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

Good to see policing wasn't a factor in the decision and that this decision was simply a straight up load of bollocks.

oooh where did you read this? i've been concocting a theory in my head that it IS the policing issue all along but the PL (did you notice they acted first?) have tried to point score on grief by pretending it's respect, instead of coming out and saying they're short of bobbies (which would, in turn, imply they were cold hearted blah blah), and it's back fired on them.

At least the club are making an attempt to lessen the burden this places on so many.

We’ll see if other clubs follow suit.

PL terrified of being seen as uncaring and bottled it. Rugby and cricket just made the sensible decision to carry on and pay respects.

Sorry for all the people who have wasted time and money.

This decision has shown no more or less respect than those sports rightly choosing to carry on. There is no upside.

Not surprised though.

Who changed the title of this thread could have worded it differently, when in your lifetime did you see rhe passing of a monarch,. Have some respect

So horse racing and cricket back on.Why is football off?What they worried about scousers booing the anthem not even they would dare.

The premier league probably cancelled the matches because they knew how the feral red scouse would behave by booing. That is not an image they want or indeed have to deal with. Let’s just call it off and keep our team In red from getting abuse.

You would be surprised.

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

So they will all still get paid tomorrow then and be able to pay their Gas & Electric, sorted!
