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

[supercity88]

Thank fuck we have netflix these days. Back in the day when all we were facing was repetitive coverage of the Queen I may well have joined her in that coffin. At least the cricket and F1 are on. But the football should have been played, with a minutes silence prior to games and appropriate respects being paid. My fantasy football team looked fucked though so will be in better shape next weekend and then we have our beloved international team to get behind.

Blame the Football Authorities, the prospect of the scousers using the minutes silence to boo the National Anthem could not have been lost on them. Those images would have gone global and been very damaging to the EPL.
Once again Scousers spoiling football for the grown ups.

would’ve been fun watching the media brush it under the rug

Nothing wrong with wills and kate

'Wills'?

Do you know him?

If the queen RIP during COVID-19 lockdown what would of happened then?

Covid would obviously have had to be suspended for the duration of the mourning period and would have had to be made up at a later date.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Cricket is going ahead at all levels.

The Premier League and FA have fucked this up

Not a sentence you see very often…..

 

[Blue back home]

It is a ridiculous decision. Cancelling kids playing sport is beyond belief. My sisters club is getting them all together anyway for a fun training session which is great. Why do they think cancelling football is showing respect to the queen? Showing respect to the queen is honoring a minutes silence and actually being nice to each other for a weekend. Thankfully my local cricket is on and I'll watch that instead.

I prefer Harry and Megan lovely couple.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Its not about the actual football itself that I'm concerned about. Its the thousands and thousands of already struggling small businesses who rely on a match day to bring in much needed income where my sympathies lie.
That's the crux of it and that's why in a modern world the outdated notion that the man on the street should suffer because a country is coming to a standstill to mourn doesn't sit right with me.

If the train drivers/RMT/post office workers or anyone else ‘bring the country to a standstill’, which of course they never do, there’s absolute outrage.….

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It’s been postponed not cancelled. So they will get the income on the day when the game is rescheduled.

Even if they’ve pre bought all their perishables in anticipation of the usual huge Saturday sell out?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Money. Masters needs to protect the cash cow no matter how they behave. Morality does not come into the discussion.

Dippers have at least 7 injured tomorrow and we’ve had a day longer off than Spuds. Seems a bit extreme but we know who runs the PL…..

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Wage washing

How dare they…….

 

[bluejon]

Think they've really ballsed up with this. I'm far from a royalist but would have been a great way to send her off. Thousands of people in a minute's silence, good rendition of the national anthem etc, nevermind all the people the decision has screwed over with regards to plans etc.

Was there this level of hysteria when the Premier League has an international break?

I don’t recall this level of whining when the Premier League is put on hold for the international breaks. What about when the Premier League announced a break for the World Cup? I would be grateful if you would post a link for these threads

I'm pretty certain the International breaks aren't sprung on people two days before they happen which allows people on zero hour contracts to plan their finances a little better.
You've offered a completely disingenuous argument and showed a complete lack of understanding or empathy to those struggling financially.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Last Night of the Proms cancelled too.

The country‘s gone mad.

Sinclair being investigated for his comments by TalkSport. Sister station of Talk Radio where all the presenters believe you can say anything you like, obviously until it’s something they don’t like. Hypocrisy knows no bounds anymore and satire is no longer needed…….

 

[west didsblue]

Does anyone think it’s a good idea?

 

[bluemc1]

Wage washing bastards, we can’t do right for doing wrong. You just know that some journalists, not mentioning any names,(Miguel Delooney) will be thinking just this.

I genuinely hate that man, i think it’s close to harassment and slander what he does

cancel culture is only okay if they are doing the cancelling

Understanding and empathy you say? There seems to be a distinct lack of this for the deceased on this thread. Show some respect yourself
