Chelsea-Liverpool, United-Leeds, Brighton-Palace all off, rest of the games on (pg 128)

I do think this is the wrong decision. Start each game with a minutes applause and God Save The Queen to honour and respect her memory. the attendances at all games singing the Anthem in full voice means far mare than deserted grounds and a sense of animosity that will be the result of this very short sighted opinion

Obviously not including Anfield in that

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Bit silly given other sporting events are still going ahead. There were plenty of ways the game could pay respect without cancelling. I’m not sure this was well thought through.

 

[blue for life]

Next weekend too??? Where does it say that?

 

[Nellies left peg]

At least Kaz can mourn in peace and uninterruptedly can hysterically wave her torch in grief

 

[mcfc64]

Are we still playing the Dortmund game next week ?

Are we still playing the Dortmund game next week ?

UEFA competition so I expect it to go ahead

 

[Blu1]

It’s the selective cancellations I don’t understand. I can go pub / club get smashed, go comedy club for a laugh go strip club but I can’t watch football!

Anybody explain this ?

 

[Nellies left peg]

But the St leger at Doncaster races still goes ahead albeit moved to Sunday . Fucking joke

Probably the best week to go to a comedy club for years, to be fair.

We can dream.

No. It’ll be the same in most clubs’ forums.

They haven’t been postponed because of protocol, they‘ve been postponed by the PL committee, fearful of criticism received if they’d said carry on.

 

[Jesus2020]

If you want to pay respects to the queen by not attending a football match then however odd that would seem to me as a form of mourning it's not for me to say how you deal with something so close and dear to your heart but then just don't go. Anyone else who isn't bothered or wishes to mourn or pay their respects in a different way should be allowed to attend a football match rather than have this enforced upon them.

Awww was you ready to boo what a shame

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Awww was you ready to boo what a shame

Absolutely not. A bizarre reply.

 

[snorky]

Well that' just pants.

 

[the blue panther]

The only sensible move is not to play on the day of the funeral. I suppose a lot depends on which day that is. It could be a Monday which would have little impact or a Saturday (as with Princess Diana). Hopefully they will play tomorrow.

Sensible didn't come into it, I expect.
Respect, yes, but, it looks like 3 weeks of repetetive shit to come.
Buggar!!!

 

[domalino]

this is by far the best bit of competitive patriotic grieving I’ve seen so far

 

[mat]

Saves the PL embarrassment of the scousers booing her being broadcast around the world.

All our thoughts are with Tony Cascarino in his moment of such profound grief.
So moving!
