed. There’s more integrity in that than the nonsense going on. 
 

What’s next, quarters of 22.5mins so players can wash their hands?

 These early complaints are trying to get it sorted before they go down that route.  I didn’t envisage the broadcasters trying to rule out relegation but it’s obvious when you look at it.  It’s another twist with plenty more to come.

 

The broadcasters are saying the opposite, aren't they?

10 subs? 25 minute halfs, jumpers for goalposts, is'unt it. draws settled by next goal wins. sounds like games down the park in the summer when you were kids. If your teams loosing can you storm off with the ball and say you late home for tea?

[Scott_M]

Parry getting stuck in. 
 

If only he showed this balls in transfer negotiations, stadium redevelop, selling the club etc etc etc.

I'll be the one to thrown my head into the tackle.

 

I think Taylor is right to explore every single possibility.  I think 5 subs in a game would be good if there are issues with getting a "pre-season" in before the PL starts.  

 

The shorted halfs sounds a bit daft, but if it was shown that a 40 minute half helped in some way, then its at least worth bringing it up for discussion.  

 

Everything should be explored as this is going to be with us well into next season, and possibly for years.

Particularily like the jumpers for goalsposts and the obligatory "It went in!" "No it didn't!" "Yes it did!".

 

Think you forgot 3 corners=1 goal though

 

Those were the days...

You never played that? You get 3 corners and it counts as one goal. Apart from jumpers as goalposts best rule ever.

Never heard of it, do the 3 corners need to be won consecutively or over the course of the the game?

Seen on bbc sport that club doctors are now saying they should void it for safety. So basically relegation threatened sides ore now using their medical staff to put pressure on to help their greed. Yet it’s Liverpool who have zero morals for wanting the title whilst 25 points clear at the top.

Not having that at all , the smaller clubs are just as important as the rest of us - there's plenty of money knocking around in top flight football

At the moment. Are the smaller clubs close to relegation thinking about teams in the Championship when asking for no relegation or looking after themselves on huge tv deals. It could be Cockerel eat Canary soon.

But the government experts are going to say it’s safe...

The RS Illuminati. But instead of an eye, it’s an asterisk.

I hear a lot about people being bothered at the asterisk,why?

For the sake of argument let's say the clubs were faced with one of two options:

 

1. Finish the season

2. Let the season count with ppg awarded for the games that couldn't be played. 3 teams relegated.

 

From the bottom 6 teams: Could it possibly be a 3-3 vote?

Over the course of the game. Every third corner counted as a goal.

One time we allowed play to go on behind the imaginary touchline. One guy passed the ball just over the goal line but from the wrong end. A teammate pushed it back over the line from the right side and claimed a goal. Surely that was not a legitimate pass. One guy accused another of cheating, and it all escalated into a group fight. Result: Next time no play was allowed behind the touch line and 3 corners = 1 goal. Worked perfectly.

New level of desperation on Twitter to stop the reds getting their hands on that tainted title .

Apparently PSG were awarded the title as it was already written into French law to award a team the title in the event of a curtailed season so it won’t happen over here.....Surprised no journalist picked this matter up over the weekend 

I do hope it’s a Liverpool fan who started it just to wind them up .

Id be amazed if that was written into French law or even into their League rules. While people think these 'curtailment rules' should have been present already, it takes unforeseen exceptional circumstances, like a World War or this virus, to even think about ending a campaign early.

 

It is such a 'what if' situation never mind whether it happens after 5, 10, 15 or 20 league games, as to be beyond contemplation.

[Funkasy]

I like that you can do 5 subs (2 that can only be made at halftime).

Nah, you really cannot go down the idea of tinkering with the game like that (40 minute halves). Once you start that then the integrity of the game really does get challenged inmy opinion.

 

People may say the same about 5 subs but subs are an integral part of football now and have beensince about 1965. In a cup competition, a 4th sub can be used now if the game goes to added time so the use of 5 in these times isnt radical. Also, the proposal for 5 subs is a team only has 3 windows during the game to make the changes. That means at least two subs would have to be made at the same time if the manager wanted to use all 5.
