I genuinely couldn't give a shit about football, don't care when it starts again, don't care what division we are in when it does. It really is all pretty meaningless.

Yup.

I'm with you.  The more we've moved away from it, the less I care.  Normally during the summer I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for the season to start again, but now, couldn't care less.

In the grand scheme of things of course it is.  But then you could've said that six months ago, before all this even started.

As it is, we'll get through this, football will start up again, and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to be distracted from the pretty horrendous goings on in the world at the moment.

With the actions of Uefa, PFA, some of the players and clubs, showing what truly matters to them even at a time like this, I actually think I actively dislike the game right now.

I haven't given it a second thought since all this kicked off. Yes, It'll be great when we're back to normality and going to games again but it can take as long as it needs to.

100% agree with you both.

But discussing options is valid.  As is discussing football in general.

I 100% care about what division we're in.

If the season is played out properly (with crowds present) then we finish the season properly.

If the season is played out artificially (behind closed doors) then we finish for the benefit of TV money but nobody should be relegated.  If the Championship is finished, it would then be fair to allow the top 2 admission to the PL.  Either way, play offs should be scrapped due to time frames.

I didn't tell anyone not to discuss it, I was saying how I feel. Didn't say anyone had to agree with me.

What don't you agree with? That PWS does not care less right now?

Probably PWS's opinion that it's meaningless I expect.

Meaningless to him is possibly what he meant and at the moment, to some people it is.

Well regrettably, I'm not a mind reader so I have to respond to what is written.  Besides, PWS himself stated that people didn't have to agree with him so I'm not sure where you got your theory from.

To me, football is still important, as is the state of our economy and everything else that will play a part in our everyday lives once this is over.

Well yes, and I agree with PWS, but thinking otherwise isn't a problem is it?  I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Of course thinking otherwise is fine. Other people obviously couldn't give two hoots at the moment and that's fine as well.
