Swissh:
Then declare the season null and void which means everyone would be impacted equally.

So I saw this.


The rules of the Premier League state that positions are decided at the end of a season, and that in a season each team plays all the others twice. There is a contingency for the FA to extend a season beyond 1 June at its discretion in extraordinary circumstances. There is no contingency stated for a season to be deemed to be completed before all the required matches are played. I can't see any way that final positions can be allocated before 38 matches each, under the rules that all the teams signed up to. So that means it's either cancelled or they finish it behind close doors

A40:
Guy I've literally seen games abandoned and continued from where they stopped the next day. Stop arguing for argument's sake. It is operational in Spain and Italy already

You are really strong headed. I am telling you that FIFA don't have a distinct rule about abandoned matches that it's left to the organizers (Epl,la liga, Uefa etc) to decide what to do.

Swissh:
For the umpteenth time if the league is cancelled there is no ranking so no first or last. You can't just say Liverpool won the title and the rest of the league doesn't get ranked. If Liverpool is first then there is a 2nd and a last. How can a cancelled league get first position.

There is no way to resolve the situation that ensures satisfaction for all clubs involved. The only fair way is for the season to be concluded one way or another.

A40:
You're speaking for England I'm talking of the rest of Europe

Their is no separate law for England and the rest of Europe.

BlueAngel444:
so what I said still counts

Yes we are all correct.

A40:
I'm telling you that once the game gets past a certain point they restart from there. I don't know how it works in England but for the rest of Europe ain't nobody starting afresh

And I am telling you their is no set in stone law about abandoned matches. The decision is left entirely in the hands of the competition body.

BlueAngel444:
so what do they do?

”…any League Match which from any cause whatever falls short of 90 (ninety) minutes’ duration may be ordered to count as a completed fixture or be replayed in full or in part on whatever terms and conditions the Board shall in their absolute discretion determine and shall be played in compliance with these Regulations and the Football Association Rules.

BlueAngel444:
at 10mins is different from where more than 50% of allocated time is gone.

In match you round up forward when it is more than 50% and backwards when it is less
it's a human logic

In England a match that ends before 90mins is a rule breach. Even if it's 85mins the match was abandoned then a rule has been breached.

A40:
False. In Spain and Italy for example you continue from where you stopped

Their is no set down law as it varies from competition to competition. The league body decides what to do and even at that it can be appealed if they get the decision wrong . In England the premier league board decides the outcome of an abandoned match.

A40:
Which rulebook did you see that one?

You start an abandoned match from default. Could be wrong tho.

BlueAngel444:
of course.


Don't you think so many teams would have won games if they had that one or two extra minutes but it's where the game ends it ends.

But if the scores where say 2-1 then it may be debatable but in fact at that time Arsenal is leading and as one hand on the trophy simple.

No it's not. So in the scenario if the bomb happens at minute 10 with a team leading 1:0 they will be crowned champions? No my friend it doesn't work that way.

Swissh:
Imagine a champions league final between Arsenal and Barca with us leading 3:0 at halftime and then they was bomb blast so the game had to be abandoned. Will arsenal be crowned champions?

The match will be fixed for a later date and the scores back to 0:0.

So Cats and Dogs can't contract convid-19 but Humans can. Are we not both animals damn.

BlueMann:
Premier Leaue FA to hold Emergency meeting today.
Seems one of the options they're rumoured to be considering is "voiding the season". As in,ending the season as it is. Liverpool will be champions,while if City's ban holds,then Liverool, Leicester, Chelsea and Man.United will make UCL next season.
Similar to what the German Football body are considering as well. End the season after GW26,those who are in the CL and EL positions will qualify for the respective competitions, BUT there will be no champion,and no relegated teams.

It can't be possible. There is no option other than shifting the euros to next year and completing the regular seaons.

Jodera:
To be sincere, I don't see how defence would have stopped that....

Gomez for no reason considering the midfield were right there, decided that he was going to gravitate towards the ball leaving llorente completely unmarked and Arnold completely switched off just jogging to cover the unmarked Llorente. If they were alert immediately Adrian made the pass they would have done something.

Jodera:
Lol...
Bros, how many touches did it take from Felix boot to the back of the net?

The defence could easily have stopped that. It was not a De Gea mistake vs Everton or Pickford vs Liverpool.

Jodera:
they have less than 15m to play for. Not that they'll be going to penalties, it's just two options, either they're out or athletico will be out. They've to go all gung-ho for it, since nothing to lose.
This is just the case of Chelsea-barca 2012. Towards the end all barca players attacked since they've nothing to lose freeing Torres. That goal was really deflating enough

Deflecting or not if Liverpool had scored one goal and qualified none of you will be blaming Adrian. Liverpool will definitely go into the match knowing Atletico has the ability to score at anytime so they should have been mentally prepared. When Liverpool scored first, Atletico/ Simeone didn't panic because they knew beforehand it was a scenario that was possible. And Adrian made a bad pass 30 to 40meters away from the Goalpost. The defense could have cleaned up the mistake if they were alert.

Jodera:
Everyone makes a mistake, but there's a mistake more costly than others. And this was costly enough.
At 2-0, they were in next round mode, at 2-1, it's really deflating. Not because they scored a normal goal, but a goal everyone knows can easily be avoided. If that no fit change plans, I dunno what else will.

Liverpool knew right from the start Atletico had the capability to score one goal so they would have prepared for that scenario. It doesn't matter if it was by mistake or genius play.

Jodera:
It's not cheap, it's the truth.

If it was only one goal they conceded it would have been understandable but they conceded 2 more. Was that on Adrian too?

A40:
Not all mistakes are created equal. This was an egregious Kariusesque mistake that you don't game plan from and the other team does not realistically hope to get.

Liverpool missed chances but as at when the error was made Liverpool were advancing to the next round. You don't know how deflating it can be for your goalkeeper to ruin the hard work of everyone else.

Kepa has not made half an error like that in a high stakes game and yet you people are always on his throat

Still at 2:1 - taking into account the keeper’s mistake, - Liverpool were in the game and had enough time to have forced the issue. They didn’t. Instead they folded like a house of cards. Where is the winners mentality you have been telling us about? So it was not just the keeper but the entire team.

Jodera:
this is really the summary of the match. That mistake just set all Liverpool players in panic mode

This is honestly a cheap excuse to put all the blame on Adrian.

Jodera:
I don't see who to blame if not Adrian. Not like a shot was mishandled (which I agree, any keeper makes). But he was been passed the ball to, and he gave a very careless pass, wen he could have been calm, not like they're trailing sef.

Also, I don't see any of Mane's bicycle kick that's a wrong decision. Yes none was on target, but the instance of decision wasn't a wrong one. Also, I want to assume we watched different Chamberlain yesterday

A bad pass is a mistake. Everybody makes a bad pass from time to time. Adrian Cost you less than your attackers. He Kept a clean sheet for 90mins while Liverpool were wasting chances. Atlético also scored 2 more goals than they needed to which is none of Adrian faults. At 2:1 Liverpool could still score one and go ahead. Putting it on him would be shortsighted and cheap.

A40:
Adrian the Iberian Karius happened.

Football is a game of mistakes but by no means is it solely Adrian'a fault.
Liverpool didn't finish their chances and Oblak had a monstrous performance. You can't attribute the defeat to one player when you have Sadio Mane attempting stupid bicycle kicks, Firmino performing like crap and Chamberlain shooting for no reasons.

Cc A40

What happened to your greatest team.

Unlimited22:
Did you read where I said generally, men's sports generate more money?

I am talking about U.S men in particular in contrast with their women. Yes the women are more successful yet the men still bring in more revenue so on what basis are they asking to be paid equally?

Unlimited22:
Thing is, the USA women team have a point. They're the best female team in the world and are followed just as massively, if not more than the male team, in a country where 'soccer' is largely seen as a female sport as opposed to more 'manly' games like their brainless brand of 'football', basketball and even Hockey.

They are much more successful than the men's team too, and their following means they make money via ticket sales etc. They have a point.

But as a generalisation in the world, female football just doesn't attract as much a following as male, so it cannot work elsewhere. Especially in Europe, South America and Africa.

No I disagree. The men bring In more revenue despite the women being more successful. It's not a gender issue. Men sport generates more money, therefore they get paid more.

BlueRayDick:
Ọmọ mehn.....This Corona virus is out to ruin everybody's fun.

Imagine if any of the arsenal players was already a carrier against Everton, the way all arsenal players were fraternizing with iwobi is enough to have infected half of that Everton team sef.

I think it's best they just pause the EPL matches like they did in Italy

It's not possible. Not unless someone at Arsenal tests positive within the next 24 hours. They met with the Olympiakos owner 13 days ago and this fixture between Arsenal and City just happens to coincide with it. It's just as a precaution.

Arsenal said earlier that no one at the club has shown symptoms in the last 13 days. So it's nothing

Just waiting for when the Super falcons will sue NFA to court about equal pay like the Us women team are doing.

forever08:
Messi can never play that wing again - he is old.. As a Yoruba I say laye(never)..

Then we have a big problem on our hands if Messi does not have a defined tactical position.

Kimbeast:
Italy has already reported 1,400 new cases and 133 new deaths rising to 366 deaths already. That's a 5% mortality rate in a Western country whose healthcare system is ranked 2nd in the world. God help those in Africa if it becomes very serious there.

Rather those in America if the outbreak gets there because most Americans don't have jobs where staying at home is possible. That's enough doom to any chance of containing the virus.

FirstbornWds:
Let me sarcastic. It's actually that no coach can restrict him from playing free role. Even his days as a false 9 was more of a freestyle type

Messi definitely followed Pep tactical instructions. I won't say he was free under Guardiola and then you look at Enrique first season when Messi was purely a winger damn he was a monster. We had Messi and Neymar destroying both wings. I have never been a fan of Messi having free role and dropping into midfield because it renders one of our wing useless. You either have Messi take a disciplined tactical role or you have an unbalanced team - not both.

ddippset:
When you say somebody else,

I could think of Neymar, Mbappe, De Bryune.

But definitely not Griezman.

Griezmann is very good player and world class. If you look at his matches with France and Atleti, he was all about playing just off the main striker, Giroud, Costa etc. With Barca though his role and movement is different. The spaces and free role he had is not there anymore. That is precisely why he struggles and is generally frustrating in this new role. He is not use properly because his best position is occupied by Messi.


Also I feel Lautaro Martinez will also suffer the same fate. He is another one of those second striker type players. We can't move forward properly until Messi has a defined role and no coach we currently have can restrict Messi.
