 Welcome to Toffy TV today. I am joined by Sarah Halpin on the Skype. Social distancing. Yes she is. How are you kid? You alright? This is the routine of it and stuff. Missing football like crazy as we all are, but no it's nice to see you boys, I've missed you. Wot e'r light looking out your door and seeing Goddison Park and not being able to go in and watch the footage mad, isn't it? On a weekend you lose track of the days but I'll catch myself going for a little mooch or something to Stanley Park or whatever from a daily walk. I'll think oh God it's Saturday like four o'clock or something like that. I'm thinking God you should be in there right now, half time having a pie in that and watching our blue boys but it seems like a distant memory doesn't it at the moment. So it's a very surreal feeling being so close and yet so far. It's so weird isn't it? Obviously we've never known anything like this. I keep trying to tell myself subconsciously it's the end of the season and it's the off season as people call it. Something simple like I had a Google calendar on for what we were doing this week for Toffee TV and all the games were in and it was like home to Southampton this weekend and I was like what oh yeah because you said like kind of living your life by who we've got next oh that fixes there and that fixes there and then to see kind of to see like the Southampton thing and be like I'll start who we are this week yeah of course it's like it's so weird. It's so weird and I think it's the not knowing as well isn't it? It's not like you go and we'll start again on June the first and you can't really work on up to that. We don't know anything. People are guessing at the all the time. Yeah I was making it the hardest as you rightly say is that if we had a date look as you said June the first you'd go okay it's over a month away but we've got that to look forward to we've got that feeling of excitement. We know that we're counting down to something but you know I think at the moment they're suggesting June or I think but who can know and if they're going to be fans it'd be hard to imagine that if they're wanting to do it behind closed. None of us have a clue what the outcome is going to be. Is the season going to finish? Is it not? And yeah it'd be nice to have some clarity but I guess at the moment there's just no way anyone can really provide that but just on you saying about what fixtures we're going off you know that's how we live our lives who we've got next week and the way who's on next home and all this whenever I go on the website now it's driving me mad that it's like the last fixture and it's a 4-0 to Chelsea it winds me up every time it's just there like it's got on me so long things have been good and then we went out with a stinker didn't we but you know hopefully when it does though. Yeah definitely and now it is an annoyance isn't it the last memory of us playing was that woeful performance but as I look at it and just think it's given him it's given him time to reassess that performance and look at players and stuff and listen obviously he's got to do other things with his life as well like we all have and football isn't important but he is working he's working every day and it'll give him you know I always look at it and say use it to the advantage so have a look and see what we need and why were we so bad that day why were they able to run through our midfield I think we know why but you know things like that and it highlights everything I suppose doesn't it but it is such a strange time I mean have you been coping with obviously not being able to go and see your family and everything has it been tough for you on a personal level? Yeah I mean I miss my family like mad which is great then via FaceTime and stuff same as my mum and sister but obviously they're a way away in the Midlands I'm a little dog Dixie and I'm missing them because obviously in this time we've had mother's day it was my sister's weekend there but you know our family and Anne? Yeah listen it's a challenge but it's a small challenge compared to what other people are going through and obviously we want that day when we can go across the road from yours and back into that stadium which seems a long way off at the moment I mean what you thought on the game returning in terms of obviously the talking about June and things like that and it seems bizarre at the moment I think but it's going to return behind closed doors isn't it there's no other way it's not as if they're going to go evidently playing on June 10th and you know you can go back to your seats and all that that's not happening is it so it's going to be weird isn't it watching games behind closed doors far away in the scheme of freeing it to then go yeah everyone so yeah you're right I think of it so it's a real shame sitting on a wooden seat well that's the just soaking all in that's when we'll know that we've determined to a bit of normality when we are able to go and watch it it will be so strange because I don't see us being allowed back in stadiums till at least September maybe even October and that's mad when it's only April to say that but I just can't see it at the minute that view might change in 4, 6, 8 weeks I don't know but it just seems a mile away at the minute but it'll be so weird watching, are you right me and Pedda have discussed this a few times we've watched the brush your Dortmund game against Paris Saint-Germain behind closed doors and it was just such a it was such a weird like you say, pre-season friendly type game it was no intensity in it it was a Champions League second leg Dortmund winning 2-1 PSG beat them and it was so flat and I just can't I can't envisage watching Everton in a Premier League game in them circumstances what that'll feel like how emotionally you'll feel with it because it'll be Everton and you'll have watched pre-season games with not many people there I mean we were in you know me and Pedda were in Switzerland and there was about I don't know 500 people maybe at the game and you know it's a pre-season game your mindset isn't Premier League or a Cup game so it'll be weird to see anti stadiums with games that actually mean something to Everton if you know what I mean if we were to be chasing European football if that's even a thing next season it'll be so strange won't it it'll be weird if it's at a bottom but was the Derby wasn't it a goodness so imagine seeing the Derby at the end true we were seeing massive improvements fighting for stuff even from you know if we can put a bit in the society for a sec which is difficult from Liverpool like Liverpool's perspective I mean if it comes back and they will do they're going to be given the league title in an anti stadium there won't be any parades because they won't be allowed so for them it took them 30 years to win it it'll be even though they will be champions in name it's going to be so strange isn't it and you rightly say with like people who are getting promoted into the Premier League will be weird people who are relegated needing that big victory on the last day or wherever and it's in an empty stadium where normally the crowd drags you through that empty stadium you know I said on another video me and Pedd have said this man city will probably win every game because they're the best team so without any outside influences from crowds or wherever no one can get near them the way they play their football it's going to be such a strange strange time isn't it yeah that's a really interesting point actually because I'd be interested to see how everything would go you know in the recent years where things have been really quite toxic that's been a hindrance to us but then of course when we're up for it we need no doubt on to get victories and stuff and yeah if Liverpool will win it it's going to feel as you said such a huge thing 30 years without a league no fans and breaking for them but from a women's perspective obviously you're heavily involved in of the women's game doing great things for women's football and representing us as well how are they finding it for them they just had quite a big quite a big event in the history of it they even just moved to their own paper stadium in Waltonall Park and he'd had a game or two at home and then all of a sudden this has stopped as well so you know I'm guessing for the likes of Willie Keirkin and his team they sat around in Limbo as well and a little bit disappointed that it's being taken away from them but also how has the training effect on them today just having to do maybe what the men's team are doing is that similar or is it being cancelled because I know lower down the ladder the women's game decantled the leagues having the stuff where are we up to with the women's super league well I think with the women's super league to be honest we'll probably follow suit with whatever like the top tiers of the men's games do so I think it's going to be more of a wait and see hopefully we do get to complete the season but we'll just have to wait and see it because we had the FA cup quarter final to look forward to in the new home against Chelsea the goodest and part Darby was going to take place which you know from a selfish point of view as well I said this as a fanatic Evertonian so we've been able to be a part of that day and go through the like the back were giving me stick and laughing because when the first I was like I probably was I've got a really good crowd there for the game against Manchester United then have a kick around obviously keep positive, keep themselves super fit and healthy so what have you been doing away from going for your walk to keep yourself occupied what are you watching are you coping with your Netflixing it or what are you getting through it's on my list not what's that one it's about a million here I watched the English game which was really good and it's written by Sam Hoare who's an Evertonian actor he's not anybody wrote he wrote episode 4 so that's it's quite good it's really good about obviously the English game and how things are done and how the FAR it's quite it's really interesting the class struggle and stuff but it's really good so yeah watch it when you're away don't put it on and go obviously that's never good no definitely not just finish the likes of Laia and stuff like that and I've been watching I've got Disney Plus so I've been watching Disney Films to make me smile a lot of what's on with last night what's on with last night which is the latest Disney film which is brilliant but not as cheerful as the other ones but it's still brilliant just me and my younger sister on whatsapp and she was like I've just downloaded Disney Plus and she sent us the login and I was like lover the Mandalorian see what I mean I don't know what I'm doing you've got to watch it Togo as well on Disney Plus about a dog oh my god it's incredible it's a film it's absolutely brilliant William Defoe's in it yeah but it was it's amazing it's a true story 1925 I think it's it's from the story but it's incredible honestly just watch it it's amazing it's a brilliant film what's that the other day it's really good so you've just got to do what you're doing to get through haven't you simple as that's it like meditating that's the basically you can get so caught up in your head you know me bars like we chat as well and call some signs of bad the overthinking getting myself anxious and stuff do it we'll keep doing more of that cos it does help and you write it you know it is it's tough it's tough what's going on out there but you know you can get wrapped up in it too much and that can obviously affect your mental health as well so it's important that you're exercising and important that you do your meditation or whatever it is that you do a bit of yoga it's good very good for you well yeah but that's what exercising is Sarah it's hard work if it was just sitting on a couch eating cakes called exercise we'd all be doing it all day everyday cos it was no cakes that's why yeah now it is ok good do whatever you listen you look after yourself first keep
