Spurs (H) - Postponed due to the passing of the Queen (pg67)

[Octavian]

Is it fuck.

My weekend plans in tatters because the UK is following an outdated tradition that makes us look like fucking North Korea.

Behave yourself.

The government haven’t mandated it, the Premier League have decided.

Our head of state of 70 years has died so a football match has been postponed and you’re comparing it to a country where you get put in a death camp for criticising their dictator.

Clown.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Hopefully all other forms of leisure have to be cancelled too, for balance.

And shops. Total lockdown until the funeral.

 

[threespires]

Being reported that golf, cricket, rugby league and horse racing going ahead this weekend along with the GNR.
So why is football cancelled? Not looking to offend those who are genuinely affected by the death of the monarch but to me this position makes no sense at all.

 

[swinton blue]

I’m hearing local carnivals also cancelled this weekend which effect local business & event organisers.

The establishment have missed a big opportunity. Let people celebrate the queens life not put life on hold & lose money in challenging times.

Forcing things like this only divide people more.

I don’t get the selective cancellations

I've heard Liverpool is still open for business as they are scouse not English

 

[inchy14]

Less of the fucking pile on if you dont min

You dont have to mourn ffs , grow up

So why cancel everything then?

 

[train man]

and the number of people who think everyone should sit in solemn contemplation for 90 minutes on Saturday instead of...

Sounds like an extract from the Etihad Atmosphere thread...!

 

[jimharri]

It's going to be a logistical nightmare, fitting in the games, specially with this farcically scheduled World Cup coming up.

 

[Blu1]

I've heard Liverpool is still open for business as they are scouse not English

Funny :-)

 

[117 M34]

Can we start a rumour that the PL called the fixtures off because certain fans couldn't be trusted to respect the minute silence?

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

David Icke was right!

Reptilians I tell you, Reptilians!

 

[kaz7]

So why cancel everything then?

I have said why

 

[Utter bobbins]

Why have the PL done this when govt said it’s ok to play

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Yeah just had radio on in the car and it does all seem very forced, it’s a strange thing why people have to show they’re the most upset and hurting more
One caller saying she’s in the office and nobody can concentrate and they all keep having to get up and hug each other

 

[inchy14]

Due at a gig tomorrow after the game, wonder if that’ll be cancelled too.

Worlds gone mad. Truly has.

 

[City Man]

Potentially our next game could be v United in October ffs

Can't see how Wednesday's game could possibly be postponed. It's under UEFA jurisdiction so PL decision for this weekend has no bearing. It would be a near diplomatic incident if thousands of Borussia fans were out of pocket in air fares and hotels.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

They literally wouldn't have been dammned if they went ahead though.

The offical guidance said they could and the number of people who think everyone should sit in solemn contemplation for 90 minutes on Saturday instead of watching or going to football is likely countable on 2 hands.

You got missing fingers?

 

[OB1]

Being told I have to mourn for someone I never met and had no feelings for for one way or another. There's a word for that...it'll come to me...

Fascism.

Whilst I disagree with the decision. It's not facism. For a start it was not the Government that called the games off. The official guidance does not call for cancellations, the Queen seems ot have indicated that she wanted minimal disruption.

This is simply the Premier League making a huge misjudgement.

 

[inchy14]

I have said why

No you said it’s right in your opinion but not why

 

[bobmcfc]

Nobody is forcing anyone to mourn. I'm sure all your wives will have plenty of seasonal.jobs to do like cut the garden back etc ;-)

Honestly you lot, bunch of wet wipes. We could do with a bit of R&R for our players who are injured anyway.

Hahahhaha
