The Cobra effect

[Deeping Pilgrim]

I am considering the dubious possibility that it’s the monkey in Africa to blame. He gets the blame for most things so why not this, despite the fact he hasn’t been to China.
As for controlling crowds at sporting events, I have a season ticket so will be ok. Anyway providing everyone stays 2 yards apart should be ok as well. Will certainly make the ground look full. 🤧

I blame it on Brexit, and if it's not that it's definitely Global Warming 

Greta Thunberg will probably blame it on the inconsiderate older generation polluting the air with their coughing and spluttering. 

[Oops]

Monkeys, Brexit, climate change, Greta Thingamebob and the older generation. That must be enough to have a referendum. And if that doesn’t go our way we can winge winge and winge even more until we get the culprit we want.

The Chief Scientific Officer, and the Chief Medical Officer, have figured out that if thousands of people gather together for a couple of hours it will not make any difference to the spread of the virus.
46 other countries, and the WHO, disagree with them 

[Dipdodah]

All professional matches off.  How does that effect us?

No mention of suspending non league games on Sky News, so it looks like Amity Island beach is still open for business. 
Herd immunity is the goal according to the chief science officer, so a generation of golden oldies become shark bait

Weed us old buggers out, we've served our purpose.

Blimey, I could have the entire Spayne Road terrace to myself by the end of the season then (if the season is allowed to finish).

According to National League website it's game on this weekend.

GAME OFF

[The Smoke Monster]

If the game's off, does this mean we count as “elite football”?

Chester FC have postponed this unilaterally. The "guff" is about protecting their local supporters. Really??? I believe an examination of their injury/suspension list might possibly reveal the true reason. They were beaten by league whipping boys Bradford PA in their last fixture. Their management team are, how shall I put this, street-wise. No doubt Craig will voice no criticism. He loves all the opposing dug-outs.

UTP

Emergency legislation next week to ban all gatherings of 500+ people.
They were talking about this over two weeks ago, but decided to listen to the science. Now that events are driving policy, it looks like the herd immunity experiment could be shelved in favour of lock down, maybe two weeks too late. 
As far as football goes there's going to be so many people self-isolating soon you'd struggle to get a five a side game on.

Especially when the NHS are handling out 2 week sick notes with no consultation, have you been to Italy? "Yes" here is a sick note!
No evidence of travel required,  l bet that won't be taken advantage off.

If they've called it contrary to National League policy, then surely they should forfeit the match.

[Oops]

Good point. If they are contravening fa rules then they should forfeit the points. If they already have a case of Corona in the camp I can understand it but without that I think they are technically in the wrong.
