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

cancel culture is only okay if they are doing the cancelling

Indeed. In an ever so slightly different set of circumstances, the critics would be calling out everyone for being ‘woke’ and yet still millions can’t see it!

Understanding and empathy you say? There seems to be a distinct lack of this for the deceased on this thread. Show some respect yourself

Has anyone said anything bad about the Queen‘s death, or have you just made that up?

If the funeral is a week on Monday as expected, why are people saying next week fixtures will be off?

I don't think you're replying to the right post here, where is the disrespect in my post to anyone other than your good and humble self?

Makes as much sense as this weekend’s being off.

I dont see why football cant be played. My Industry is carrying on and I am still working this weekend. Dont see why footballers cant work this weekend.

I hate to say it but is football being postponed because one group of fans who boo the National Anthem ?

Black armbands, minutes silence /applause, singing the national anthem would have been a greater tribute and mark of respect rather than wholesale postponement, especially in a season that is going anyway to have to be very tightly scheduled because of the ridiculous timing of this world cup.
Postponement on the day of the funeral would have been a lot more logical and understandable.

Just think this by the time this hullabaloo has finished it will be time for the poppy fascists to get going. Then it’s the World Cup in Qatar, what a fucking mess.

I don’t support the cancelling of the games, nor am I a royalist, but I think cancelling the games is supposed to remove a distraction allowing people to focus on ‘paying respect’.

Most people can multi-task

What a pathetic country we live in.
