It won't be just a few half-wits; It will be all those who don't have access to whatever channel the game is on. Live quality streaming might cut that down a bit but there will always be people who can't watch games without all of their mates around them supping beer. Look at the photos that are everywhere on the internet today, beaches overrun, parks full of groups with beer, wine and pizza. Anyway it doesn't concern me at all so do whatever you like but don't eventually blame the government for letting you do it. NB In the protest photos we see a fat tosser with a Liverpool polo taking selfie.

It's not the players, it's the groups of people that will agglomerate to watch the games.

It never was that great anyway. Way behind King Edwards, Tauntons, GG and St Annes (not that St Mary's took girls in my day anyway) and even Itchen. Plus I think they only took Catholics...might be wrong there though.

Well from the photos circulating on the internet today I think we know what people think of government advice. If you want people not to do something you either have to make it impossible( ie shutting places down) or extremely onerous if they get caught doing it anyway.

I think they had far more volunteers than places on the Oxford programme anyway. Might be still able to sign up at Imperial although they're a bit picky.

I see that most (or all ) of the bars and clubs in S.Korea have been shut down again because there were some new cases. Don't take any risks those people.

There are some treatments that seem to reduce the impact of the disease if they're given early enough. Apparently the same sort of tritherapy that's used for Aids has shown some good results in a limited study somewhere or other. Then again so have Chlorpromazine, Ivermectine and Tocilizumab but the studies are limited and will probably be disproved for general use.

Perhaps you don't need billions of doses, some people seem to be by far less affected than others. The next step is probably understanding why that is so. Starting with why the UK population is so fragile.

405,000 deaths for 228 million cases doesn't really compare with 31000 deaths for 200,000 cases does it. What is so alarming about the UK's figures is the death/case ratio. If you had 228 million cases of Covid 19 in the UK (well not actually possible because there are only 68 million people) you'd have 35,000000 deaths. Covid 19 is a mean disease, well especially to the fragile population of the UK.

Ah right, someone reasonably restrained then . The rest of the Milton seemed to just let off steam for the 2 hours or so that they were there of a Saturday. A marvelous escape valve for the pressure built up in a stressful week at work. But that was then and now 98% of the Milton faithful would be turfed out by the stewards before half time.

Not too confident about the Oxford vaccine then ?

Urggh those crappy brown blazers.

And then there will be those who think that Biden won't last 4 years anyway and vote because of his running mate. Can't understand the sudden tendancy towards old fogies. Most US presidents have been around 55-60 when elected. Trump was already 70 and Biden will be even older.

I see that the idiots are out and about for the BH week-end in the UK. That's not the government's fault, although if they have slapped on a big,big fine for those who get caught some might have used a bit more savvy. £60 reduced to £30 if you pay up on time was never enough; Should be somewhere around £150 with no reduction to be taken seriously.

Absolutely; Even the Spanish and Italians have got their new cases down to somewhere around 1000 a day, the Brits are still gaily passing the virus around amongst themselves. When the UK is down to 1000 or so daily new cases and a couple of hundred deaths you can be thinking about football and cricket etc but now is not the time or anywhere near it. Treatments are beginning to show up but none of them are totally efficient ad most of them are complicated and no doubt expensive but sooner or later an efficient one will be found.

Why not ? Don't see anyone seeking desperately to get County Crcket started up or cycle racing. What makes football the exception, wasn't any professional football in the war years. PL football is about money, most of them don't probably want to finish the season but they're in so deep for money that they think they have to.

Have you got the pink mums and kids spaces in the UK yet ?

No doubt sensible and well educated populations are somewhat better prepared but the death rates in the UK, Belgium Spain, Italy and France are quite frankly alarming. Why are these populations so fragile that about 30% or so of the more serious cases don't make it.

Did not all of the Milton use loud, industrial language in those days? Even the kids in the choccy boxes. You certainly didn't take your girlfriend in there. West Stand for those odd occasions.

There's an interesting piece in the Figaro today which tries to explain why some central european countries have been far less affected than others. Consensus seems to be that the quicker you hermetically closed your borders the better you've come out of it..for the moment. Most of them have governments whch lean far to the right.

I see that at least one German region has had to backpedal a bit on their deconfinement. A lot of new cases in a meat packing factory apparently.

Didn't we already pass that milestone a week or so back ? Perhaps it was just in London and not the whole of the UK. I know that the Americans surpassed their Vietnam death total about 10 days back.

Who knows, your average Brit is desperate for it and the government may well cave in. We'll see when they start testing players and finding cases as in Germany. Best thing would probably be to move it abroad somewhere and eliminate any possiibiity of fans hanging around grounds. Now Poland, that would be a good sort of place for it.

And it certainly went tits up quickly enough for him at Everton. A good season and then sacked soon enough in the next one. Spent a fair old bit of money on players who weren't suited to the PL.

And maybe one of the treatments you read about every day might even work on a large scale. Today's it's llama serum and some drug that they give to nutters for schizophrenia.
