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

is there a good time to be had in grey and rainy Manchester when there's no game on? ;)

Woah, this isn't Tinder, nor Grindr! Kidding, Manchester is okay, plus the weather is currently very sunny, perhaps a little damp though. :P

On this occasion football should have waited, waited to see the other sports confirm they're going ahead and then follow suit. It would have avoided criticism from the 'right wing papers' that way.

do you (or anyone) know if the tours are still going ahead? might grab me one of those in that case also is the platinum whatever tour worth the extra $?

I’m a theatre actor and our shows and indeed those of most theatres are going ahead, with a minute’s silence before the show. I‘m not sure why sporting events cannot do the same. I say this as a patriotic admirer of the Queen, and very keen to pay my respects, I just don’t see how postponing sports matches achieves that.

we really need to start using the word 'football' instead of 'sport' now (although cycling folded early as well).

i hope your show goes well, what is it?

IMO this is an exercise to force the common people to kowtow to the whims of those who control our sports and who do this to us because they wish to get knighthoods in due course.
I note that the posh kids sports (cricket and rugby) are not postponed other than on the day of the funeral.

 

[BlueHammer85]

everything going ahead as normal apart from Football, doesn't make any sense at all

Football is governed by idiots. Hopefully VAR can save them and overturn their decision.

But neither is the most working class sport in the country - rugby league.

No one will be arsed about these games in a few weeks, but the history books will note that the national sport paid its respects to Her Majesty.
