This Dortmund game 16:09 - May 16 with 1150 viewsJoey_Joe_Joe_Junior

Thought I’d give it a look, as some live sport in COVID times. I’m not sure what I was expecting. I thought it would be a bit strange without fans. It’s not that though, it’s the social distracting in a contact sport that is more weird to me. I assume everyone in that stadium has been tested? No touching teams mates in celebrations, subs spread out etc. Weird.

It was awful imo

Just seemed so odd

It was different, but oddly the game was very good considering the players haven’t kicked a ball in competitive format for a few weeks.

I wonder if we can get that Shalke manager if he gets sacked from them. Certianly would be an upgrade from Lambert. Would be too expensive for Evans though...

Poll: Should Lambert continue as the Ipswich Town manager?

I like football. I really like football. But I just cannot get excited about behind closed doors Bundesliga I'm afraid.

Nor can I ever re watching a full match from history. The really special thing for me is live sport, I just cant comprehend watching the full 90 minutes from Euro 96 or whatever.

It was a good game. Live sport is great. People will moan about anything. Not sure what social distancing you were seeing on the pitch to be honest.

Truly impaired.

I agree about live sport being great, it's unrivalled. I'm envious of those that enjoyed today, as I miss really enjoying watching football. I think I get as much from the theatre of it all, the build up, supporters, noise, smells etc as I do from the technical spectacle on display (although I love that too). I think the issue for me is it felt so sub standard as an event vs. what we're used to, it's better than nothing though.

Of course it's way better with the fans but it's an extraordinary time right now.

I think he means that the social distancing of subs and in celebrations in weird when they are playing a contact sport anyway

Not disputing that, I'm fully in favour of not having 40,000 people packed into stadia at the moment. For me it detracts sufficiently from the spectacle that I'll opt not to bother watching, but it's good if you're not in that camp as you still get some enjoyment from the beautiful game.

The celebrations were different in the other games, all elbow tapping

Felt the same as watching any televised game as a neutral, certainly no different than the lunchtime EFL games on Saturdays. I suppose if there had been some real drama it might have felt a bit odd, but it was enjoyable to watch.
Watching on TV never hits the same as being there though.

I survived Ipswich 0-0 Burton
