Thread | ITFC now close to furloughing staff....
at 11:12 1 Apr 2020
And having had a massive rant about football clubs doing this on Joe's thread below and also on Twitter last night, it is slightly more understandable for a L1 club that doesn't get the income the Prem and top-end Champ clubs do. But I still don't agree with it.
That said, I would happily support the Government telling football clubs they are not eligible to do this.
Football as an industry has been paying the players far more than is sustainable for many, many years now.... this wouldn't happen in any other industry, so why should it happen in football?
If a few clubs go bust as a result, then while it is a shame for the fans of those particular clubs, for the rest of the game it should be the long-overdue wake-up call that football needs to get its house in order and very quickly.
What's needed is a strong and stringent independent regulator, as the current people in charge are incapable of running the sport. |

... but he's properly got the nation's kids engaged with his 9am exercise class on You Tube.
Our two are following it religiously, as is my wife (although I'm not sure her motivation is quite the same as theirs), and judging by social media, there's loads of kids getting involved. |

Thread | So how would total lockdown work further than we already have?
at 15:48 22 Mar 2020
Other than closing non-food shops?
Those identified as key workers the other day will still be key workers and will need to get to get to work.
People will still need to go and buy food.
People will still be able to go for a walk / exercise a safe distance from others.
The thing that needs to change is the moronic “great” British public. |

I can remember him scoring a few other thunderbolts... I’m sure one was against Bournemouth, can’t remember who else. And also a back-heel vs Birmingham in the last home game of a season. |

... just shared a post on Twitter of his speech. But because I'm a useless clown, I don't know how to post the link on here.
If Boris does nothing else today, all he has to do is copy and paste the speech for the UK. |

Thread | No more football until September.... here’s how to sort it....
at 23:16 13 Mar 2020
Cancel Euro 2020, move them to June 2021.
Scrap all next next season’s cup competitions.
Resume play in September and play this season to a finish.
Three week break in October for the transfer window and to sort the fixtures out. Then start the new season third / fourth week of October.
Finish mid-May, play-offs done by the end of May.
Sorted. [Post edited 13 Mar 23:16]

Thread | Anyone going to the darts at the Corn Exchange tomorrow?
at 19:25 6 Mar 2020
RvB, Mardle and Fallon.
But not The Power. He’s injured his hip and pulled out. They’re trying to find a replacement at the last minute.
So tomorrow currently looks like this.
Walk dog.
Take eldest to netball tournament.
Leave netball tournament just in time to drop car at home and get to PR.
Watch 0-2 defeat.
Go along for the beers to watch the rugby, even though I don’t really like it.
Go to the darts and see who they’ve managed to drag in to replace the Power.
Stagger home.
