Exclusive: Uefa consider staging Euro 2020

Uefa will consider moving Euro 2020 to December in a bid to allow the Premier League and other club competitions to catch up this summer following the unprecedented sporting chaos caused by coronavirus.

I would be buggered on two counts: flights for Azerbaijan paid for in order to see the two games there in June and flights to Argentina paid for in December.

Well that would be an utter pile of shit for you then. I still think that next year is more likely though, preferable really

Hmmm, some scientists claim that if we defeat the virus before the summer, it will be back in the winter.

But, this season has to finish. I find it perplexing that the FA are talking about ending the season and adding 2 teams to the Premier League - just so that next season can start. It makes more sense to postpone next season than cancel 7 months of inconclusive fixtures.

People seem fixated on Liverpool having won the league - which they have. But how about in Spain - 2 points separate the top 2. Also, try telling Man U, Wolves and Sheff U that they won't be allowed to finish above Chelsea.

If next season starts before this season finishes, then it essentially tells me that the TV money is the most important thing of all.

People may point out how World war 2 wiped out the 1939/40 season - but that was 6 years (God help us if this is 6 years) and the season was only 3 games old.

No to behind closed doors games.
No to season ending unfinished
No to playing football until active cases are in obvious decline.

Are they still intent on holding it across the entire continent, or will they use common sense and give the tournament to England to host?

That is on top of my aborted (but largely paid for) trip to see two games in Italy that were called off and my trip to Ireland in two weeks' time to see Carlos Santana, who just cancelled his tour.

Ah shit, sorry to hear that, that's a load of bad luck there.

Thanks but my predicament is just meaningful fluff in the great scheme of things. A lot of people and businesses will seriously suffer in the coming months and there are ongoing fatalities too, of course.

Of course, I just didn't know how to add that to my post without it sounding like I was telling you to stop moaning when I wasn't

Re: Coronavirus update

That's been commonly assumed for a while hasn't it?

There is also a theory that it didn't originate in the wet market.

You were being pleasant and I meant 'meaningless' anyway

Thank you for the video regardless. It looks like the sort of thing used for a "save the x" animal charity advert. I know it's different cultures etc. but there doesn't seem to be much concern for the animals or how much might be wasted at all.

Re: Coronavirus update

Gullible cretins around social media will share bollocks like this, unfortunately.

You know what? I have a hypothesis that the Covid-19 pandemic will bring something of a return to trust in science & experts, and a lessening of the trend towards believing Jim Corr / antivaxxers & the like. Maybe it'll be temporary.

Re: Coronavirus update

Looks like they are planning to isolate the over 70’s for a few months. Seems a very good idea but it’s going to be very hard for the ones I know as they won’t be able to physically see their grandkids. If they could somehow get tests out for everyone else we can all crack on as best we can....,

Mine is 87 and going to find it tough not seeing them as it’s one of few pleasures she has, same for my wife’s olds, only 70 but both have COPD. very hard for these two as they see them a few times a week and have them stay over.
