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

The irony works both ways, those who enjoy cancelling people now trying to say Sinclair is entitled to an opinion and around we go.

Who are your top 3 Britons who have been undeservedly cancelled?

 

[FantasyIreland]

She gave us 70 years.

The least the public can do is give up a weekend of football.

I don't think many can quite comprehend what a huge moment in time this is, irrespective of your own viewpoint.

It's bigger than any sport, stuff our great grandchildren will be reading about in school 100 years from now.

Certainly not did City fuck up again at home to Spurs this weekend.

As others have already stated,it would have been anything but disrespectful to fulfill the fixtures....its a fantastic opportunity missed and one that can't be recovered.

Is this your living room? ;)

Does it have to be?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Am well confused now..

With?

Correct. Not a surprise though is it. These guys can’t organise anything.

Will the premier league reimburse fans for travel, hotel costs etc. Will the premier league reimburse coach companies for lost of business etc etc.

I said people who enjoy cancelling but if you want one example, JK Rowling.

The billionaire JK Rowling?

The one who has new films out every other year?

The JK Rowling with 13.9m followers on Twitter?

In what way has she been “cancelled”?

 

[shemnel]

saw a pretty good take on reddit about the prem cancellations - football matches suck up a lot of police presence and planning, its about the cops, they're needed elsewhere physically and the security planning and admin spent on observances instead - cricket and golf don't suck up nearly the security resources for instance, so can go ahead and play, shrug

This was mooted even before they officially cancelled this morning, that it would possibly be due to this reason . At first I thought this was the PLs get out clause, say sorry, it's respectful, plus there's no coppers and we should respect the right to gather to mourn (or something). Get the brownie points and legitimise it. But they haven't mentioned it at all. Then I wondered if they didn't because they didn't want to caveat the cancellations. And now I have no idea. The simple fact it's football is playing on my mind a bit.

Too many forelock-tuggers on here who need to get off their knees.

Dear God I hope this is satire.

 

[Impeccable One]

Has it actually been confirmed yet that next weekend’s fixtures will also be postponed, or is there still a chance they could go ahead?

Not confirmed, there is a chance, but it is a slim one

I think her Majesty was a model of stoicism and clearly a fan of sport. I doubt she would have wanted to impact financially on individuals or families in the way the sporting decision will inevitably do. I think she would want folk to carry on as she did throughout many challenges in her reign. I also agree as others have said pre ko could’ve been very special in terms of people genuinely paying respect and reflecting on her life.

 

[oakiecokie]

As I understand it, all sport restarts on Monday so the following weekend including Sunday games will be OK.
However if the funeral is as we expected a week on Monday, then any planned games for that day/night will be cancelled.

 

[bellsouth]

Football has badly misjudged this decision - today was a day for reflection and the day of the funeral of course, but like other sports have recognised, moving forward is essential and in no way disrespects her majesty

 

[stonerblue]

Dear God I hope this is satire.

No it ain't. The clown lost it on an earlier thread.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nah respect for people in mourning isn't bullshit. It just isn't. I'll leave you guys to it though, I didn't think people would be so triggered over missing a days football.

Apologies for my tardy reply, I’ve just been up a bell tower fixing a bell to ring 96 times for the queen.

You keep telling everybody that you mourn better than others though.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Do think part of it is so clubs can have time to plan and organise pre match tributes for the Queen before kick off next weekend

 

[The Northern Baptist]

It’s actually mad the amount of grown men in this thread moaning about a weekends football being cancelled. Is your life that dumbed down and devoid of anything else that a game being postponed affects you so much?

What about partially grown men?

You take that high ground and stick your nose as high as it will go.

There’s about 10 of you now that feel the same. Not sure who made you moral arbiters, but there you go.

Opinions hey?
