I'll say yes. If anything actually does start back up, which I dont believe it will for a couple of months, then maybe that could be done as part of next season?

Think we should carry on with German football, and Italian starting again soon. Super6 is starting again this weekend with the Bundesliga.

Looking forward to this starting up again. Do we have the first set of fixtures yet?

English league restarting, at least Premier and Championship so wait for that.

I wont be partaking, the season was due to finish in May, it now might be restarting in June, but behind closed doors. Having seen some of the weird results in the Bundesliga with the majority being away wins, then it isn't a true representation of the games that have gone before. By all means use their games as a mini tourno as we have no Euro 2020, but I think the season should end. Games are also on every night aren't they, so it makes predicting what is a week, and what is the next week a little more difficult for getting predictions in? Whereas just predicting on the whole lot is a bit easier to manage? Anyway, good luck to those that continue.

If we don't continue then we should void the entire season. You can't simply end the tournament because it is inconvenient for some people. There's no credibility in finishing now, just like ending the FA Cup Predicta was ridiculously premature.

I'm not going to be able to commit to doing fixtures and results at the moment but if someone else wants to carry on fine.I would finish for this season and where you are now in the table that is it.

There's no credibility in finishing now, just like ending the FA Cup Predicta was ridiculously premature. FA Cup Predicta was at the quarter final stage, if you think that's premature when we are now in June and had been playing since August, and there is no sign of games being carried on, then you're wrong. Maybe try running the contests yourself, then you can decide what to do when Covid hits us again. It is June, games may be back, they might not, move on and wait until next season, if we get a next season and anyone wants to run it, rather than it being wonderwall and myself.

I seem to remember that when you’ve asked for help, help has always been forthcoming. Games are coming back, it’s a fact so we could have carried on. My issue is that you didn’t ask other players whether they wanted to carry on the season, rather you refused to play no matter what others may have wanted, so it feels like credibility has been lost. Anyway let’s call it a day.

I run the fa cup predicta, therefore if I choose to end that, I can. I dont run footy predicta, wonderwall does, I help out when he cant do the results occasionally. And on May 4th he suggested finishing this up, no-one said anything until after I agreed 8 days later. 17 June has been given as the date for games to start, it's starting with the two games in hand, some games are suggested to be played at neutral venues, but has that actually been agreed? I'm assuming if a player tests positive in a squad, that team wont play a game for two weeks? It still feels up in the air to me, and a couple of positive tests and it will all come crashing down.

There was no point replying to wonderwall at the time because there was no information with which to make a decision, now there is, and for me the decision should have been to continue. Unfortunately it seems to me that you are looking for problems rather than solutions and I find that frustrating and rather negative. There's a lot of this out there at the moment. Anyway as I said before, let's wrap this up because continued argument is pointless as we simply don't agree on the way forward.

My solution was to run a mini tourno to replace Euro 2020 using the prem and champ games if they ever get played, so maybe someone just looks for the negative in every comment? But yes I am in a kind of wrapping stuff up mood and moving on.

Dealers choice, whoever runs it can wrap it up when they chose, I'm easy either way

You run it then for the rest of the season if you want my opinion best to start again next season.I cannot commit my partner is ill and I have work to think about.

I would have happily done so if the idea of continuing hadn’t been met with such negativity. Never mind, but it doesn’t feel like a proper finish.

It's only me being negative Robin, so carry it on with Bundesliga games, Portuguese league is back, and I'm sure Spain are back soon as well, then add in some English games if we get some, because finishing it with German and Portuguese games would deffo be a proper finish in July.

OK, I'm up for taking this on until the end of the season .... adding onto the state of the results as of the weekend ending March 7th.
However, my proposal is because of the unprecedented circumstances (UK Economy shrinks by 20.4%) we find ourselves in, and the greater degree of unpredictability, due to the increased possibility of matches being postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests; & matches possibly being moved at short notice to a neutral venue ..... then you don't rank the matches on a x10-1 likelihood of the probability of your result prediction; and instead every match H/D/A prediction counts as x5.5.
As the Premier League are looking at each team playing 2 matches per week; then I'd suggest we do the same with the predictions.
If I get enough of a positive response then I'm happy to get the first couple of sets of English domestic matches to predict up tonight.

I think that is a fair approach so would happily participate.

I'm in.
And I volunteer to finish off the FA Cup Predicta this year. One set of predictions for each round, with results contributing to (1) the full year version, for those who want that, and (2) a mini-competition for the quarter-finals going forward.
