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

[blueinsa]

She gave us 70 years.

The least the public can do is give up a weekend of football.

I don't think many can quite comprehend what a huge moment in time this is, irrespective of your own viewpoint.

It's bigger than any sport, stuff our great grandchildren will be reading about in school 100 years from now.

Certainly not did City fuck up again at home to Spurs this weekend.

Only this.

Presuming there will be a minute silence at the dortmund game.
Liverpool also at home midweek...

I never get this - she gave us 70 years. To me she just seemed to live a life of extreme privilege in opulent surroundings. Don't think her and her family even know what the fuel cap is?

Whilst I don’t agree with all your sentiments (oh and I am an ex serviceman) so hardly a raving commie, I just cannot see justification for cancelling all football games when a plethora of other sporting events are carrying on. Either the etiquette is Sports are stood down for the duration of the state mourning period, or they aren’t.
Football seems to have been singled out for special treatment.

Sinclair being investigated for his comments by TalkSport. Sister station of Talk Radio where all the presenters believe you can say anything you like, obviously until it’s something they don’t like. Hypocrisy knows no bounds anymore and satire is no longer needed…….

The irony works both ways, those who enjoy cancelling people now trying to say Sinclair is entitled to an opinion and around we go.

As it always is.

I understand that some people don't like the royals and us being a monachist state, however this is what our country is and so the people have to accept this decision.

We are not just talking about a 96 year woman, we are talking about The Queen!
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest living British monarch!

This is major news, front page news, not just here but in every country around the World! Flags are half mast in the USA for example and they even had a minute silence in last night's NFL game and the US Open.

All you have to do is look at the huge crowds who are out in London, Windsor and Balmoral. The people who have sent their condolences, world leaders, people who are well known and who are and have been top of their profession.
No other person in the world would have received that level of response from people, no one! and just wait until it's her funeral.

I know we all love watching City and football, and this is an inconvenience for some, but an event like the Queen dying is unprecedented and will take preference in this country, and rightly so, and like it or not, everyone has to live with it.

I go to the rugby mate. Trust me, you don’t want beer allowed in the stands at the footy. It’s a fucking nightmare!

Ha ha having sat next to fuckers stinking of pot I wouldn’t relish some pissed up herbert slopping beer all over me!

It singled itself out.

The government has said it’s up to individuals and individual organisations and the Premier League and FA decided to cancel football.

The ECB have decided to continue with cricket tomorrow.

Any fingers of blame need to be pointed at the footballing authorities, not Westminster or the Palace.
