Danny went live on a Q&A on Instagram

“Government is saying ‘bring football back’ because it is going to boost the nation’s morale. I don’t give a fuck about the nation’s morale, bro, people’s lives are at risk,” he said.
“Football shouldn’t even be spoke about coming back until the numbers [infected or dying] have dropped massively. It’s bollocks.”

I got to agree with old Danny Boy. It's bollocks to be having the discussion that it could boost the nation's moral to have football back soon.

Agreed - let's face it - it's about money, not about morale.

All for them bringing it back if they can formulate a safe way to do so but at the moment it's not a priority and the numbers don't seem to support bringing back team contact sports at this stage. Even behind closed doors.

Yeah. The “behind closed doors” line is tacitly agreeing that match day revenue isn't anywhere near as important as TV revenue.

I for one will boycott all sport that returns behind closed doors, just because it’s clearly just a desperate money grab.

I dont see a problem with it if the players are being tested. If anything they're less at risk than anyone who goes out and isn't being tested.

Everyone hates the idea of football clubs just doing something for money, until we reach the transfer window.

This seems a very naive or selfish response. The delay in getting results or alternatively the resources needed to get timely results would either put people at unnecessary risk or remove the focus from those front line workers who need help and protection most.

What delay in results? They get tested every few days and the results will come through quickly enough to isolate anyone who tests positive. They did it in UFC, a fighter and 2 of his coaches tested positive so they got taken into isolation and taken off the card. The rest of the card continued without them.

As for the NHS, it has no affect on them. The tests are not taken away from NHS staff. In fact the main issue with testing NHS staff is nothing to do with having enough tests but rather that the test centers are too far for them to travel to. Having testing stations at the stadium will ensure players are tested before they enter, players will be traveling alone so they wont enter the stadium if they test positive. The stadium will be safer than most homes or shops etc.

I don't see what's selfish or naive about it whatsoever. It's been made clear that every precaution is being taken to protect the players. Of course if there's too much risk then they can't go ahead. But I haven't seen anything to suggest that the players safety is being put into jeopardy. I get the severity of this virus but I do think people are a bit too over the top over it.

One has to take into consideration the amount of people, "essential staff", needed to organise and run these " behind closed doors" matches.

One Championship club has given ESPN a full rundown of the minimum number of people it would expect at a game behind closed doors, and it amounts to 166. In the Premier League, rights-holder media alone would see that number leap toward 300.

A top-flight club source told ESPN that an average of 120 broadcast media are accredited for home games. The people you don't see -- riggers, electricians, technicians, producers, camera crew and sound engineers -- are just as important, if not more so, as the reporter or commentator; they will all need to be inside a stadium once football gets the green light to resume.
That's the figures for inside the stadium.

I overheard someone at Sainsburys saying the max number of people allowed inside is 100 so it's no worse considering the size of a stadium in comparison. The key is they're going to be spread apart and tested when they enter the stadium.

absolutely no reason why any commentators need to mix with anyone else other than themselves. The camera men are dotted around the pitch and they mainly have cameras fixed around the ground. Don’t they have permanent ones that whizz across wires overhead?

Sounds like he’s up for a swap deal!

Tottenham Hotspur's 29-year-old defender Danny Rose, who is on loan at Newcastle United, has revealed he wants to play for Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers - but joked that Foxes left-back and England team-mate Ben Chilwell, 22, would "have to be bought first". (Mail)

Not sure how keen Leicester would be for that though!

I can see Chilwell leaving Leicester at some point though, he’ll want to try himself at a bigger club (not necessarily us).

One year left on his contract. Surely we're not gonna get any more than a packet of Space Raiders for him. Getting him off the wage bill should be considered a success.
