Saw an interview on SKY, where someone was suggesting that if a footballer spits during the game then he will be given a yellow card, .
Matches will be abandoned in that case, there wont be enough players left on the pitch.

Also what about sweating. How's that going to work?

Although obviously none of our players ever work up a sweat etc etc

Maybe they can play out the remaining games using Zorb/bubble football rules, there will be no physical contact.

I wonder if they've considered settling it all via a Rocket League tournament?

Zorb football is a tonne of fun. To make it proper zorb football though, you have to make all the Villa lot wear Small Heath shirts, all the Noses Villa, everybody must have had a skin full the night before and you can only drink warm John Smiths to rehydrate.

Just a question, we all seem to be worried that a player may die because of contracting the virus, what will happen when we all go back to work, do we honestly believe that no one will catch this disease from someone they work with or by? - it seems reading a lot of the posts on here, that footballers are for some reason considered more special than the average working class person in the street.

If they have to go back to doing there job, they will just have to get on with it, like we all will have to.

Saw an interview on SKY, where someone was suggesting that if a footballer spits during the game then he will be given a yellow card, maybe they will have a spittoon (like in the old westerns) placed on the side of the pitch, for them to do that disgusting habit.

I don't wrestle with my colleagues in the kitchen when there is a corrner though, it's not quite the same thing.

You should have seen my old office when somebody brought cakes in.

This thread needs saving right now. Otherwise the lice will have claimed another scalp.

I don't want to nit-pick, but who is this victoria you speak of and do you think she'd let you have some?

She is not big on personal hygiene.
