How's your footy team doing?

For those that are having withdrawal symptoms because there's no football going on perhaps they could sit down and enjoy The English Game on Netflix, about the start of professional football centre around Blackburn and Darwin.

Maybe this should be in the Entertainment Section.

My club are doing their best to keep fans interested by showing some recent matches in their entirety.

Ive enjoyed reliving a few so far from the promotion season and our first season in the greedy league.

Yesterday five of the first team did FaceTime chats with children who had a birthday or whose parents were key workers, mainly NHS.

The club have also posted articles highlighting the roles of members of the backroom staff.

Money talks and the EFL have told Clubs to pencil in 16th May as a date to resume training, in preparation for games behind closed doors.

Online comments about the proposals range from the serious [how often/what method of testing players, how will players be protected from the inevitable saliva discharge during play etc]; to the ridiculous [how will defenders stay 2 metres away from opposition forwards?] .

I'm proud to say that my team Aston Villa, pioneered the methodology about 4 seasons ago. Sice then, no Villa defender has got within 2 metres of an opposition forward in any game, hence the worst defensive record in the League. And there was me thinking it was because they're rubbish rather than trailblazers of a health initiative ....

Villa also pioneered an earlier initiative, by playing Lord Lucan at centre forward. He was able to avoid detection by failing to register on the scoresheet for 5 years ... But the Villa goalie should be safe from coronavirus because he hasn't caught anything for over 2 years.

Another vote for "The English Game on Netflix" as a Blackburn native who lived in Darwen as a child, it made me very proud, even if they did butcher history to make it a more interesting story.

BUMP !

I'd reply to that Brian but I'm not talking to you after your remark on another thread about the only good thing coming out of Yorkshire is the tea! 😀😀😀

only joking

Keep safe UTT Rog

Oh sorry, PG, No offence intended but I'm not sure if there are empty trains or busseseses 'eading this way these days .

Keep safe, keep joking  and , above all else, keep giggling !!

👍

I see that League 2 have decided that they would like to end the season now but that they want three teams promoted and no relegation.

If that isn't wanting your cake and eat it I don't know what is.🤓

What the 'eck do you expect, Rog    ?? They are FOOTBALL TEAMS  and they Always want more than is reasonable don't they !

And I am speaking as a full blooded Crewite !

Keep safe please.
