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

I said people who enjoy cancelling but if you want one example, JK Rowling.

Dear God I hope this is satire.

 

[Impeccable One]

Has it actually been confirmed yet that next weekend’s fixtures will also be postponed, or is there still a chance they could go ahead?

Not confirmed, there is a chance, but it is a slim one

I think her Majesty was a model of stoicism and clearly a fan of sport. I doubt she would have wanted to impact financially on individuals or families in the way the sporting decision will inevitably do. I think she would want folk to carry on as she did throughout many challenges in her reign. I also agree as others have said pre ko could’ve been very special in terms of people genuinely paying respect and reflecting on her life.

As I understand it, all sport restarts on Monday so the following weekend including Sunday games will be OK.
However if the funeral is as we expected a week on Monday, then any planned games for that day/night will be cancelled.

 

[bellsouth]

Football has badly misjudged this decision - today was a day for reflection and the day of the funeral of course, but like other sports have recognised, moving forward is essential and in no way disrespects her majesty

Dear God I hope this is satire.

No it ain't. The clown lost it on an earlier thread.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nah respect for people in mourning isn't bullshit. It just isn't. I'll leave you guys to it though, I didn't think people would be so triggered over missing a days football.

Apologies for my tardy reply, I’ve just been up a bell tower fixing a bell to ring 96 times for the queen.

You keep telling everybody that you mourn better than others though.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Do think part of it is so clubs can have time to plan and organise pre match tributes for the Queen before kick off next weekend

 

[The Northern Baptist]

It’s actually mad the amount of grown men in this thread moaning about a weekends football being cancelled. Is your life that dumbed down and devoid of anything else that a game being postponed affects you so much?

What about partially grown men?

You take that high ground and stick your nose as high as it will go.

There’s about 10 of you now that feel the same. Not sure who made you moral arbiters, but there you go.

Opinions hey?
