    Would’ve been the best title for a long time aswell this one. But obviously life is far more important than football. Surely we can wrap it up in next couple of weeks if we beat Sevco on Sunday?

    Would be a terrible decision to suspend the league completely IMO.

    Far from ideal but I’d much rather see the remaining games played behind closed doors.

    Will be raging if we miss out on 9 because of this!

    We won’t miss out on 9. The league will just be suspended at worst, for maybe a month. Season will probably go into June which wouldn’t be be a bad thing, always wanted summer football.

    Its more next season im worried about. You cant imagine that everything will be fine again by July.

    I could actually see there being no club football next season and they will be able to play the Euros at some point.

    Think thats the kind of stuff which will be brought up at the UEFA meeting with all the Leagues, they will cancel the Euros and maybe allow the current season to stretch on indefinitely with no transfer window until things calm down enough then if it turns out its like October or November or that before things calm down they'll just miss a club season and reschedule the Euros, Euros could be in like Novemeber or March or any time.

    Can't see that at all mate, many clubs would go to the wall throughout Britain if that happened

    Yeah totally agree with you on next season, who knows? If that’s the case and there is no club football next season it will put a lot of clubs out of business.

    But how will they be able to start next season if fans might not be able to go to games for months?

    There will likely be further clamp downs as well, like next month they might ban travel between countries and all that.

    Suppose we just need to wait and see but I doubt it will be over and done with in 2 or 3 month. The height of it might be in 2 or 3 month.

    You would think this is AIDS the way * are going on, the people that have died have all had underlying health issues.

    Nothing will be scrapped all leagues will be suspended for a few weeks. They cannot just scrap league championships and competitions.

    I’m fairly calm about it at the moment but as soon as a footballer dies from it then my knickers will start to turn more brown by the hour.

    Then the elderly/underlying conditions debate will be blown out water.

    I think that's the concern though mate, me the kids and wife will be fine, but it's my wee mam who has a heart condition and dad with cancer are the ones I'm worried for.
