Shooters knowledge on this whole topic of football and Covid19 is unrivalled 

Those other leagues are not important enough though

[GiveItToTheShooters]

Are you saying all the leagues in England are being played/finished?

I'm saying they should be, as there is no reason not to play them, and as of now it looks like they will be played.

My point is simple, you can't just play the PL and f**k the rest, the reason why the other leagues might not be played out is logistics and money. Having it null and void won't work, collectively all round it helps teams that sit in relegation spots, unfair on Liverpool and the likes of Leeds and West Brom and so on.

Playing in closed grounds and neutral venues just won't be the same, for me restart the league when possible and play it when safe for fans to savour it.

The only other option is to finish as is on points and declare positions, obviously the only one would be games in hand, try and get them out of the way. But who's going to agree on anything that doesn't suit their own needs?

Can you imagine Liverpool agreeing to not finishing last season considering their position with City?

I didn't say play the PL and fk the rest, I said play them all.
Logistics and money? If the PL can be played, then so can the leagues below them, so that won't be an issue.
Playing behind closed doors will happen, as playing in front of crowds is a long way off.
So having said that, next month when things are a bit safer and they can put in place safety measures, then play the rest of the games off. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

Because the PL could run off games how does that mean the leagues below them can as well?

You answered your own question

You do know teams in the lower leagues dont have as much money as PL teams - which means the question still stands?

Do you think teams in the lower leagues can afford the testing that is done for every game?

Do you seriously think teams in the lower divisions are just going to sit idle and end up going out of business because the can't afford a few tests?
Yes, they will be able to cover the necessary number of tests to make sure games go ahead, in order to get their prize money at the end of the season.

Looks like League 2 clubs dont agree with your expert opinion and superior knowledge 

The meaningful games are still being played.

I told you at least twice that they should all be played

Went back to college as a mature student and that was the day I did my finals. I did what all students did and went on the lash with 9/10 like minded souls.... Anyway at half-time in the match I was feeling happy with life, the exams were in the bag and Liverpool were getting a pasting. I tipped out into the alleyway and lit, a very rare for me, cigar and savoured the moment just at that I received the fateful text. 'A great night for English football' from my housemate at home. I knew then it was in the stars that Liverpool would win. I rambled up to Paddy Powers to see what price Liverpool were and the miserable fcukers were only offering 14/1 and I never placed the bet.

The other cnut is still reminded of the text regularly. It was a good night though . 

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Got a text from a Galway mate at half time "ah well i guess donkeys dont win derbies"...first boy i phoned at the end. He hung up.

Jumped on plane next day for the homecoming, 2 great days on the beer. Was doing the anfield tour when the trophy arrived (on the Fri? cant mind) got me big head in the Echo with a few other randomers. Good times 😊

Coming home from a hurling match up the country, probably Minder's team as I don't think he was playing 

All the way home Liverpool was losing bitta banter with those Pool lads in the car, the boom it started, back at club and watched in disbelief! Fair fucks and all that!

I'd a work colleague Liverpool mad, lost the Bap at halftime took himself off the the driving range, left phone at house, no doubt didn't want tortured lol, his daughter came racing to the range to get him home at 3-3! No amount of stories on that night!

I remember THIS place the night of the match.

Certain United fans, most still with us, were a wee bit upset and bitter, to say the least!

Great match on ITV now

[Boycey]

It's amazing to think Liverpool have only won one and a half leagues since then *

The Gooners will have their thread up tomorrow remembering this night. The miracle of Anfield

I remember flying back home on the night of the 2005 CL final. Remember a wee TV in the waiting area, could hardly see anything, but at half time it was 3-0 and I thought, well I suppose I won't miss much in the second half while I'm in the air. Match as good as over.

Landed, and made it home avoiding final score. Knew the full match was on again later that night so thought, I'll stay up and catch the goals. Got into bed, and watched it get back to 3-3. Thought Liverpool were in the ascendancy and might win it, as plenty of time left. But once Dudek made that double save in ET, I says 'name on the trophy'. I just knew they weren't going to lose it.

Heard it said recently Milan better team most of the match. Liverpool were the best team for 6 minutes. But those 6 minutes were enough to win it. Can't remember if that was the case, but they won it anyway. Fair fucks, it's all about winning, no matter how it's done.

[Capt Pat]

That Milan team was some team as well a team of superstars at their peak with their only weak link being maybe the goalie Dida. How we got through it I don't know.

Did anyone else ever notice when rewatching it an ambulance going past behind the goals when Milan were taking one of their penalties?
