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

[kaz7]

I'm just so sick of all of this bullshit.

The whole thing is sinister. The idea that their bloodline is somehow more dignified, more pure and all round superior to the rest of us. The idea that they are 'born to reign over us'. It makes me sick. It is in complete opposition to the basic principles of the modern world - that we're all born equal. That we're judged by our actions, not by the privileges gained through the accident of birth.

And now, after a 96 year old woman, who has lived off the fat of the land her whole life, has died - we're supposed to thank her?

Thanks for what, exactly?

She wasn't my queen, and he's not my king. I don't give a fuck, and I'm not sorry for saying it.

A society with so many in need is being gaslighted into prioritising the death of one old woman, because they think they're better than us. It really is that simple.

Blimey

Wow you really can woman.

 

[threespires]

You go to the apocalyptic gibbering hysteria thread..

Thanks :-)

Exactly , it’s about respect and showing the outside world that actually there are some things that take precedent over football in this country

people decrying other sports playing on don’t have anything like the reach that the premier league has

its a fitting tribute to the 70 years service she has given us

Yeah, sure those who are struggling to pay bills and missing out on much needed income are sat about whistling the national anthem in respect.

If it was fairly applied to all sports i'd be for it, or more for it

but the fact Rugby fans can all sing and drink in the stands, cricket fans the same and other sporting events going ahead - but football can't is nonsense and ridiculous

You would think they could have all got together and decided on a common course of action. The PL do some things very well, but some other things they really screw up.

That was a tough decision though. Damned if they do or don't!

It could have been a weekend of VAR bullshit in the news and lfc fans booing the national anthem. Not a way the remember this weekend.

Or it could have been what they're getting now.

Tough call and they've probably erred on the side of caution.

 

[bernard o'silver]

Rugby is on today though

Salford were brilliant

 

[Blue and true]

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.

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.

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
