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

[117 M34]

What was it the late Bill Shankly once said…?

1st is 1st. 2nd is nowhere.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Am I the only one thinking this gives Liverpool the chance to rest, regroup, recuperate, revive and re-energise?

They’re going to need a bit more than that Looby

My wife is happy the games have been cancelled - she will not be woken up when I get up in the middle of night and disturb her sleep,

Ooops, she has just seen this post and walloped me!!!!!!

Or it deprives them of a chance to bounce back with a very winnable home game against injury ravaged Wolves. Next game for them Chelsea away. I don’t see this is great for Liverpool, it probably suits us more.

Now don’t be giving Bingo any ideas mate ;-)

Have cleaned up the last few pages of this thread. Please try to stick to the subject of the thread.

Why would we throw away two points?

Every team in premier will get a point so it will stay as you are! Games will be coming think and fast as it is now we going to fit in another two games like every team’ meaning more injuries plus disadvantaged in Europe! Back point why throw away 2 points in your thinking them every team be throwing aways 2 points when in fact every team will get 1 point and if he just like playing a 36 game season..

I still don’t understand why people are having a go at the queen or the monarchy when they explicitly said you don’t have to stop and many other sports aren’t.

Whether the monarchy is good or bad is really quite irrelevant. This decision starts and ends with the FA, and once again they absolutely drop the ball, not fit for purpose!

Remember the FA are just a bunch of old cunts…

Wonderful alliteration.

 

[olly-1-mcfc]

The test cricket is still on though ? The English national team ?
Wtf

Not confirmed yet no but looking likely according to the media.

Hadnt thought of that ! I thought it was more a case of the dippers are at home and couldnt be trusted for a minutes silence. So all football from grassroots under 8's to the premier league postponed.

They’ve already paid their respects by cancelling yesterday’s play, that’s how it works. If there were two rounds of football, say Saturday and Tuesday night, the first would be cancelled, the second would go ahead.

 

[Father Paul]

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.

I think it more likely children will be reading about how the monarchy was abolished in a hundred years tbh rather than the momentous events surrounding the death of Elizabeth II.

They’ve made a sensible decision based on this wild idea that life, and sport, can go on respectfully. Unlike the fuckwits at the FA.

But there was 4 games in the PL due tomorrow,so unless they've made the decision as a matchweek for both Saturday and Sunday games to be off,(which they probably have),it would of been interesting to see if there was games due to be played in the PL Tuesday and Wednesday,we will never know I suppose now.

 

[Father Paul]

Me too.
It’s a shame that so many people still have a grudge against him because of Diana.

Best thing about that fool is that at least he won't be on the throne for Seventy years.

This is just sentiment for sentiment's sake.

Some weirdos have simply decided it's the right thing to do, with no rationale or respect for others. Fuck them.

Yes, those games are part of the same round of games, though, although actually the football authorities have just said games won’t go ahead from 9th - 11th so they can resume Monday onwards.
