Lliga | Round 7: FC Barcelona - Las Palmas 3-0

[BarçaBarça]

What's happening ?

No-one really knows, and the media are reporting different things.
Safe to say that it is doubtful, if the match is going to be played, and that if we don't play it will have an afterplay which doesn't look good for us.

Las Palmas are in the dressing room without a notification of the postponement. The decision is of Barcelona's.

You can send a messagge by playing and doing it with even more ambition. Shooting yourself in the foot in protest is dumb. Achieves nothing but wasting 3 points that might be decisive in the end.

LFP does not suspend the match.

The shitshow goes on.

 

[MessiCam]

so lineups?

When Pique and Mascherano play together it usually implies a 3 man defence. Not sure is this formation is correct. Could be 3-4-3 or 3-5-2...

I don’t like that Valverde fiddles so much...

But couldn't you interpret both playing and not playing as a support of the referendum, democracy, a 'fuck you' to the spanish government?
I don't see why not playing is the best option?

Lineups if the match goes ahead (looking increasingly likely):

I'm not saying we shouldn't play as a sign of protest. We shouldn't play because there is no guaranteed safety on the stadium. If there comes to incidents consequences could be even worse. Nobody knows what could happen. League should be smart enough to understand that stance from the club and suspend the game.

I don't buy the not safe in the stadium argument. We're playing at home, not away. If we're not playing it's some suicidal bullshit sign of solidarity. We are a football club first and foremost.

We can play with the gates closed and no spectators.

Again, I'm talking purely from a safety standpoint. I doubt game can be played under these circumstances. One of the rare occasions but football won't be the primary thing on minds of most Catalan people that will come to the Camp Nou today. I'm just affraid things will get out of control and consequences could be even worse than "just" 3 or 6 lost points if the game is played and something bad happens.
