I’m actually gutted that we won’t get the chance to win every home game. The shite we had left to play, we’d have done that.

The Premier League have been told they could allow teams to use five substitutes, if the season restarts.

And the league has also been given the go-ahead to stop using VAR, for the remainder of the campaign, but the ECHO understands the 20 clubs have yet to indicate they want to complete the remaining games without it.

IFAB, the International Football Association Board who decide on the laws of the game, have today confirmed they would allow significant changes to the current seasons and the Premier League will discuss both potential rule changes at Monday's meeting.

VAR can "cease", IFAB, have today while five subs will be allowed but switches will still only be permitted at three times during a game.

 

The 5 subs change is a practical response to a problem of not having fully fit players coming into a resumed season. Having the possibility of VAR being removed for the remainder of the season could be a step too far, in the respect that it's basically inviting the possibility of a legal challenge by one or more clubs, which could end up voiding the season after all, because of the fundamental rule changes part way through the season. It may not happen like that, but it's a slippery slope to be changing rules after the season has started.

Something like this, change the RHCP with Liverpool FC Champions 19/20.

Anyhoo, whats the latest today? Who's moaning about matches going back to playing with white balls or that the grass at some grounds have been cut in different patterns?

Barney Ronay in the Guardian. Reading through his usual word salad, it's ridiculous to even think of playing matches in June/ July, 'cos everything will be magically fine come August for a fresh start.

The guardian set out their position early doors.  Now it looks like they aren’t getting what they wanted they’re going full tabloid style shite articles.  It’s almost like their political editor is in charge of the football now as well

[TheDrowningMan]

Watford confirmed as another club capitalising on the deaths they’ve been desperately craving since it became clear they’d struggle to avoid relegation, with nonsensical statements about how neutral grounds would only be fair if the season started with them. So they’ll obviously be looking for cancellation; it’s fine to restart as long as we get our way is the new gambit.

Quote

When at least six clubs — and I suspect more — are concerned about the clear downside and the devastating effects of playing in this kind of distorted nine-game mini-league, then I believe the Premier League has a duty of care to address those concerns," Duxbury wrote.

If we start and finish a whole season under these conditions and at neutral venues when everybody knows the rules when we start, not created in a time of crisis, then that is clearly fair. To be asked to finish a quarter of the season under new rules and conditions is an entirely different proposition.

In the full statement he’s constantly mentioning us - almost seems like a threat.

We need that riff-raff free Super League if these clubs succeed in their mission. A closed club with only the best involved - yes, it means that clubs like Watford won’t survive, but their supporters can pick a new club from the elite. It would be pathetic for said fans to cry over the spilt milk of their club not making it, because clearly there are more important things in the world right now.

Ronay's another fucking cock with his head up his arse. He's another cretin who thinks it's not ok or safe for super fit young athletes to train and play now but it's perfectly ok to have pre season training for the 2020 / 21 season in July and start the next season in August. Presumably in stadiums packed with fans as well?

 

It is just another day of the repeating same old, same old. The continual shouts of 'only Liverpool want a re start' bullshit. It's been repeated so many times now, it is probably only Liverpool fans who know it isnt the truth.

The Watford Twat has exposed that it really means “avoid relegation” or “stop Liverpool”, depending on your perspective. Ergo, it would be a horrible distortion to complete this season at neutral grounds but fine and dandy as long as it starts that way.

[No2]

Another option is let the bottom 10 play their games at home and use their stadiums as the neutral ones when they're away. Obviously they will gain from this so sign off of finishing position pay outs based on where everyone is now. The real benefits aren't in the extra couple of million per position but European  qualification and avoiding relegation. Call the cunts bluff.

[Leyton388]

Simple solution. Relegate Villa, Brighton and Watford and withhold any parachute payments. 

[Guest Alex_K]

Any bottom 10 dissenters should be grateful they are even allowed to ride the coat-tails of ourselves and United to financial paradise - the league is nothing without a handful of clubs. Bomb them out.

[dockers_strike]

Couldnt make it up, Newcastle fan in the daily manc saying let's cancel the season so we can have a good laugh at Liverpool. Obviously he's laughed himself out laughing at his own joke of a club.

 

Im only surprised he didnt throw in the 'saving lives' bit as well but, even he probably saw that as hypocrisy too far considering the potential owners of his club chop people up and dispose of the evidence in bin bags without a second thought.

With Jurgen 'Jeremy Corbyn' Klopp as manager, that's hardly a surprise

A supporter of a club that hasn't won a trophy of any kind for over 50 years! Soft cunt should boiled in his own bile!

Also burden them with additional responsibilities - I certainly think it would be fair for a point to be deducted for every fan who turns up outside their own stadium. They’re playing at home so they should have to own ensuring no-one gathers.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The bottom clubs home advantage didn't do much for them for 75 percent of the season so far. They suddenly gonna be better than the teams above them now their home stadiums are magic. 

 

Play or don't, you forfeit the points. Fans dare to give us abuse when we are the one side not trying to profit from corona virus.

[JohnnyH]

Players and fans in the UK can bleat on all they want.  What will decide whether or not this season is finished on a football pitch or in a courtroom is how the German league goes. If that goes well, and they treat their first C-19 positive tests when football is back with common sense, then England will finish its league. If the Germans don’t get it right, then England will end their league.

Exactly. Rubble Rouser made a great point last week on here that the club have kept their council quiet about it all. Try pointing that out to any other cunts though. 

 

"The club have kept quiet about it and in-fact the last communication was Klopp literally saying the words This is far more important that football" 

 

"You lot only care about the trophy you don't care about anything or anyone but yourselves"

 

"Based on what? What shred of evidence do you have to suggest such a ridiculous thing?"

 

"Murderers" 

[Scott_M]

The club & SOS, like they did with Joe Anderson, should be coming out & telling Watford to go fuck themselves.

[Scott_M]

Jesus wept...

 

 

Disinfecting corner flags and goal posts is only a 10 minute job. Get a bucket of water with bleach (or whatever) and clean the equipment with them. 
 

Why even mention it?
 

Funny how none of the other leagues have had to talk about disinfecting the grass. WHU’s grounds man should somehow store all the shite that comes out her mouth and use it to fertilise the pitch, that would kill it.

 

Her comments obviously ignore any player playing on the pitch would have to have had a negative test prior to the game anyway...

I bet she doesnt disinfect anything she picks up while shopping and takes home. Wonder if she squats over the bog seat when she needs a piss or a shit and at her offices? Fucking ludicrous if that quote is from her. No wonder Lanzini is shitting his pants if he's has to listen to her bullshit every day.

[Bjornebye]

I'd she her, no doubt about it but it would be the most violent fuck in history. I doubt I'd even spunk. I'd probably push her aside and have a walk over Nigella Lawson cooking a courgette. Just to really piss her off. Im sure she's gutted just thinking about it.
