| The title of this thread is rather apt
Not proud of it but broke the social distancing rules by going for leg-over with one of the barmaids out of our local last night.
Didnt help that I had a tickly cough cos Id slung a packet of Lamberts down my neck whilst sat in my garden in the afternoon sun.
We'd been giving each other the eye before the lockdown and I'm f00ked if I was hanging around until pub opens again.
It could be Xmas!
Oh, and the alcohol abstention went out the window as well.
Litre of vodka followed by a couple of bottle of wines.
Well, if your gonna get back on it you might as well do it properly.

| I watched a documentary on Iplayer about Steve McQueen and the Le Mans film, his ego carried the production without a script for so long that when they eventually had a script to shoot they had to paint the leaves green because the season had changed. The lack of script and trail of destruction reminded me of something that is happening right now but in that instance he was following the art.

| That is a big IF and if true why will they not release the minutes of the meetings which would show his positive contribution.

Now do you see why I singled out these two clubs ?
The immediate future doesn't look great for any spectator sport but, travel between different countries will take longer to sort out than any domestic travel, especially as far as spectators are concerned.

There will not be any spectators at sports events during 2020 - all sport will be played - if at all behind closed doors

The point still stands, unless of course, you know when all restrictions will be lifted.
Unless these 2 clubs relocate to the UK, the players and staff may also have difficulties travelling, without quarantine rules etc.
The one certainty is that people will be able to travel in their own country sooner than there will be "free" travel inter country.
There could also be issues for Toronto players, traveling in their "home" country of Canada, as none of them actually live there

| Coronavirus in a nutshell in the current Q&A.
Question comes from Cornwall - [iHoteliers and others fear they will lose the whole season if they do not reopen by July. What can you do to help?[/i
Followed up by - [iSir Patrick Vallance hinted this week that some areas of the country might come out of lockdown sooner. If that were to happen, what help would the police get to deal with the influx of people?[/i
I can see a BIG problem here.

Neither club brings very many supporters to games here - I don't see that as a problem.
I don't see how you can have a competition if one of the sides cannot play - it is unrealistic to expect players to be away from their families for months on end. If one player in a squad gets it does that mean the whole squad has to have 14 days off plus any teams they have played against?

You dont half talk some cr@p.
What about supporters travelling to the games in France or Canada or, more importantly, the players and staff form the clubs involved.
If they cant compete and a decision is taken to carry on with out them, toe ensure no loss of Sky TV cash, their results thus far would have to be scrubbed and them not participating may help the rest make it to the end of the season ??
All conjecture though, as there will very likely need to be a decision mad as to whether it's possible for the comp to start back up behind closed doors, something that most if not all clubs were against.
Mind you, with options extremely limited, this may still be the best/only option.
