It certainly has been the one big bonus of coronavirus, no sport! I can live with that the endless praise of a bunch of tossers who have never done a days work in their lives

Yes...


But in the same breath, I play a sport at local/club level. The season, competitions are as much about socialising as it is anything else. The team (4 of us) are close and the banter on and off the ice with the other teams and clubs is brilliant...

The season was cut short, but our games were pretty much finished. I really hope our level can get up and going again for the coming season. It's the only thing that gets me out of the house on a week night through the winter.

Seriously good for you, I have all the time in the world for local sport, but cannot stomach the endless adulation of the so called heroes at the top of the sporting pole, sucking every last penny out of the game they represent

To be fair, I think that's a bit hard on the players. Blame the millions of people who pay their subscription to watch them on the idiot box. It is the TV money that has thrown football out of kilter with the real world. Until Sky etc came along, clubs existed largely on what was paid at the turnstiles, and the players were aware of that direct connection and would be seen by the fans as 'one of their own'.
Young lads want to be a footballer today for the same reasons they always have done. Giving a 20 yr old 50k a week is asking for trouble in any walk of life. As I say, blame those who give him the £50k, the armchair fans.

748 premier players tested , 6 were positive , end of season .....

6 positive tests not all were players though. Testing was done before they returned to training so they've to isolate. The same number of positive tests the Germans had so why can't the league restart?

UFC is the only live sport on at the moment

Didn't some ufc take place in on a small island to get around the lockdown rules?

If the risk from 6 positive tests is too much why did the German league restart?

The Germany football authorities have throughly tested there players, I'm not sure how many are positive for the virus.

There was 6 positive tests in Germany same as the premier league

Sorry I didn't know that, well it's up to the fa and the uk government then.

Here is 1 for non football fans as tax payers, your tax money goes on the police having to be outside the ground to keep fans away.

Do like iron mike Tyson ?

He was a monster in his prime. I recall Frank Bruno saying that Tyson gave a little mew before he hit Bruno with the winning punch.

Remember watching Ali fights in the 70s when the heavyweight division was in its prime.

Give me Fury over Joshua any day now
