I'll play and raise you this from Preston...



MDMA and herpes.

Look at you lads just rating the women and ignoring the music. Absolute state of you philistines.

The first one comes from a fairly well-known gabber event up north somewhere IIRC (yeah, I can identify it even in gif form with no music). And the second is another northern promo for late-'00s Scouse house B2B bounce with a lot of bounce/donk remixes of classic Eurodance and golden-era club tunes. Both great sets!

Wouldn't have minded going to either one, though I'll wager good money that I wouldn't have looked half as stupid as some of these mashheads (get a load of the beanpole in the tank top!). This is why I ration my MDMA in the rave -- or don't use it at all.

Not sure if it would require a lot to do so or the legalities but would it really take longer than a week? If not and the National League keeps running I think it would favour all but then again I ain’t a logistics type person who understands about the ability to based on manpower, contracts required, health and safety etc.

Also I'm pretty sure all of the National League teams have contractual filming capabilities. I know for a fact that a lot of them film every game for highlights videos and can accommodate a full media team for FA Cup games. My local perennial National League side does this: we were broadcast at home against some PL juggernaut a few years back. And like I said, I'm pretty sure they all at least have the ability to do so.

The latter is true the infrastructure for E-Football is already in place

Yeah but still... :mourlmao:



I won a little bit of money playing semi-pro FPS a long time ago, before e-"sports" was a "real" "thing". It was fucking bizarre to me then and it's fucking bizarre to me now. Needless to say, I have a lower opinion of it than most random members of the public.

Something has to change from this...

Premier league footballer gets 80k a week for kicking a ball about.

A research scientist gets 28k a year........

Any one looking down on our societies from above would be convinced we were mad!

But we never question the ridiculousness of it.

It's about the money and revenue these clubs make. If your employer makes 100s if millions and you are one of the reasons why, why shouldn't you expect a slice of the pie. Unfortunately there's plenty more research scientists then star footballers. I agree with you tho. If no footballer earned over a 100k a year, then changing clubs would make no difference.

I totally understand the economics of it and I'm just using footballers as an example.

It is a crazy distribution of wealth though....... And it only really got bad from the late 90s in football when clubs realised that they could fleece fans and treat them like idiots and we'd still come running.

That and globalization of the EPL - bigger pot.
 
I know three people who have been infected so far. Two have recovered, the other girl just tested positive today. The girl is in London, the other two a couple I know in Bali. They left here why I am last month in Chiang Mai Thailand and they though they were getting away from it..
 
From today BJ conference, there won't be football for months. Probably the earliest would be August 2020 if we are lucky.
 
The only way they finish this season is behind closed doors.

Void and football starting back up in early October at this rate, scrapping the League Cup to free up dates.

My parents had the 2nd world war which probably killed more than this pandemic did.

My grandparents had the first world war (which killed millions) and the flu epidemic of 1918/19 (killing circa 50mm worldwide, 220,000+ in UK)

So having avoided 2 world wars probably no surprise something else nasty has loomed for those currently alive.

Did the Asian Flu have any impact? Don't here people talking about it.

I reckon next season will start pretty much on time. Coronavirus will still be around but I think society would have moved on to a phase of adapting to its existence

Even if there isn't a vaccine until January/February 2021, I tend to agree. Vulnerable populations will likely remain under some sort of quasi-quarantine until then, but given the disastrous response to this pandemic, many MANY people will have caught it and gained a level of immunity to it in the future (or, unfortunately, passed away from it).

There is also a chance that existing drugs can mitigate the effects of the virus in between now and the end of the summer - and Australian company is apparently trialing something like this at the moment on humans. Five months from now the globe will be on the down slope of the infection curve and the chances of the medical system being overrun will be much lower. The biggest risk is the virus mutating and becoming different and more deadly in the fall.
