1-0 with a worldie from a player that hasn’t scored in 3 years!

I watched the DAZN stream today and they had crowd reaction noises for chances, goals etc. Trouble is, it’s probably a bloke pushing a button so it was delayed and just felt weird.

Yep, cheers Steve!

Covid must have hit Arsenal hard financially. Arteta wearing a bin liner.

Was utterly ridiculous given how my times VAR has given really dubious penalties etc. To just shrug it off and go, “oh well, the camera didn’t work due to the position of the goalie” was utterly ludicrous. I wonder what would have happened if it was a Liverpool goal?

Anyone else getting a “too many connections” error?

No swear filter on this forum? Hmm. S****horpe are fucking **** but Pompey are ****ter!

It’s really weird without the fans. Those delayed ohhhs and ahhh when a shot is made are ludicrous.

What about his eyes. It wasn’t even a close one. The goalie had a “oh shit I fucked up” look on his face too. What a clanger !

That’s shambolic from the officials. Embarrassingly bad.

Does the ref still get a buzz notification to his watch when the ball crosses the line. What a shit show.

Good energy from that black lives matter bloke, he’s everywhere!

That’s nuts. VAR fella must have dozed off. It’s not even close!

Lol. Fricken Grealish!

How’s that not a goal. Villa goalie pushed behind the line with the ball by own player. VAR?

Grealish going to ground before contact. Amazing that refs are not cottoning on. He’s looking to go to ground any time an opponent gets near him.

Are you lot getting the same feed as me with the cringy reactions of fans watching at home on their couches all decked out in replica shirts, hats, scarves? lol. Embarrassing.

For seasonal flu viruses we have established herd immunity and vaccines. We don’t have that with covid (yet). Covid deaths are high even with lockdown and social distancing.

USA think it’s the Olympics. They’ll likely surpass 250k

You’re missing the point entirely. The flu deaths are in a population that are largely protected by either prior exposure to (one of the many subtypes of) flu viruses or have had a flu shot (epidemiologists predict which subtypes will be present). This subtype of Coronavirus is novel and has different surface antigens to other circulating coronaviruses. Exposed people will largely make immune cells against the novel surface antigens (also known as epitopes) but it takes time. In that time, vulnerable people may die. We don’t know a few important things about this virus. Namely: How long it can survive in droplets or on inanimate objects. What the average length of incubation is. Which stages of disease that those infected are infective. Stages include incubation period, disease state, recovery etc. Until we know more about these questions then the best bet is to isolate everyone.

But he wasn’t good at maintaining social distancing on the pitch...

If that turns out true it will be BECAUSE of the isolation measures that have been undertaken. Carrying on regardless (as we would do in flu season) would result in much higher death tolls.

Oh come on ref, that hit him on the respirator tube, no way that’s a peno, are you blind?

Saints being one of those teams.

At the end of the day it’s just football. They need to focus on the little people here who now can’t earn a wage or their small business has suffered due to the shutdown. A few nice gestures going about in North American sport whereby star players are paying those arena workers etc. who can’t earn anything during this crisis.
