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

Apparently they're saying that they want them to go ahead but policing issues next weekend, especially in London, could prohibit this. Apparently the geniuses running our sport have now worked out that missing two weekends in this already unusual season could be highly problematic. So we'll probably end up with some games being played and not others which is going to disadvantage some teams. Clowns.

Forget the games every team gets a point

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.

It's not over missing a day's football.
It's over the inability of folk to understand why it's only the football that has been cancelled and not anything else.
If every sporting event had been cancelled then most people would be understanding of it

Thanks Kaz!

Now what can I do to enjoy the weekend...oh dear, no footie.
Might watch a bit of telly...Oh but there is nothing on but dead Queen stuff...
Let's put the radio on then while I'm driving...
Ahh.. every BBC channel is going on about the Queen being dead.
Oh well, I'm sure Talksport has some 'interesting' debate between brain dead presenters and idiot callers to take my mind off the Queen being dead

Oh no, apparently the Queen liked horses so they are gonna talk some guff about how much she liked racing.

Good Grief!

Why is EVERY channel dedicated to this? I guess that they have all had this stuff in the can and ready to go for years and are delighted to run the videotape and all bugger off for a few days and leave the royal-watcher weirdoes to run things for the next month.

This extended mourning is ridiculous. Where organisations feel they have to bring stuff to an end in case they get ridiculed by the right wing media. People can mourn without everything stopping. People have booked hotels, paid for travel and now they are fucked financially which is utterly wrong.

We all mourn loved ones. We can have a day off on the funeral and people can choose how they use it. Either travelling for the funeral to London or watching it on the telly.

This blanket expectation means everyone has to change plans. Lose money. Miss important stuff, many while being respectful don’t share the desire to spend nearly two weeks doing it.

Will the CL games go ahead, as I know people who have booked to travel. This isn’t fair. I liked Liz, respected her and feel sorry she has died but there is no need for cancelling stuff. Celebrate her life, this isn’t the 15th century we cannot stop the world. No one did it for my mum, or my granny. or yours. Those who wouldn’t want to go to any event due to this have the choice not to, those who would want to, have no choice. And for me forced mourning isn’t mourning at all. It’s utter bollocks.

I think she did a fabulous job for our country and was a good person. But I still agree with much of your sentiment there.

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?

I’m actually more annoyed about grassroots and first game of the season being off, the Queen was an advocate of sport. I see no gain.

Don’t get me wrong the Spurs game is frustrating but I felt inevitable.
