Someone on twitter (freelance journalist) has said earlier that John McGinn won't play any part if we do come back as he has asthma and is in the at risk category.

If it's the one I've just seen retweeted, the account's been around since March 2020. For someone with hardly any Twitter presence, I'd be astounded if he had the kind of sources he claims to.

Have a look at his other tweets. File under 'fantasist'.

My medical knowledge is sketchy to say the least but I couldn’t imagine any player capable of covering the ground that McGinn does match after match could possibly suffer from asthma.

League two have agreed to cancel the rest of the season and use PPG.

Don't think the premier league will take any notice of that although PPG is a bit worrying.

I think it's relatively sensible. They have agreed on PPG in order to finalise the season. What they have yet to agree on is promotion and relegation.

Apparently no relegation...a precedent set...I know the leaks from the league meeting a few weeks ago said promotions but no relegations.

FA has to ratify which leaves them in a pickle

They said there had to be  relegation a few days ago and now they have a league voting they don't want it ..

If they go with league then every other league can raise same argument so Monday will be interesting.

I think it will all go PPG to determine places in all divisions but no relegation.  It is utterly ludicrous to determine peoples livelihoods for the worse via PPG.

It's got me thinking, what will be in the rules going forward if future seasons are ever incomplete.

I really don’t understand why the government are now ‘pushing’ for this.


Need something to placate the masses with.
The Government has been pushing for people to get back to work and children to get back to school with no concern for the consequences. Why would they care about "greedy" footballers?

It's perfectly possible if managed properly. It depends what it is that sets his asthma off.

They now pushing for games on BBC. Fob off the masses and distract them from the ongoing cluster fuck.

Normally you'd think that it was a bit far fetched, but no, with this lot it's as base as that.
