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

But what purpose does it actually serve to postpone the games? Beyond some vague nonsense about 'respect' and it being 'the right thing to do', what's the actual practical, real-world purpose of postponing the games? I'm genuinely curious.

Vague nonsense about respect?

One day you (or anyone) will want respect for your personal loss or grief, even from the people you don't like, we would all expect that.

I just think you can't expect respect if you can't give it.

A lot of people are actually mourning the loss, a day of no football doesn't cost anything but it does respect the occasion. As boring as it is .
 
The FA/PL made a hasty decision and I think it has backfired the best way for football to show respect was like West Ham and Utd did last night. Many sports around the world have held a minutes silence and I found them touching. I am a monarchist and the way the West Ham fans sang the anthem because they wanted to is a genuine show of respect not cancelling games at the last minute and I really can't see the logic behind this its not as if they had to follow a protocol.
 
It's a very silly decision,it makes no sense on any level.

The clowns in the FA are so out of touch with reality.This was an opportunity for millions to pay their respect that has been foolishly missed.
