    I know that I know nothing about football, and care even less, but surely players can't maintain a 2m distance from each other, even if playing " behind closed doors"?

    At least there'd be no tackling so no amateur dramatics and diving!

    It's just started to rain here and I wanted to get the front terrace swept before it did so, wasn't expecting it till tomorrow.

    Obelixx, from what I've seen there is nobody within about 5 metres, never mind 2 metres, when the worst of the divers go into action. :/

    I’ve got loads to plant out, can’t even get a trowel in the ground, can’t water with hose here.  Longing for rain, they’d better be right with this forecast. 
    I've been watering with gay abandon over here.
    I’d be here all night at least watering my garden. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Is it just me or does it make anyone else reach blindly for the green emoji?

    This will come across as pretty rude - and probably it is so sorry to those who are offended but I’ll make the point anyway - but I am just musing if there is a forum for footballers and on their off-topic chatter page they make error-strewn postings about gardening.

    Footballers will not allowed to play again until they have been tested for the virus and matches these days are so intensely covered by cameras it is difficult, indeed very difficult, to get away with diving. Those caught face strong sanctions and there is zero possibility of feigning a foul tackle unless within centimetre proximity to an opposition player.

    Not if you use a sprinkler?

    It's only a game
    I'm glad to see those playing games with balls are now considered Key Workers and getting preferential testing for Covid .
