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

Sure but if the scousers were a reason, they either don’t care about how football could be perceived in another jurisdiction or hadn’t thought it through.

As a cynic, if the scousers were the reason, then all the PL would have been worried about is their product

You may well be right.

I suspect that they’ve just jumped the gun and made the wrong decision.

Seen very few houses or shops displaying any flags or royal memorabilia this morning on my travels , the narrative of national mourning that the media are forcing down our throat seems way off the mark.

I’m not sure putting up flags is associated with mourning, but agree there’s not an overwhelming sense of grief across the nation. Sadness, yes, but someone of the queen’s age dying isn’t the shock that a younger person dying would be. Life goes on, and the football games should’ve too. A misjudgement by the Premier League and FA.

We all know what they are going to do. However, the media will scousewash it away again as they always do. Going to take some doing though.

They will applaud to drown out the boos
Bt will turn the mics off as well

Expected response from you tbh

What can I say, I am nothing if not reliable.

This is shit.

Since there is no football this weekend, I suggest watching ( The Figo affair ) on netflix.

It will give you another reason to hate Madrid.

Absolutely. The worse brainwashing culprits have been TalkSport radio, or as they are known here, TalkShite Radio. Just about everyone there is calling for the cancellations and all we hear there is how everyone loved the queen. It has become TalkQueen radio. After a day of this, I tried BBC 5 Live Radio and found presenters there completely different. To my surprise, most were against cancellations. The lovely Queen banners at the Oval Cricket Ground today show that this is the best way to respect the Queen. Not running away as the FA did.

I don't watch rugby but saw the lovely tribute, shows to me how wrong it was to postpone the football. A lot of people actually need it, me included

I shall be coming out of mourning around 5pm to watch Schalke, followed by Barcelona.
