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

[Phil1]

Do you think postponing a game will kill you, anyone, us or the league?

I get being not arsed over her death is seen as being a bit “edgy” for some but if I’m being brutally honest, I couldn’t give a fuck what those in the minority think.

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That's the crux of it and that's why in a modern world the outdated notion that the man on the street should suffer because a country is coming to a standstill to mourn doesn't sit right with me.

Couldn't we cancel the World Cup instead?

Just need the scousers to start the petition.

Lovely ground

The FA and Premier League have been made to look like absolute mugs here.

I mean, the decision to call the games off tomorrow actually benefits me because I'm moving house and a few walls need painting. The Spurs game being called off means I can dedicate the day to that task instead. But forcing people to mourn something while the rest of the sporting world just carries on is fucking bonkers.

And now this decision by the ECB makes it all look much, much worse.

Once again the FA and Premier League are shown to be the inept cunts they are.

They are the biggest virtue signalling cunts from all the sports though it’s no surprise

And no doubt the right wing press will be on mourning watch - looking out for anyone without an appropriate demeanour.

Seeing as other sports are carrying ( rightly in my mind ) the more I think that the dippers being at home is the reason.

The premier league cant risk the dippers ignoring a minute silence or booing the National Anthem.

I could be wrong .

Put one into the petrol station once and just tapped my crease cool as fuck like I didn’t care :)

I know it's never their fault, but on this occasion I don't think it is their fault.

I’m rather hoping Surrey can pip Hampshire and win the County Championship, but if the fixture against Northants is postponed next week, it might have to be played in October.
