Get the bloody game on!

And yet the weight of sports games in the global economy is much less than the rest of the economy (factories, services, shops, transportation etc.)

At least in France not everything will reopen at the same time and for not all areas of the country. Not even all schools will reopen. We're a nation of people who don't like being told what to do, and I'm pretty sure we are the country who is complying with the lockdown rules in the worst way. So the government had to it. (Marseille would have never beat PSG for the title anyway lol)

So really there are other priorities than that. I'm not happy about it, being a rugby player and a huge sports fan myself, but let's have a look at the bigger picture here.
A football/rugby/basketball game still requires a lot of staff to be in a stadium, even when played behind closed doors. It's not just the players.
Let's take the least amount of risks for everybody and it will pay off eventually, I deeply share your frustration though.

Football is very important to the British Economy it generates a lot of tax that goes on stuff like the NHS

As if the police haven’t enough to do than be out for every match right now, they also said it’s likely Liverpool fans would head to the ground if they are given the fake title to celebrate :skull:

Denver 30-04-2020 06:56 PM

You did realise police man games anyway? Also they will be held at a mutual ground

Denver 30-04-2020 06:57 PM

Also I dont know why people make out Liverpool dont deserve the title, you all act like we are sitting in 10th

I do realise this yes but we have a small thing called a pandemic going on and police are not immune from getting ill, so they may already be stretched

You will deserve it the moment you have won it. Fair play, great season, but no one should be handed out anything and most definitely nobody should be getting relegated without a full season having been complete.


Like I’ve said many times. Liverpool being awarded their title is literally one of the least important things to worry about in terms of football In this country right now.

ITV to bring back live studio shows.

The numbers of people at a studio involved in the production of a live show must be similar to that of a Premier League football match.

Look at all the names in the credits of Saturday Night Takeway for instance.

ITV to return to big live studio shows
3 hours ago

ITV has announced that studio shows like Britain's Got Talent and The Masked Singer, are to return, possibly without a live audience.

All major filming ground to a halt last month in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.

But now the station's bosses have said they had "had enough" of entertainment shows broadcast via Zoom, and other video conferencing platforms. "It looks like we will have to do some shows without audiences," they said.

Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's head of entertainment, said: "This whole experience has brought out more creativity in people and the best in people. "We all have to think a bit harder about how we do things."

Are some TV shows better without a studio audience?

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, which is being held online this year, Rawcliffe revealed other big live shows The Voice will also have to "rely on the talent a bit harder, and the edits a bit more."

The audition episodes of Britain's Got Talent were filmed before the coronavirus crisis, and then the live shows were pushed back to later in the year. The channel has already aired an episode of Saturday Night Takeaway without a studio audience - which she said was not ideal but "worked well".

'Good try'

Cameras were set up in the homes of ITV presenters, such as Ant and Dec, Lorraine Kelly, and the Loose Women gang, to help them to broadcast during lockdown. However, Kevin Lygo, director of television at ITV, said it was time to get them back into the studio.

"I've had enough, well done, good try, they are just not what entertainment really is," he said. "Audiences are very forgiving at the moment and gives you a lot of leeway but if it's a big entertainment show, you want it to be a big entertainment show," he went on.


Popular soaps like Coronation Street and Emmerdale could return to screens, with older cast members absent and actors six feet apart, Lygo explained. However, he confirmed the upcoming summer series of ITV2's Love Island - which usually sees young singles couple up in Mallorca in July - is in doubt.

He also spoke about the return of daytime panel talk show Loose Women, which returns to screens on Monday after six weeks off air. Three women, instead of all the panellists, will be in the studio, with one joining via video link when the show returns.

He said that they had explored filming it via video links and that "it just didn't really work".

Portuguese Football could resume end of may, or early June

Premier League clubs are now discussing completing the season, but without relegation.


I honestly don’t see what the bloody point is. If you don’t want to relegate anyone in this climate then just cancel the plan of finishing the season. Give Liverpool their title if need be to avoid their meltdown and just be done with it.

Denver 03-05-2020 08:38 PM

Leeds and West Brom should be promoted
