Some of our engineers are borderline, but yes to an extent, all of who are untested, come to work via various modes of private and public transport.

I'm sure with the things they are considering putting in place that they may be in a safer environment.

Do you think if City were 20 odd points clear that Aguero wouldnt want to finish the season, honestly?

That's not what he said at all. In fact he said he was ok as he just lived with his girlfriend but others had families to worry about.

There are loads of footballers who deserve a slagging but I aint buying that Sergio is one of them.

Do you really think he cares that much about this season one way or another? I don't. This virus is all that matters. Give Liverpool the title. Don't play the cups that are left. Whatever...it is not worth the risk and I agree with him.

Will you go and play golf in 1-2 weeks time if the courses are open?

"Three members of German football club FC Cologne have tested positive for Covid-19, the club has confirmed.

The Bundesliga side said the entire team, as well as coaching and backroom staff, were tested on Thursday.

The three individuals who tested positive were not displaying any symptoms, the club said, but would spend 14 days in quarantine at home. Group training at the club would continue, it added."

Well that seems like a sensible decision. :unsure:

been 129 home wins and 87 away wins (plus 72 draws) in the prem so far, home advantage almost worth half a point on average, will definitely be winners and losers if they go to neutral venues based on which games sides have left

True but neutral venues should help with the issue of fans turning up at the ground so an improvement. Pity it is not still there or you could have quarantined all of the players at the Olympic village and played all of the matches at West Ham's ground?

I have some sympathy with Aguero. Covid19 can lead to scarring on the lungs. For an elite level athlete this isn't lethal, but it is career over. So why would they not be worried?

I dont think anyone is saying anyone shouldnt be worried, but life has to move towards normalcy in different parts of life - work, life, leisure, sport, holidays. Otherwise we would all be in lockdown for 3 years if you wanted to make 99% sure.
 
For sure, but he is minted, has a few years left at the top level, why risk a few years at bonkers money for the sske of 6 months. It's not like he is a plumber, with 3 kids, a mortgage, etc.

He actually said "The majority of players are scared because they have children and families,"
How does he know, has he asked them or is he just assuming?

Are you for real? Social distancing is 2m and easily achieved on a golf course. Hardly a comparison to a professional football match.

1000s have died and are dying and a guy who is very professional, gets on with his job, doesn't get involved with the press makes a statment rightly expressing concern and you think it's based upon league positions. Beggars belief. He has a team mate in David Silva whose child has had serious health issues...that's just what we know about. But no...according to you his statement is because he wants...well what exactly?? Simply for care to be taken and not an obscene rush to play football again.

I'm out. Get a grip on what is happening in the world because football is pretty much irrelevant right now.
 
Devils advocate.
Football comes back, it's inevitable lives will be lost due to it as I cannot see how no one will get infected if it does.
Is is right that a game of football should take precedent over saving lives?

So what's your ulterior motive for making such a sensible statement?

Dammit - said I was out...off to put Phil on ignore (sorry Phil) then I won't see this thread and be tempted to open it!!

If you change the word football to Golf that makes it uncomfortable for me.
With all the golfers in the world I can’t see nobody passing it on to someone.
The sports are totally different contact wise .
But one life is to many.????
Until SD is over football is a no for me . But Golf ?
