I hope the Belarusian Premier League are doing everything to cash in on the fact they're the only European top division still playing.

The first game on Saturday is between Slutsk and Brest, shouldn't be too difficult to sell with names like that!

Could be the way the whole football league programme is decided if unable to complete.

-30%, whooo what a sacrifice. That means some of those guys are going to be down to less than 70grand a week, how on earth will they cope!

Everyone else is either capped at 2½grand a month or on £90/wk UC if they can't work, and I bet all the journeyman jockeys paid by the ride aren't still expecting 70% even though 70% of their wage isn't a lot.

Top level Footballers are going to come out of this badly if they dont do something

Unless they make a real hash of their PR from here on in, then my clear feeling is they'll return to their status as demigods from the second a ball is kicked again. And they know so, which is why they can afford to not care and remain in their own little Gal Gadot-like world.

A week ago Aaron Ramsey donated 10.000. Good on him really. Still, the lad - reportedly - makes 400.000 a fecking week. Reports threw words like "huge sum" and "generous" around.

How this wasn't turned into a journalistic look at why wealthy footballer, who's also by and large had easier access to testing than the rest of us, aren't doing more for the communities, who gave them their cash and demigod status in the first place is well and truly beyond me.

Donating roughly 0.05 percent of your annual income being hailed as generous without anyone screaming bloody murder speaks volumes about our society and how footballers will still be perceived when football gets going again.

Anyone serious about trading/betting really should take a stance anywhere from extreme caution to staying away altogether until normal procedure resumes.

Reports are coming out in Denmark about "ghost matches" in Ukraine, where the matches are being reported, including live updates, by the services usually used by bookies, without actually happening. They've been available with Danske Spil (the former monopoly, so a serious operation); don't know about the exchange or other major bookies.

I was outside at 8pm clanking my pots and pans for the Premier League footballers, and when the neighbours scowled at me I just stormed back indoors again. What planet are these people on?
