The Bear Posted 21 May 2020 Share Posted 21 May 2020 Probably because people are going out more because of the relaxed restrictions and the good weather. Which means there's a good chance of a rise in cases/deaths in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanys went back down...0.89, went up to 1.3 before the last weeks relaxation... Looking at These changes in R-numbers,to try and make or support any train of thought is a waste of time.... A few days,or weekly bounces,will Not yet give us any trends that shows any reliabilty towards deciding comparable future paths,its just too early...

It’s going to bounce around for a while now, and will probably be doing so for a number of years, which is fine, it’s the mass outbreak they want to avoid again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really annoys me when the few who are lucky enough to go to games in person, think that the rest of us should be deprived of our weekly entertainment and escape, just because watching behind closed doors football on TV is not as good as going in person. We know that perfectly well, thanks. Isn't everyone being deprived of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 22 May 2020 Share Posted 22 May 2020 1 hour ago, Cardiff_Fox said: Which would have meant the players training during the peak period in the UK Good point. I guess it depends whether you think players training or playing is higher risk, as potentially most training can be done with social distancing but games can't. Either way we probably have at least 4 weeks before any potential second wave starts to kick in. I really hope we manage to see it through to a restart, but whether numbers will stay low enough for the 6 weeks or so it would take to finish the season, I'm not so sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a lot of Newcastle ones won't, although I imagine there are also many who won't support the club with them in charge. Maybe it starts with opposing fans holding up banners against the Newcastle owners at every game they play. Or away fans boycotting St. James's Park. Or 90 minutes of booing every time a Newcastle player touches the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then it needs to be scraped because the precedent they are setting by approving this guy means nobody could ever stopped from buying a football club in the future. Apart from the terrible human rights record in his own country it is widely accepted that he was behind a state sponsored assignation on foreign soil.

Guest Markyblue Posted 23 May 2020 Share Posted 23 May 2020 I think it's fair to say the whole fit and proper person thing is a load of bollocks. These people literally kill people they disagree with and they are going to run a premier league club, not because they are into football but it legitimizes them, absolutely shamefull .
