TiagoIlori Hound If the cases start coming down they won’t consider it
Tbh if it was going to happen I think it would have by now. Not sure suspending it for a couple of weeks would make much difference to the pandemic but will cause a lot of headaches to the leagues
They really should crack down on the silly celebrations, hugs and stuff though
You under estimate the rashness of the government, they’re considering tightening the restrictions further at the mo and they are not happy with the COVID breaches in football whatsoever. Think it’s more of a moral decision whether to stop than anything else, if I recall correctly back in the spring/summer they said they didn’t care about getting ill themselves, for some they were more bothered about potentially passing it onto household members particularly Troy Deeney with his baby son being vulnerable.
Ha I certainly don't underestimate that
Its certainly possible. But I think at the moment the public are happy enough for it to stay on. The PL are desperate to stay on.
I suspect there will be some push to be much stricter over the guidelines for the next few weeks, and then come Feb, hopefully we'll start seeing a drop in cases, and hence they'll have missed their moment to stop it.
