26 down is Mercurial

There isn`t a 26 down, 26 is across but the answer is Mercurial

'blackbird without tail seen around religious court' is the subsidiary indication.

'blackbird' becomes 'merle' ('merle' can be a synonym of 'blackbird').

'without tail' means to remove the last letter.

'seen around' is an insertion indicator.

'religious court' becomes 'curia'.

'merle' with its final letter taken off is 'merl'.

'merl' going around 'curia' is 'mercurial'.

Wonder if they could play pre- recorded chants during the ‘no crowd’ games? Including those about refs and lino’s. Oppo fans ‘No fans - you’ve got no fans’. Etc

 

[Yellow River]

I wonder what the stats are for playing ‘behind closed door’ for home win, away win or draw compared with ‘normal’ fixtures with crowds?

Swindon town is falling down, falling down

Cough on Swindon!!!

 

[Fourthstand]

We’re gonna cough in a minute, cough in a miiiinute....

Is that all you quarantine, is that all you quarantine!!!

If we did have to play games behind closed doors (remember nothing has been decided yet) do you think we would get large numbers of fans congregating behind the fence end, and if do would the police have the power to disperse them?

Well, they wouldn’t have have special powers! If they thought a crowd was causing public nuisance, committing affray, or whatever they would disperse them . I guess the club would appeal for people not to travel

 

[Paul Cannell]

Yeah, bang em up in a nice, cosy cell.

 

[Scotchegg]

Yeah, bang em up in a nice, cosy cell.

One of the contingencies is the release short term or low risk prisoners, presumably to make space for these ghastly football fans!!!

 

[Cass63]

Cancelling, or playing every game behind closed doors won't do nothing in stopping this spreading across the country so I don't see the point.

Won’t do nothing, so it will do something?

I'm talking about fans trying to watch the game. Not causing disorder

Yes, and I’m personally all for it, because if what’s going on in the world at present still isn’t enough for somebody to not do something as stupid as turn up anyway through some weird act of ‘defiance’, we aren’t going to be losing anybody of value in the event that they get rather ill.

Let natural selection do its thing in this regard. The idiots will out themselves.

PSG played behind closed doors but thousands gathered outside to support.

 

[werthersoriginal]

I only live round the corner so would find it hard not to go for a poke around! However no one else should go.

 

[holdsteady]

I work in hazourdous waste removal so have my own haz mat suit and masks etc, I reckon I should be able to attend suited up, I will let you all know what the game was like.
