Teams will be allowed up to 5 substitutes when matches finally restart.

There's also the option to stop using VAR. If maintaining sporting integrity is so important how can you play 3/4 of the season with one set of rules and then change the rules for the last 1/4 of the season?

No changes should be made to the rules of the game. Playing behind closed doors be the only change to the game.

I totally agree. The season should be finished, but not until it is safe to do so, with the rules that have been used so far continuing to be used, with behind closed door games the only concession to be made. If that means we can't start until August/September then that is what should be done. Move the 20/21 season to Jan to Oct/Nov with a mid season break for the Euros. Move the 21/22 season also to Jan to Sept/Oct to finish in time for the World Cup in Qatar. After that do whatever is needed to get back to a "regular" season from then on.
Alternatively the "fairest" thing to do would be to announce this season as null and void and start the 20/21 season as planned in August/September.
NB. It is possible that I meant "funniest" rather than "fairest" in that sentence - my brother is a Liverpool fan and the abuse I'd be able to give him if this season isn't finished would be priceless.

Kyle Walker......a new low has been reached today. Holds a sex party, gets media attention, blames the media for the attention it causes, breaks more guildelines by seeing family and tries to play the mental health card. It's your own fault you melt. As an England fan I hope this disgusting excuse for a human never wears our shirt again. Everyone is struggling and missing their family, if we all behaved like that we'd be in lockdown for a year.
Honestly, his cringeworthy Iphone drafted statement (that probably took a week to spellcheck) was possibly the most self pitying text ever composed. Entitled, arrogant, ignorant.....Man City should PPE him up and send him to a hospital for a week or to the makeshift morgue. He's part of the reason why football won't return and why they'll be dozens more positive tests

Really? Bit of an overreaction imo.

Utterly ridiculous, there wouldn't be room for any doctors or nurses if they did that with everyone who broke the lockdown rules.
Or is it one rule for footballers and another rule for everyone else?

In Germany, due to open in a weeks time, a whole team (Dresden) is now in lockdown again. They will miss the 1st game, but what I think is even worse, they can't actually do any training until the 2nd game either. I don't think they can/should go ahead. But I am not the one making millions out of it.
I agree. There have been so many games decided by close VAR decisions already this season and so it ruins any integrity of the league to suddenly do away with it. Same with suddenlyl introducing 5 subs
Third Brighton player tests positive!

It got touched upon earlier, one player for lets say Liverpool tests positive two weeks into the season restart, what then? Are they forced to play a reserve team for the remaining fixtures, is the whole club on lockdown again?
I really can't see how restarting the season is going to work.

Exactly why it’s too early to restart the season.
Looking at the current sets of data, the infection isn’t going away.
Cancel, null and void this season and start the new season in September. What happens if players test Positive after 4 games? Cancel that season too?

Must say covid 19 has proper made me fall out of love with football
The actions by the powers that be to impose deadlines or fines for not finishing or not restarting seasons is pathetic .

I'm going for the most far fetched example possible now
Cancel next season now
Auto add one season to everyone's contract
Finish this season by next summer starting it about the time it left off allowing players to retrain from January with friendly in Feb
Not only their own club, what about the players the infected player has come into contact with when playing?

Yes, it would be virtually impossible to police. I'd be interested to see who is actually making the decision to play, is it the clubs, the PL or is it the tv companies who pump billions into the game putting pressure onto the PL?
What ever decisions are made, as & when, they’ll be controversial.
