    Match Thread Preston

    FFS, how on earth are we two down in this game. Its hard enough in this division without making mistakes that gift the opposition goals. Given our goalscoring record there's no chance of even getting a point now from a game we should be winning.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Wasn't really suggesting that it was possible for everyone if they close schools tomorrow, just wondering how people who home school in non-pandemic times manage it.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    This sort of thing won't help. If you look on the Welsh government site it states "people must stay at home, except for very limited purposes", then read to the bottom of this article where there's a Welsh chap saying people are sticking to the rules as they are only travelling to places up to...

    Not for a moment suggesting that its a viable option but home schooling is a thing even when we're not in a pandemic isn't it? What do they do about getting kids through exams, surely you can't just decide your kids aren't following the national framework and won't learn the usual curriculum &...

    Postponed Matches investigation

    The initial failed tests were two named players, Jesus and Walker, and two staff. The additional failed tests just said after testing players and staff which makes me wonder if any additional players were ruled out.

    Season Curtailment

    Wasn't the vote they had to amend the regulations last season a permanent rule change to cover something similar happening in the future? Sure from now on it needs 51% of clubs to vote to end the season and then its decided on unweighted PPG. Don't recall anything in there about a minimum...

    Postponed Matches investigation

    Same with concussion substitutes, happened in cricket already. India's Jadeja injured his hamstring batting against Australia but continued, later got hit on the head, still kept batting and made 44 from 23 balls, out of a total of 161-7. In the break before Australia batted he was substituted...

    Season Curtailment

    Surprisingly enough despite Orient having to forfeit against Spurs in the same competition Man City won't have to forfeit if they can't play against Man Utd, the game will be rescheduled.

    The NHS rollout plan has capacity for one million a week subject to supply. The plan itself is detailed down to the last second. It has those administering the vaccinations working in teams of two so as not to lose time while PPE is being changed between patients. It even details having a...

    Hopefully someone that knows what they are on about will be able to go over the actual agreement and come up with a nice summary of what we've gained and / or lost as I don't particularly trust any of the statements flying around at the moment.

    Devil will be in the details. Hopefully some good news in there. The worst case scenario is Johnson having basically backed down on everything but from some reports that seems a distinct possibility. Although it shows how low the bar now is that we're praising any deal being done, that's a long...

    There was a doctor on the radio months ago who named three common conditions that in general didn't impact day to day life but would be considered an underlying condition, claimed you were talking about well over half the population with just those (was being overweight, asthma and something...

    Needs a lot more work but there are studies out there that show a decent percentage of asymptomatic cases have heart and lung damage after recovery. How that will impact on long term health is an unknown at the moment.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Depends who you want to believe, either a PR stunt as there's no staff or not needed as hospitals haven't been overwhelmed. There was a press report months ago that hospitals in London had been referring patients only to be turned down. Think it might have been the Guardian. They claimed to...
