Nobody is forcing you to grieve , i am sorry they just arent , how about be tolerant for those who care about it , do not blame her , that is just nuts

I have come to terms with the football being off. I will look forward to the rearranged game.
So as a Royaliist do you sit around crying, watching replays of the Queen touring the World, listen to Charles, play sombre music. Reflect on her life ?
I am genuinely interested as I don't know anybody who is grieving , everyone I have been with is going about their lives as normal, everyone I talk to think cancelling anything other than on the day of the funeral is pointless.

I don't think you quite comprehend that for many it isn't a huge moment. It might be for you. It isn't for me, and I imagine many others share my sentiment.

I'm not going to shed tears over a 96 year old woman, who has a led a life of imcomparable luxury ensconced in dozens of palaces around the country, passing away in the best possible comfort, with healthcare that peasants could only dream of until the very end. Nope. Not a fucking chance. My gran had to die in hospital this year, surrounded by few family members at a time, away from home and all the little she had left to cherish. I cried for her. But I'm not going to cry over this because the ubiquitous media and their royal lapdogs are telling me I should. Telling me we are grieving. Kindly fuck off.

Football is my life. I was due to go with my nephew this weekend. Those who wanted could have paid due respects at the game. Minutes silence, don the black armbands, get on with the match and with life.

Instead of that, I have to walk into the co-op for bread and milk whilst being serenaded by solemn music, then come out of the shop to see a billboard of her face, telling me once more I should be in a period of mourning.

People are struggling to feed their kids and heat their houses. But next month, once again, we're going to apportion hard earned millions (tens of) to a state funeral. And for what? Is that going to help with people's bills?

As a nation we don't need to grieve, we need to give our priorities a stark recheck.

Thank you, very well put and absolutely spot on.

Its quite easy to sit somewhere inbetween and not get overly emotional either way.

That's an opinion, and it's quite valid to think that, except you do live in a country with a Monarchy and all that goes with that and will for the forseeable future, until a government is elected that decides to hold a referendum and the public vote against it, which wouldn't bother me either way. Neither are likely as far as I can see any time soon though.

Anyone who thinks this country would vote to become a republic any time soon is I would suggest deluded.

However, I don't think questions of what our constitution should be is relevant to this thread (or even whether the country should tsand by tradition at this point in how it deals with the death of a monarch). And, any references to anything politicl are out of place. This is about what the football authorities chose to do when given a free choice as to whether or no to go ahead with games.

Ok, let’s settle it, then. All those that aren’t that bothered about football being off this weekend (and perhaps next) donate the equivalent of 2 days full wages (one for each match day missed) to a fund used to compensate all those losing income because of the postponements.

To be honest. It looks increasingly like the fear of fans disrespecting the Queen was a factor in the decision and the press seems to be bending over backwards to avoid mentioning LFC. You can take Celtic for granted after their display of sectarian hatred on their last visit to City.

Probably get called worst of my mates in the pub later ;)
I'm used to dealing with over-emotional people, let them blow off. Its better on a forum than at home with their family.

Lol.

How about all those that don't want to care OR allow others to care.. how about they forgo the bank holiday we will get. Not their queen according to some.
