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

Thousands of working class folk out of pocket for travel cost, accommodation etc. Outrageous in my opinion.

Working class always get shafted.

 

[eastmanc]

Imagine the history books had displays of thousands of people signing the national anthem or superstar footballers stood with their heads bowed in respect, military bands marching across pitches and fans each holding up a separate image of the Queen
To be able to look back in 100 years at how the biggest sport in the world came together to show its respect

What does it show to future generations to say “ well most people were pissed off as they cancelled football and most people just stayed at home playing words with friends or scrolled through TikTok “

When the Queens Dad died they didn’t cancel the football.

Clubs could all just cancel the February break and rescehdule these games for then.

We went 132 years without having a Winter break so I’m sure we can just postpone this season’s.

Agreed. Most of the players will play 3 or 4 games at the WC and be back again anyway. It will only inconvenience a few clubs and a few players. The English contingent will be out of the tournament and home again within a couple of weeks and long before we play Leeds on Boxing day. Nice bit of winter sun then crack on lads. Earn your 300k a week.

Good to see. Shame it has to happen at all.

liverpewl trying to furlough their staff costs

Blame the Football Authorities, the prospect of the scousers using the minutes silence to boo the National Anthem could not have been lost on them. Those images would have gone global and been very damaging to the EPL.
Once again Scousers spoiling football for the grown ups.

When the Queens Dad died they didn’t cancel the football.

I know and I’ve seen on Twitter the crowds at games, apparently abide with me was sung as well as the national anthem,
These images could now be seen forever if we did the same, it’s still respectful and so much the better option that only the fuckwits at the FA could decide to do nothing

 

[west didsblue]

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.

The history books noted that football wasn’t stopped for King George VI or V, or Queen Victoria. Edward VII died after the season finished.

The precedent was set then. This is nonsense.

Wage washing

Wage washing bastards, we can’t do right for doing wrong. You just know that some journalists, not mentioning any names,(Miguel Delooney) will be thinking just this.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Last Night of the Proms cancelled too.

The country‘s gone mad.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Pretty obvious that the only reason the FA has cancelled everything, despite being given every option to play on, is so a couple of executives can climb even further up the arse of the new heir to the throne.

Grubby.
