MrPlinkett Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Seems silly forcing the final to be played in Turkey when both teams are UK teams. Surely common sense should be applied under the current circumstances and move it to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, but it would be unfair on Istanbul as they’ve already had it pushed back one year, and it would set a precedent. Should the all German final in Wembley have been moved to Germany? I also have a bit of a hidden agenda cos I have a holiday to turkey booked for late July, so they’ve got about 2 months to get their act together and get on the green list. Hopefully the final is a roaring success and shows that they’re ready to take holiday makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances I don't think it would be a valid argument but when that country is struggling to contain the virus its different. I'm with you though I hope they sort it out, we are due end of August there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to be Istanbul, but when there’s the option of 8000 fans in villa park, or any empty stadium in Istanbul, it’s a no brainer really. If Turkey could’ve safely held it, and the only argument is that it’s two English teams so it should be held in England, then that would set a precedent. But if the host city can’t host it for safety reasons and can’t have fans in, then that still sets a precedent, but it’s a fair one to set.

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 ESL Final between 2 of the damned 6, couldn’t care less where or when it’s played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPlinkett Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Another classic from Uefa. Move it from istanbul to a country in lockdown until the 30th May. You couldnt make up the levels of incompetency in our football organisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uefa/Premiership combination means it's been watered it down for neutrals and seems to be the same teams. Does not mean as much as it did years ago. I did not watch any of the knockout stages and not seen a group game for years. Might watch last 20 mins of final in case it goes to penalties which is mildly interesting.

Tyler Durden Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 My only regret is that Terry won't be available again to agonisingly slip on his arse with the kick to win the match if the game goes to penalties. Only reason I'd be watching tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
