Give these munts a good thrashing city

Football league games haven't been called off yet.
Presume premier league is the same.

Could all change tomorrow.

 

[west didsblue]

Off

Nothing on the Premier League website or Twitter. Don’t think a dodgy caughtoffside screenshot written by “Darren Looney” counts as a reliable source.

Not loving the idea of postponing footy. Selfish I know, but life goes on.

Not talking specifically about football here but seems insane to me everything has to be cancelled, very sad that she's died as it's sad when anyone does and I'm not oblivious to how devoted she was to her job but I can't understand how people are so emotionally connected/affected by a person that have never met or spoken to

**When anyone dies**

This still happening?

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Give everyone a point and move on

Like I said earlier it didn’t get cancelled in 1952 or 1936 so the precedent is there to play.

You can go out and sniff cocaine and visit a brass house this weekend but you can’t watch football…. Plenty of ways to pay respect this is just bizarre.

 

[argyle]

Fortunately, it's not your decision. The PL will act respectfully, whether it's one round of games or more, it's their decision.

I'd be surprised if you don't own royal family picture plates. ;)

How long was the mourning period or however it's referred to?

 

[The blue phantom]

The lad who runs the Facebook City Ticket site has just said they are all off. Just passing it on.

When I was a kid I was on holiday in Spain when Franco died. All entertainment etc was banned as the country was forced into mourning and the holiday was ruined. I thought things like that would only happen under a dictatorship, yet here we are..

 

[asahartford1]

The club. Was at what was supposed to be my final City Matters meeting when the news came through. They don't know anything for sure as yet but that's what they were saying.

Cheers.
funnily enough I was in the media centre today as the news came through.
Just cannot see how 9 days and 3 matches can be lost.
Will be what will be I guess.

 

[SamBlue]

Mate, she was our queen and head of state whether we like it or not!

The way society/media are reacting to this is bordering on the obsessive, like she was some all powerful God

 

[Daviedeep]

As a postman, I was due to be on strike tomorrow. Due to today’s sad events the Union has called off the strike and we will work as normal. Surely cancelling football two days after the Queens sad passing isn’t necessary but the FA will probably feel obliged to postpone all fixtures

 

[Blue and true]

We will never see her like again. And the postponement of football this weekend is absolutely the correct thing. We get so much wrong in this country. The rightful mourning at the passing of the country’s head of state is something we should and will get right.

So, what you're saying is, I should sit at home and be solemn and miserable for the next ten days because a 96 year-old woman has died peacefully in her sleep? I take it I have to work during these ten days, can I still crack a joke and banter with my colleagues during this time? Or would that be disrespectful? Must I wear black for the next ten days? Can I watch Netflix and Disney Plus during this time or is that enjoyment also disrespectful?

I understand and fully respect that some will be sad and want to mourn, but don't then assume the whole country is one bleeding heart of anguish, because it isn't.

I lost my Grandfather and Grandmother earlier this year, they were my King and Queen. I was cut up but I didn't dwell and deprive myself of one of my greatest pleasures when that happened, so I sure as shit I'm not going to do it now.

You've got the media trying to convince us the nation is harrowed whilst simultaneously showing us footage of the same nation taking selfies and smiling outside Buckingham Palace. The whole thing is a piss take.

You are very much in the minority.

I think you’ll find he’s not.

Spot on. Couldn't put it better myself
