We are living in unprecedented times. Never has most of the population witnessed such restrictions on their movements. The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is being described by some as a war-like situation.
We are living in unprecedented times. Never has most of the population witnessed such restrictions on their movements.In many ways, that’s true, but, as one journalist put it last week, like all wars, this will end and we will get back to normal – whatever that is.
Match officials are a hardy bunch – they fulfil their duties to the best of their ability in the face of sometimes insurmountable odds. Some train in groups, which will now be curtailed to a large degree. Maintaining the now recognised 2m distance from others is definitely possible. How can this be done? Crossing over to the other side of the street when approaching someone is one way, and there are others.
Remember, when the leagues resume, there won’t be time for preseason training. It’ll be go, go, go, because there’ll be pressure to try to complete the season literally just before the next one starts. With the pressure of the Euros now off, leagues have a perfect window of opportunity to finalise their fixtures and prepare for the next season.
This virus will pass and many, many will come out of it fit and well. Sadly, a minority will not be so lucky, but we must keep positive and keep going.
