UEFA has left it to the individual leagues to decide their own order of merit. If it wasn't for television revenues they would all have closed down for the year.

I heard last night that either the J League or the K League were starting up again in the next few weeks. No crowds of course but wait for it... players will not be allowed to talk on the pitch !!!

    This is NOT sport related at all, but it IS virus related in as far as being a distraction from the mundane, that will waste just one hour of your life.  I'm only posting here because there seem to be fewer and fewer entering the General Discussion forum since bare knuckle political infighting was, understandably, frowned upon. I hope the Admins see fit to allow this (if not, please feel free to delete - or alternatively, move it to be a standalone post of its own ?).

    Anyway, to the reason for my post.  A few friends and myself have thrown a band together for a live stream from Sydney's Zen Studios next Sunday (10th May) from 3-4pm.  The band is called Los Tromeos & the Branch Covidians and we will be playing a bunch of rough and ready, raucous even, country and rockabilly type tunes.  And to make it releavant, two of us are Demons tragics. Here's a link to the Facebook Event if you would like to signify your interest (assuming there is any)...

    Liverpool players took a knee around the centre circle at Anfield in a message of support following the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis.

    Just a nice touch to this,  in support of many opressed peoples around the world really.

    No I am not.

    What the police officer did was disgraceful and he should be tried for murder and the others that were there should be charged with accessory .

    There are lot of deaths caused worldwide by Governments and authorities of various countries to all races of people and nothing gets said.

    Regardless of that, the current protests focus on the BLM movement.

    It would be good if it was just a protest, but I would not call what is happening a protest more like anarchy fueled by groups with other agendas.

    Like the peaceful sign that read yesterday in Sydney " A good cop is a dead cop "


    any protest that breaks virus lockdown rules is just plain selfish and downright dangerous to the general public

    there are millions of other ways to protest

    Yeah, total anarchy by vested interest groups that have nothing to do with what happened to George Floyd. You can protest without violence, looting, arson and whatever else.

    Do you think they care about CoVid right now,  when ANother black person has been Killed whilst in custody.    He didn't die.    He was killed.    And arrested firstly in a racist fashion.

     

    These people ARE,  fighting for their lives. 

    How many do you imagine...  have taken their own lives,  due to racisms, over the years.?

    As a White Citizen it is very easy to say that...

    The Current President has been putting out Fires ? with Gasoline since Charlotteville. Where he would not condone the KKK

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
