RIP Peter.

To be honest you'd be better off wiping your arse with the pot noodles and eating the socks. Far more nutritious.

That this came when we were on such a good run and brimming with confidence is a blow for us. In some ways it will help a few players like Kelly and Mccallum who were starting to look jaded. However, even though training is still (presumably) going on (and even if it stops you'd hope players...

Really hope that virus doesn't last long on surfaces! If not your house should have an armed guard on it!

Indeed. He can be a shifty little god.

Hope it eases off soon. Allthe best.

I agree this does feel like one of those things that will alter the life we lead after the event, like post 9/11. I certainly think we'll see more WFH as it's been shown to be feasible in certain sectors. However one thing that will take a lot of time to see the effect of is on mental health...

Trouble is the people that aren't valuing his efforts are those that set his workload and pay him. And they seem to not give any value whatsoever to it. I'd love that to happen but it never does. WWI and the soldiers went out as heroes with promises of housing and being looked after on their...

It's a big distinction isn't it - saying the grades they NEED, not necessarily the grades they DESERVE.

I agree - it seems even the government now consider schools a glorified childminding service

Point was that organisations want to be seem to be decisive and dynamic by setting arbitrary deadlines but when it comes down to it they climb down and kick the can along the road. This situation will be no different IMO. Difference is of course player contracts ending usually at the end of...

Europe was committed to getting brexit done by numerous agreed dates. End up with numerous extensions. If push comes to shove they'll revise the date to be later on I'm sure.

They could do a contagion version of Supermarket Sweep. Aim is just to find anything on the shelves and take it.

Literally a Hunger Games edition

Seems massively unfair and unworkable. I think it needs to be asked of the head to change this to get those self-isolating to share the workload if they aren't going to/can't shut the school. Otherwise you're going to have the rest of you of with stress and fatigue regardless of the virus. It...

It's a tastier alternative I reckon

I think Piers would benefit more from going to school.

Forgive me if this is ignorant or stupid, but if some of those teachers at home are just self-isolating as a precaution they're still able to work. Why aren't they being given the task of setting work for self-isolating kids/marking etc? Surely those in the school covering for them have enough...

That's a big problem when you've got countries which are highly religious. You can use all the science and expertise you want, but all they'll think is "pray to God and all will be fine". Then when they have far worse death tolls it'll be because closing the places of worship angered God and...

There are some people who don't see a school as a place of learning but just childcare for while they're at work.
