I'm sure Bielsa's getting his Kevin McAllister Christmas training course set up to keep them busy during the downtime

That sounds like an excellent idea op. Idk if we'd make one of those weird synchtube things or just click on the link bang on 3:00. You'd also have to find an actual match and not some guy commentating over a still image for 90 minutes. A world cup final maybe?

If someone can find a match on YouTube or really any streaming service you could easily do this on the trp discord. We did a couple of watchalongs during the euros and we all heard each other’s weird rear end voices and it was fun.

I also had a dumb idea to do this with classic rivalry matches a la Fan Zone but I think it was determined no one else would subject themselves to this.

There are a few complete classic matches on Youtube but surprisingly few, even the big US sports are not as aggressive about keeping full games off Youtube as the European leagues are apparently.

“Should the players and the managers be all together and make a strike? Just through words it’s not going to be solved. For Fifa, the Premier League, the broadcasters, the business is more important than their welfare. The simplest example is all around the world they have five substitutions; here it’s still three. Tell me one argument to take care of players’ welfare than this one? Here, where everyone decides for themselves, we didn’t do it.”

if the clubs and the league are going to force them to play because of broadcasting contracts then all the players should just kick off and then sit down on the grass for 90 minutes, i'm sure sky are really interested in broadcasting that

The players who get on are going to be giving it their best shot. Imagine you're a fringe or youth player who's never started a league game, you ain't going to be doing a sit down protest on your debut. It's the managers who are pissed off because they are being forced to put out weakened teams.

Clubs that can't field a team and therefore depriving us of boxing day foot should have to forfeit with a double point deduction

On the contrary the selfless teams that have sensibly decided to cancel to try and flatten the curve should be given bonus points and immunity from relegation
