[Football] Football in these trying times

BluesRockDJ · Dec 23, 2020

Anyone agree with me that in the current situation, football is not necessary ? As of today, only Scousers can get in grounds, further down the pyramid we can't watch grass roots football. Some might be of the opinion that watching their team going through the paces on TV to fulfil broadcasting contracts is ok, but it's not football as we know it. Should the whole thing be postponed ? Thoughts ?

I 100% disagree ... There is nothing else we can do these wet cold winter covid days / evenings. Being able to watch Football on TV or Stream is for me and I`m sure many others a godsend.

Stay safe everybody and Happy Christmas !!

Football is necessary as it keeps millions of people at home glued to the TV set during a pandemic. We need Football 24 hours a day!!!

Trying? Isn't that rugby?

I need football more now than ever and I cant be the only one.

It's not the same without fans, hate Var and hate the cheating but by god I'd rather still have it on than not.

Not really much to look forward too at the moment apart from the Albion games on tv.

And test matches 5 days of watching England play in the sun against Johnny Foreigner would warm the soul.

Despite some very extremely disappointing results of late, I’m still looking forward too, and hoping for, an Albion away win on the 27th. UTA.

Taken at it's most boiled down, football was NEVER necessary. Any more than pubs were. But for better or worse, or more likely somewhere in between, they both form a major part of the fabric of who many of us as a nation ARE. Oh, and wars of course. Mustn't forget wars

Absolutely this.

Particularly on a mental health level.

So much that we love has (unfortunately) been taken away from us, and continues to be taken away.

We need opportunities to pre-occupy our minds, to be passionate about something, or just let off some steam.

Football means a lot to me (and not just BHA).

Mackenzie · Dec 23, 2020

I’d be so bored without football. Thank goodness it’s still going.

A glass of decent red, a couple of similarly warmed mince pies with the Milk Cup on the box.

Merry Christmas.

I was exactly the same in March, April but we nw know what the risk is and how to solve it, we need to move on so footy continues please

Wall to wall football on the TV since the Restart has been a godsend. Fair play to the EPL and Championship clubs for making it work, despite all the miserablists saying it was unfair, unworkable, immoral, etc.

From a personal point of view it’s helped my mental health no end as well as economically aiding all those ‘spinoff’ industries

At least we tend to win wars

Nay, nay and thrice nay.

Yep, I'm with this. The German football, then the Prem coming back was a real boost. Be a hell of a winter if it's all cancelled again.
