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

They are the biggest virtue signalling cunts from all the sports though it’s no surprise
It's a monumental period in our history. I think it's right there's no football this weekend, it's such a pivotal moment.

I understand those, who don't have an affinity for the royals, (I don't either) but it's the right thing to do. It's about priorities for a lot of people.

Football will carry on.
But when there is a (wholly exaggerated and unnecessary, in many people's minds) disruption to people's lives then there is inevitably a backlash in the form of a reduced sense of loss and respect which maybe otherwise would be there.
 
I don’t agree with the cancellation of games but let’s not get all hyperbolic.

A bit of bad weather can get games called off and nobody loses their mind over that. We had a game called off against Mönchengladbach a few years ago that, by kick off time, would have been perfectly alright to play. It’s just one of those things, a rash decision has been made and it’s done now so sod it.

Millions of kids didn’t lose two years of their life, they weren’t all in a two year coma. All that happened is that they didn’t have to go to school for 23 weeks over a 60 week period and had to wash their hands more often. Lots of kids absolutely loved spending time with their family and it’s a time many families would never have got together otherwise.

I do agree that that the games should be going ahead and it would be good for the country for it to do so, but this time next month nobody is going to be arsed that games were called off in the sport across the country this weekend.
I understand this perspective but severe weather cancellation and this are not the same.

One is a reasonable measure to protect the public’s safety and is accepted as necessary by nearly all involved.

The other is an arbitrary measure that protects no one from anything, except perhaps the PL/FA from having to finally confront the behaviour of Liverpool supporters at Anfield.
 
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.
In a word, virtue signalling.
(I know it's two words btw, to save somebody the trouble of pointing it out)
