I'm glad to see utd were respectful last night

To be fair they didn`t turn up.

And they aren’t paying everyone losing income from the postponements, this is just the casual staff.

Not sure why you are smug about people being forced to shoulder even more hardship for no real reason.

I said the club would help out , they have and donating to food bank, i have really copped it today but i had faith in the club to help

Which I have highlighted and commended.

But that is a *small* fraction of those losing incoming due to the postponements. At a time when many simply cannot afford to lose income.

It’s nonsensical.

Vague nonsense about respect?

One day you (or anyone) will want respect for your personal loss or grief, even from the people you don't like, we would all expect that.

I just think you can't expect respect if you can't give it.

A lot of people are actually mourning the loss, a day of no football doesn't cost anything but it does respect the occasion. As boring as it is .

A day of no football does cost something though. It costs millions of people the opportunity to spend some time enjoying themselves with friends and family.

It costs millions of kids - who have already lost two years of their lives during covid - the opportunity to play football with their mates.

People are talking about respect, when in actual fact depriving people of the opportunity to do something they enjoy and is extremely important in their lives, is one of the most selfish and inconsiderate acts possible.

There is no reason why the nation can’t mourn and millions of people can still enjoy their free time. These two things are not mutually exclusive.

This is an absolute joke of a decision.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

It's an absolutely fucking shite decision.

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

Boris would have had a garden party

I’d imagine there’s many, many pubs, sandwich shops, chippies and the like who are wholly reliant on match day income.
One poster even seems to think if you’ve bought enough stuff to feed hundreds of people, as you usually do on a match day, you’ll just get it back when the game goes ahead!!

I won't expect the country to come to a standstill.

I agree totally.

They're never going to get it.

Why what has he said TLWYS ?

He tweeted some nonsense last night and I paraphrase, but it was along the lines of saying: that racism was still very much a thing on her watch, so why should brown and black people mourn the Queen.
Suffice to say, he has now jumped off twitter..

 

[Gingers Dad]

Not only football, just seen that the Tour of Britain has be stopped and cancelled. Still had 3 stages to go but the winner is the person leading at the moment.

Arsenal like that

 

[kaz7]

I am thinking that football being the national game is why they have called it off , i also think large amounts of dippers booing and not respecting a silence is on their mind

Oooooooooopppppppppppppppppppppsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

 

[Shaelumstash]

That's a really good and accurate point.

It is, but another good point is why the fuck are people still living their lives based on what the fucking Daily Mail think?

 

[urban genie]

Avanti are right twats, even though the travel firms must reimburse people who are needing to cancel because of this, these chancers are charging £10 admin fee per ticket for anyone who does

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

A fucked clock is right twice a day - the hardening Tory stance on non-interference has actually worked in their favour this time; they left this sort of stuff up to governing bodies and the FA have called it badly wrong. In this case, i think the gov might be ok? as in, by turning a blind eye and washing their hands of responsibility (yet again), they may have got away with one.

You can be sure the Government put pressure on the PL in private.

If the funeral is a week on Monday as expected, why are people saying next week fixtures will be off?

This weekend is practice mourning, the real stuff will be next weekend, building to a crescendo at the Funeral.

 

[Impeccable One]

Most people can multi-task

Agreed, I certainly will be
