The world needs to man up. Aye right, I can just see you staying in the house and missing a game... I was coughing and spluttering at Stennie on Saturday. I'm now just coughing but I still plan to be doing it at Cliftonhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these people squeaking about stopping work etc etc would be singing a different tune if all the TV stations, supermarkets, public transport etc closed down.

All evidence suggests that the world is not about to "man up" as part of its COVID-19 response. I now expect this season not to finish - at least not this season. No idea how that would be managed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I wasn't clear; the jessies wanting games off can stay in the house. The real fans will be battling the virus head on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People cough and splutter every year; they should stay in the house which is no different to what should be happening now. The world needs to man up.It’s not that simple unfortunately. It’s the vulnerable (people with pre existing conditions) who can catch a deadly virus from people who have decided that they should “man up”. People are dying from this virus which is spreading very quickly. Are you telling them to man up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilianlex Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think the league season will end before saturday. f**k knows how you sort out promotion and relegations ! leagues all round Europe are cancelling or suspending leagues. cant see how many clubs at our level will survive. Players still have to be paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryHill Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 In typical Cowden fashion Saturday will be the last game of the season actually played, we will fall out the top four and the table will be taken as is. Textbook. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read some of the posts on here people are saying we need to man up and carry on. I would say that’s the height of irresponsibility if not being selfish. Two members of my family have COPD. I am so concerned. If they get this virus, well...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that’s the height of irresponsibility if not being selfish. Two members of my family have COPD. I am so concerned. If they get this virus, well...... I quite agree. Although that is a natural attitude with other viruses and it is a very difficult attitude to change. I just hope beyond hope that this one disappears as quickly as it arrived with the onset of warmer weather . I very much doubt it though as there seems to be more about this virus than the authorities are prepared to tell us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
