I remember bears trying all sorts of guises to get into the game, journos/reporters etc. Inter were going out in the Semi Final so they started firing fireworks at Dida if I remember rightly.

I believe there may be insurance liability in place for such an eventuality however I think things will go further than just ‘behind closed door’ games. At the point the integrity of SPFL teams become compromised with players becoming ill or self isolating (which I think is inevitable) I think serious consideration has to be given to voiding the season.

Not sure what the script is for pandemic events though. I never knew there was such a thing, suppose it usually covers fire/flood etc, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, found it, was against Atalanta at the San Siro. That was at another Derby in 2001. Although Inter fans tried again to do it against Atalanta a few years back.

The bells weren't very loud so he decided to take big runs at the big bell thumping his head on it., First few times it worked, third time he slipped and smacked his face across the bell with a loud clang, and skidded out the gap. plunging in to the River Seine, then drowned. A gendarme who was on early shift saw the body and pulled it out the river as the priest was coming in to the church for the morning service. The gendarme said to the priest " Do you know who this man is ?" Priest replied "I don't know his name, but his face rings a bell" 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this time next week it would be, this week they should be ok unless theres a dramatic uplift in numbers.

Guaranteed that Alfie would get booked and persecuted by the media for running towards and goading the opposition fans after scoring, irrespective of where in the empty statium he was to run to.

TMB 14,167 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It’s a public health issue. I think it’s only a matter of time before domestic games are behind closed doors or called to a hault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergiebubs 67 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I read today that experts reckon that the virus will PEAK NEXT WINTER! If that is the case, then there must surely be a chance of next season being thrown into turmoil as well. This has the potential (without being too dramatic) to seriously damage Scottish clubs' finances. For instance, if fans know they might not get to all or even some games, will they buy season tickets etc? Unless the football governing bodies or governments promise to cover losses, then some clubs might well disappear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
