Hopefully that's true. If players have been given a date I don't know why it hasn't been made public.


It's not gossip; he's been allowed to miss training due to fears: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11671335/kante-chelsea-training-coronavirus/


He probably knows what he's team-mates have been up to  .


Yeah, saw that earlier. Spraying the balls is ridiculous.

Adrian Mariappa was the Watford player who tested positive: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52744883

It's still going to happen though and it looks like it will be sometime this year: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-8341309/Tyson-Fury-Deontay-Wilder-trilogy-fight-happen-2020-Bob-Arum-reveals-plans-made.html

Someone would likely just open another thread about it anyway if this one was locked or talk about it in another boxing thread.


The last fight was $80 so it'll either be the same price or more. If the fight goes ahead behind closed doors I'm sure they'll jack the price up to cover lost gate receipts. $80 is already a lot though. It shouldn't be more than $100. It was £24.95 in the UK.

I'd be surprised if it got going within two weeks. The players will probably want at least two weeks to train, and then there's all the other things to organise by the PL, but hopefully they've already been working on that. We still don't know whether they're going to be playing in neutral grounds or not.


Lol. What is it with players and banging hookers. There's probably hundreds of women who will bang them for free. I wonder if these PL players will get into trouble with either the law or their clubs since they should have been self-isolating. I'm not sure if hookers count as essential or front-line workers. No wonder a lot of players don't want to go back to training because they know what everybody's been getting up to.

Lots of teams have started training again now including Liverpool and Man U:
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/11991390/liverpool-and-manchester-united-resume-group-training-for-premier-league-restart


It was Watford and Burnley who had players/staff that tested positive:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52726278


Why would they postpone or cancel the league because of six positive tests? That's ridiculous. Six is a tiny number. Do you expect the entire league to be zero? They do the tests so they can isolate the players. As far as I'm aware they were all asymptomatic as well.

Watford and Burnley were the two teams with players/staff that tested positive:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52726278

This was after Troy Deeney stated he wouldn't be returning to training fearing for the safety of his family:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52721397


It could become an issue if more and more players refuse to play. A handful have already voiced their concerns.

Scottish League is small fry in numerous ways compared to the PL, but it's harsh that they relegated Hearts. They shouldn't be doing that unless they mathematically can't get out of the relegation zone. I'm sure they'll get that over-turned. They should do what the Belgium league did and just suspend relegation and play with the extra team next year.

And If the PL goes ahead then I'm sure the Championship will do as well. It's going to be very harsh if they void that league and deny Leeds the chance to finally get back into the PL after all those years.


People are bound to test positive, but that's why they do the tests so they don't spread it so people testing positive is unlikely to halt things.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52699654


It seems 14 of the 20 clubs is what's needed for a consensus. I'm sure they can get that. Seems a bit weird limiting training to groups of 5 if they're going to be playing full games.


I doubt it. They certainly won't relegate the bottom three. It just wouldn't be fair. If the PL is good to go then I'm sure the Championship will follow suit.

Oh, and if anyone wants to watch the Bundesliga games Skybet are live streaming them all. It's free to sign up. Can't say I'm that bothered about most games but I'll definitely be watching Dortmund Vs Bayern on the 26th.

Are you sure they're actual people? They might cardboard cut outs. A couple of teams have allowed the fans to purchase them for charity:



https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8315767/The-atmospheres-bit-flat-Cardboard-fans-stands-Borussia-Moenchengladbach-soccer-stadium.html

Looks a bit eerie but it's a nice idea. Though maybe some of the smaller leagues have lax rules about who can watch or get into the stadiums and they are actual spectators.

I heard he was ill as Dana mentioned it in the press conference but he didn't go into details.


Both fighters have fought in both divisions so I'm sure this match up could easily get done. I'd like to see it, but I don't think Connor would win.


With restrictions likely being lifted soon it probably won't matter that much where it is. I'm sure Dana could get people flown into the US quite easily.

You'll never get every team to agree. Every club will want something based on what's best for them. I don't think it will stop clubs from suing if they feel like they've been hard done by or been given a disadvantage. Everything is fair if every club has to deal with the changes but that probably wont stop them from arguing that it was unfair to them as they might not have been relegated if the season continued as normal. Just watch what happens to the relegated teams. I'm sure they'll complain about something even if it's just about the lack of fans or that the gap in play was too long or they didn't get enough time to train before the league resumes.


I'm sure every team would want it to end now except maybe those in positions where if the league ends as is they will lose out, like relegated teams and teams who could grab the CL and EL places. It probably doesn't really matter to Liverpool whether they are crowned champions now or later as they practically have it in the bag as all they need is two wins I believe.

But they have to have all the teams on board for the restart or there could be lawsuits. It's a little different between Christmas fixtures and what we have now as it's not something they agreed to or what was in place at the start of the season. It's like changing the deal half way though. Teams are allowed to complain/protest about the compacted Christmas fixtures but if they agree to it before the season starts then there's nothing they can do. Moving the goalposts as they say is much different. If games get the go-ahead and the only difference is there's no fans and no other changes to the rules I don't think teams will have any legal right to complain, and if relegated teams do complain or try take legal action it will be very petty and shameful of them.

Nah, it's a shot at the crybaby primadonna players who've said they don't want to play during the crisis. Most of them seem to be bigger names. Some of the shitter teams are being difficult though:

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/premier-league-season-news-meeting-18254928


If it gets to a point where the majority of teams have agreed to proceed and certain clubs are holding back they should just give them the dates when to start and if they don't want to play then fuck em and they just lose points if they don't play the matches. I'm sure clubs would turn their attitudes then.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/14/premier-league-must-show-free-to-air-games-and-share-money-to-restart-government


I can't see the PL giving away the rights for the remaining games for free. If they want more money to be given to the lower leagues they should let them find a buyer and share some of the money, or even better let the PL stream them online and let fans pay for games individually or do a full Premier League pass for all the matches. If there's one thing that comes from this farce I hope it's a shake-up of how the PL games are shown in the UK. They're probably going to need to recoup money from somewhere as a lot of refunds are likely going to be given due to contracts not being kept.


Aiming for. I'd be surprised if they get things going within a month. It doesn't seem plausible. There's just far too many complications and complaints from teams and if/when they announce how the games will precede then you'll get teams complaining about whatever they've proposed. Even if the matches go ahead in the correct stadiums I'm sure some teams will complain about lack of fans or some other bullshit excuses as to why they're losing.

Well that was several years ago, if true. I'd concentrate on getting the same compliment for your current posts as your recent post history is what Darkstar will look at if you want a spot on this campaign. Competition is high so it should be given to the most active.

It probably depends how you define affiliate marketer, but I've always just seen him as a gambler who is offering tips and trying to get a little extra coins to gamble with. I suppose using ref links can be quite lucrative but at the same time you usually only get peanuts but the more your post your links everywhere the more you'll collect and I guess that's why they're mostly seen as spam.


Not really. Many people post them along with the regular link and they're still removed. It doesn't really matter whether they're hidden or out in the open as they're generally not allowed because they're just inherently seen as spam.

You could have just called him a cock. Or a cowardly chicken talking a whole load of chiff-chaff.













The short version is that most people can see he's a blatant fraud trying to hijack bitcoin for his own reasons.


Why do people normally claim to have achieved something they haven't? Fame, respect, money. In Craig's case it's clear he's trying to hijack bitcoin for his own financial gain, but I'm sure he wants the kudos as well. Craig Wright was a nobody before he muscled his way into the bitcoin, now he's trying to be a somebody and probably cash in on that along the way too. I mean, I bet he doesn't do all these talks for free.


He's

We can only speculate as nobody can be sure, but if he can't show everybody else how he did it we can only assume he somehow conned or faked it to Gavin.


He's not a troll. He's a fraudster. Trolls do things for entertainment and to get a rise out of people. CW does things for his own gains.

Nope, but your chance of getting on this campaign is already next to zero given that you literally just re-appeared to sign up for it and thankfully Darkstar does his due diligence.


You're right, I don't, but regardless it's still a sobstory. I'm sure there are many people here who also have things going on in their personal life but that shouldn't have any baring on their eligibility to join this campaign.

Can you sign a message from the address posted above? At least that will prove that the account isn't hacked or sold.

I'm really not optimistic about the league getting restarted. There just seems to be too many factors involved and whinging from players and teams about numerous things which you likely won't be able to make everyone happy. The only thing that might help is if the Bundelisga gets going without a hitch on Saturday.


I'm sure the lower-league teams will cry about having to fork out for that too. Fans would have to be pretty stupid to loiter around stadiums, especially if they've been told not to. Even more stupid if they actually try to get into grounds. Just watch the game at home.

I haven't watched last nights card yet but according to the post-match conference from Dana it's likely Khabib vs Gaethje in September and also the infrastructure on Fight Island will likely be completed within 3 weeks so he'll announce where that is then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEKQGUHDtOQ

McGregor looks like he wants to fight both of them too, but if Khabib vs Gaethje does go ahead, which it likely will, I think he should go with the Masvidal fight as that's probably the next big thing unless he fights Tony, but Dana said he wants Tony to take some time off after his defeat. I remember Conor saying he wanted to fight three times this year but we'll be lucky if we get one fight at this rate. Hopefully he'll be on the Fight Island card and then the winner of that could maybe fight the winner of Khabib vs Gaethje at the end of the year, maybe on the December New Year's Eve card. He needs to take something though as I doubt he's going to have a title shot without earning it.

I'm also glad to see Dana is still going ahead with Fight Island even though it seems fights in the US are going ahead fine now. That could be something special.

Surely this isn't legit? If they seriously suggest things like this it's clear they shouldn't be playing games right now. I don't really think there should be any changes to the actual game. Neutral grounds and no crowds: fair enough, but suggesting people look away during tackles is ridiculous.

It seems there's going to be a big meeting today at 10AM between the PL, managers and medical staff. It will be interesting to see what comes out of that:

I'm sure there'll still be the lower table teams complaining about neutral grounds.
