Exactly, so it's worth a read, really good writers. So check out the link is in the description below. Yeah, Bobby Barnes who is the Chief Executive of the PFA has spoken to the athletic and spoke about the possibility of playing games behind closed doors. He said when he moved to this with some high profile Premier League plays a few weeks ago there was no appetite for it. It's all players saying they didn't fancy it had seen our own players on Instagram and Bernard was more than a couple of others without the fans. 40 isn't anything, you've watched a couple of games in Europe without behind closed doors and they were terrible, no intensity. It was just horrible to watch. Obviously there's a lot going on in the world and 40 is irrelevant really but life does go on and 40 goes on. And there's also like the space to fill isn't it in terms of like in their head? Of course. Football is my feel, some of them my feel and I don't know how we spoke. But some of them my feel like I just want to play football because you're going to imagine it can. If that's your job and that's your passion I just want to get back on it. That's routine? Yeah and if there's no fans there it doesn't really matter because we'll be doing what we love. My lucker is that Alison's out in his garden with his Brazil top on scoring goals and celebrating. He's definitely one who's getting a bit of cabin fever. Andy Gomez is doing castaway videos and everything else and they're all coming up different. And it's difficult for them because some of them as well are like you know doing it in a different country. It's like a Moise Keane. Young lad in Italy is having a terrible time. What a man. He's a great man. He's a great man. You know his family are all in Italy and Italy is suffering from this and he can't go home and things like that. But listen before we start let's just make this clear. We are reacting to a story about it because people are obviously talking about it. People are reading the articles and you're watching this video aren't you? Because you want to get involved. There's a lot of people having to stay at home. My belief is you've got to have with everything else that's in front of you and some of it's horrific. You know we're all following those measures now to try to keep everybody safe for our families. You know we've got family members who will have to stay inside now for a period of time. But we're all looking for, well I am, I can only speak for myself. But sometimes it's good to have a diversion from it. Just have a little bit of normality I suppose. Listen a few weeks ago footballers being asked might have just gone no. Listen like all of us this thing has changed day by day. We know you hear things, you see, listen. We all knew this thing was coming but yet we didn't do anything about it. No one did anything about it. The average man couldn't have done anything about it but no one else did anything about it. So because of that it's been like oh it's this thing, it's this thing. And then it's almost gone boom it's here. So in the last few weeks football has stopped. I mean let's be honest last weekend we could have all been at stadiums. And the next day we went. And now we're all told to stay as far away from each other as we can. And we might never have an option soon. So it's changing day by day. So we're in football as mindies thinking no, don't want to be on closed doors because it'll be back soon before you know it. But that thing's sort of getting taken away from them now. So they're probably looking for a little bit of normality. Someone from the PFA is looking at it thinking well we don't get paid. Will he talk Bobby Bant? Talks about the contracts and talks about bonuses from TV and bonuses from playing and players have to adhere to their contracts. It's not that easy isn't it? There's a little bit of when you read the quotes there's a little bit of emotional blackmail shall we say or that's how it feels. It feels like you know well you've got a contract and if you don't honour it you're not going to be getting your money made. And of course the PFA make a lot of money by the way out of these players. But they'll be looking at it from the other angles as well and thinking if we want all the next TV deal to be as good as this one we've got to play ball with the people who honour it all. Even though the PFA distance themselves from the betting people you've got that as well. If there's sport, there's betting, there's money. Even from a social point of view there'll be some people out there soon saying if we can get football back and we can get two games a day on. Live, free to wear. Which is being muted at the moment. Free to wear keeps people at home giving something to their interests gives people something to talk about gives people something to bet about. It diverts also away from... People a couple of hours of... But imagine if they said well there's going to be two games a full three on a day you don't need to go out. It comes like a well cup. It's full three on telly. There's lots of things. I'm just reading stuff there. Apparently the Prime Minister's announcing a lockdown tonight. So it's going to be interesting certainly. Just quickly on that because it's very difficult but the actual schematics of playing those games on as easy as you think. You just think 22 lad will turn up on the ground and have a referee and off we go. The levels, the layers that are there is it. Even with all crowd. Think about the web of this and the interlocking connections of not only a squad of 18 all the people you see sitting on the bench they have to be there, the medics, the physios, the kitmen and all like. Coaches, the manager, both sides. Referee, three, plus one, the fourth official. Plus the people in the VAR room. I think they have a fifth official as well in case one of them goes down. Can't scrap the VAR. VAR, people in the VAR room. Loads of hard surfaces. You're going to have to clean all that. You're going to have to do all that. Then you've got all the other people who are involved. You have people like from Opter, the Premier League, all these things, you know, like when the subject thing comes up on, you know who the sub is. It's because there's a guy sitting in the dugout who gets the message, who gets to find out who the sub is before. And then that's for all. And then you've got obviously the rigors and the runners and the production team. Cameraman, people in the producers offices putting their all out. Stadium officers. Stadium safety. There has to be one ambulance there. What we've seen with Andre Gomez doesn't matter. There's no crowd there. You need an ambulance to take that play to the hospital. Then you're taking a player to a hospital that are already on lockdown because of the coronavirus. You're introducing a player into an environment that really you don't want him to be in. That's all spot on. I'm not even... I said to you, Adnaid, that the only way it works is if you're at each of these people, quarantined down, so like Everton, 25, 26 of them, took up residence. They didn't build that hotel now in Finchfam. Stayed at Finchfam, so de-cleaned. Everyone tested on day one and they all lived there. But that does that work because then every Premier League team has to do that. Then every referee, fourth official, fifth official, they have to then live together so that nobody's having contact. So you know that they're all clear. None of them have got the virus. None of the players have got the virus. So you're okay mixing with them. But those players, referees, coaching staff, can't go on to their families to play these games because this has been muted that it would be done in three or four weeks then these nine games, so to speak, would be done in that time. But this is so far reaching. People who can go on to their wives and their kids and come back into that environment because others that way. Is this just the Premier League? Is it the Championship? Is it League One? Is it League Two? Where does it stop? Because if we're talking about the Premier League and there's no Championship, how do we relegate teams and then if there's no one to come up? So therefore if we've got a competition where there's no relegation then suddenly those teams at the bottom have got three hits and essentially we're just playing games for the sake of it. But that's not a fair competition then because how do you look on the whole scale of the season? Suddenly if you're... I don't know, if you've already played Norwich twice, let's say and someone else was playing Norwich and you're like, well, when I played Norwich there was something on it now there's not, so we could do the team they're playing, it could go either way and go, sound lads, have a kick about today and they could go either way and no but you're taking the competition out of the game or you want teams really got a vested interest in the game then. Norwich aren't going to get into your ups today just like playing games for the sake of it if they're made up, they're staying up no pressure on them, the opposition team and then like you say other teams, teams like in the lower leagues Fleetwood Fleetwood can't self ice squat 26 men to go and live in a hotel and take over the hotel What about their ground? Surely after the game because there's been so many people through that ground that ground would have to be disinfected It would be clean there You know, who's going to pay for that? Unless you're on the flip side you're going to check every single play with a coronavirus test but what right do they have to have a coronavirus? That's what I'm saying in my mind that's the only way you can do it on both sides How dare they have a coronavirus test when we've got thousands of people who may be potentially ill and we need to find out whether they've got coronavirus to get them separated from other people Do you know what I mean? The logistics of it haven't been thought through and the only way and also the only time you could really do this is when we've got the curve under the line but then it's still then the biggest one for me is just straight forward like an ambulance How dare a football game how an ambulance but they've got to that by now I'm not saying you won't but I'm saying people like at NHS like direct to the health we won't be putting any of that stuff So what if someone breaks that then? Do you throw them in the back of someone's car? What I'm saying to you is when I brought my leg out of the car but I'm saying to you Dave Whelan there what I'm saying to you is I'm not saying it shouldn't be there and I'm not saying they wouldn't want it there I'm saying the public health department that's what I'm saying Exactly So when you look at all these things and suddenly you're just thinking to yourself I think we spoke off air before and you were saying what happens when they go home when they needed the ambulance a football player going into a hospital so it's both ways he could be taking anything in from the game or he's got a wound and you're walking into a hospital with a footballer and suddenly everyone goes this lad's got a broken leg well he's got a broken leg well he was playing football and you've got doctors and nurses with bloody lines mask marks on the face waking 12 hour days and suddenly a footballer swans in who happens to have a bad injury I appreciate that but a non-essential thing that he decided that he was going to do just because someone had either put pressure on him or he sported I personally, I can't see this happening any time soon even if it does because it's not important and as much as Phil Thompson Robbie Farley, Bleed Michael want to come and tell you but this is the problem though they come on and they bleed and they bleed about what Liverpool deserve because ultimately that's what it meant no but ultimately if it wasn't Liverpool no no forget Liverpool because this is Bobby Barth's so forget where the Liverpool get what they deserve put that to one side and there's some of the game itself on these behind closed doors I logistically don't see how they can do it I don't see how it can be done the only way you've mentioned this before is to play the nine games at the start of next season but then muscle injuries 47 games and then what happens when you play the ninth game you play the ninth game on what the Saturday and then the following Saturday week one of the new season which is mad trophies and if it does what happens to the contracts of the players what happens to the contract for the kit what happens to the contracts of the sponsors what happens to all these things that will have to be sorted out for the Premier League to play between June and July which again aren't important and not important imagine all that you're taking people away from self isolating or doing another job to come in and do this job why would you do that why would you do that it doesn't make any sense I'm seeing all this talking about the IOC or we don't know where to get rid of the Olympics because what you're saying in four weeks is that the athlete out of your time if you can't train madness the doctors have already said that footballers would need a good solid month of pre-season action before coming back if they wanted to play load of games in a small time so that means you couldn't cram games into them they've had longer than what a normal pre-season is anyway a while by a fat a stretch and then on top of that they're then going to be playing these games that are supposedly mean and sudden because the league games you know what the first four or five pre-season friendlies are like normally they're terrible because the players are like I'm just getting used to playing again you can't have players another way and it's not actually like the Liverpool situation that's the real issue Liverpool will win the league the first game or the second game it's all that other stuff it's the relegation zone that really matters which could mean if it's sort of rushed could actually mean millions of pounds it's a mash of impact and argue more possibly it's even would have more impact than Liverpool winning it Liverpool are a mash of club Liverpool aren't going nowhere Addy they're a big club getting better and better but for someone like Aston Villa or Brighton who are slipping teams like Barrett would mean ridiculous amount you know 150 million quid or something also what about the impact of having a home advantage well that's gone isn't it other teams have had it all season there isn't importance but we just hope we don't have a theatre Barrett because Bobby Barnes is basically saying the players have to do it because of the contracts so let us know what you think in the comments section below do you see any way that it can come back and so how does that logistically fit into the timescale in terms of like a knock on for next season as well because I personally don't think it should be at the expense of next season because we've got a lot of things that roll on from there don't forget check the athletic out the link is in the description go and have a look we're all self isolating or working from home or whatever so you might have
