The next two rounds of games in La Liga have been suspended as the effects of the coronavirus grow in Spain. Seven Bundesliga games will take place behind closed doors this weekend, as will all games in Ligue 1, while pretty much everything in Italy is shutdown.
This leaves England the only one of the big five leagues going ahead in front of full stadiums. Infection rates in Italy, France, Spain and Germany are significantly higher than the UK, but it seems inevitable that public attendance at sporting events in the UK will be stopped within days.
As more players become infected, it will be impossible, and hazardous to players, to continue with football matches. Uefa must accept that the Euros should be postponed, you cannot have tens of thousands travelling across the continent, then home again. This competition is a crucial earner for Uefa and national associations; it will be a commercial washout if held this year. Better on all counts to re-schedule for 2021.
Domestic competitions, as well as the Champions and Europa Leagues, should be allowed to run into June – all behind closed doors.

Good morning, friends and a Big Happy Friday from a dry, calm but frosty East Kilbride. Hard to concentrate quite as much on the football with the more important issues that are, or are about to affect us all. However, a chance on Sunday to effectively wrap up the title – even with their infamous game in hand.
We have a 7-year-old at school here in Spain. As of Monday the schools are shut indefinitely.
I asked the headmistress yesterday if many kids were already being kept at home, she said “yes, including my own”.
Made me laugh. Why wait for official announcements? Anyone with half a brain cell would avoid going to Ibrox on Sunday.
Who heads up the PFA ?
Deniabhoy – 800 Spartans there to keep control.
You answered your own question about the rest visiting Ipox, 50,000 with a half a brain cell.
D. :)
Any oootcry aboot the hunned-up bottle thrower?
`Anyone with half a brain cell would avoid going to Ibrox on Sunday.`
Full house, then .
The League either comes to a conclusion with the current standings acknowledged or the games are played behind closed doors till the fixture list is completed.
To be clear, the seriousness of the viral situation will not stop the huns or thur supporter from turning the worst circumstances to their advantage.
Sorry David 66, just saw your post.
“Anyone with a hauf a brain”…………..
Zat no
The Club Deck…….?
I know some posters yesterday think this a paranoid thought but why is 500 the limit on Monday but 50,000 is OK on Sunday?
That ONE Sunday MASS gathering = ONE HUNDRED Monday MASS gatherings.
Anyway, off to the Golf for me. Life goes on ( Even though The Esatablishment`s favourite team got pumped last night).
Cheerio for now.
Mornin all – people’s lives v keeping the lives on at iPox – no contest in the ludge!
Lights on at ipox!

The SFA will probably use Covid as a reason to cancel the Scotish cup for this season and prevent us from achieving a quadruple treble.
In view of the Arsenal / Brighton postponement, what would happen if a player or member of staff from Celtic or them shows symptoms of Corona virus?
Just wondering.

Rankers awarded three points plus another three for their game in hand which they will get to keep!
CELTIC Football Club is delighted to announce that it has agreed a stunning new five-year partnership with adidas starting July 1st, 2020. adidas will become Celtic’s official kit supplier, covering both the men’s and women’s squads, in a deal which is believed to be the biggest kit sponsorship ever to be announced across Scottish sport.
adidas will create and manufacture first team kit, trainingwear as well as all supporter replica kits.
Treble Treble winners and current Premiership league leaders Celtic will be teaming up with the global leader in football. adidas is the official supplier of the most important football tournaments in the world, such as the FIFA World Cup™, the UEFA EURO 2020™ and the UEFA Champions League.
The sports brand already partners with some of the world’s top clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, FC Bayern Munich and Juventus.
Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell commented: “We are delighted to enter this new, long-term partnership with adidas, one of the world’s leading sports brands. We warmly welcome adidas to the Celtic Family and look forward to an exciting and successful partnership.
“We know through our discussions with adidas that they, as a prestige brand, were eager to be associated with a Club of Celtic’s stature and proud history – to be connected to the passion and commitment of our supporters and to Celtic’s wider vision and values.
“Likewise, everyone at Celtic is delighted to be partnering with one of the dominant names in sportswear manufacturing, an organisation which represents quality and excellence.
“This is a hugely significant new partnership for Celtic and our supporters and allows us to look to the future with confidence. To be able to create this fantastic new relationship demonstrates the strength and stability of the Club and the power of our enduring story.
“I would like to congratulate everyone at Celtic and adidas who have worked to deliver this fantastic new partnership between two of the world’s great sporting institutions, in particular, our Commercial Director Adrian Filby.”
adidas added, “Celtic’s successful football history and future ambition make us hugely excited to be working together to create a new chapter with one of the most famous football clubs in the world.
“We are obsessed with helping athletes improve their game, life and world and as such we look forward to supporting Celtic’s players on the pitch as they continue to create new levels of success, and we are confident their legendary fanbase will love our designs.”

Thanks for your very informative responses to my yesterday’s post about the virus situation.
‘Mohamed Elyounoussi’s hopes for Ibrox encounter’
A nice comfy seat on the bench, hopefully!

Moi’s a class act. Struggling to find his best form after a long injury but if he clicked on Sunday he’d tear them apart.

If it’s a Celtic player we will be made to play him..
If it’s a sevco player, they won’t have to play him but as they are all wurald beaters they can replace him with two players..
The above may not be true 😜

A big if…
He is struggling and on that pitch I wouldn’t risk starting him. Good option to have for later in the game.
