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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Was going to watch the live French game tonight on BT, took it off air and treated us to Aus v NZ cricket! Bizarre.

I watched the first half, did it go off air in the second? Switched over to Girona.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

All the European televised games this weekend are absolutely shite too. Not a single decent one amongst them (Barcelona vs Cadiz, Bayern vs Stuttgart etc)

Went to my local in town tonight for my usual Friday night Karaoke and it wasn't on. The landlord said, 'We're not doing it tonight because of the Queen." I asked why he hadn't shut the pub then? He didn't answer.
Well, in fairness, he may have said something, but, in the stunned silence that followed my question, I fucked off out of there, sharpish - no way I was wasting money on a pint there - and went down the road where the pub had a band on. They were shit - not a patch on my Karaoke performances - but it's bad enough having no City without having no Friday night Karaoke.
I had great respect and affection for H.M. but, mourning? Fuck off! She was 96 and had the greatest ever fuckin' life, probably Karaokeing most nights, for all I know.

At least we won't see the usual shite v Spurs.

 

[Semper aggressus]

we really need to start using the word 'football' instead of 'sport' now (although cycling folded early as well).

i hope your show goes well, what is it?

True, only seems to be football doesn’t it, no idea why.

Thanks! It’s a play called Ladies in Lavender.

I was a fan of Liz. Good fucking Queen who we maybe took for granted. She held the monarchy together and it'll be interesting to see where we go from here - can Charles III hold it together?

However I can't see why us v Spurs makes a difference. I'm sure Her Maj would have loved to see Haaland v Kane.....

Football apart she would be fucking livid that the racing has been cancelled!!

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Could they just not trust the match going public to act in the correct manner?

My personal opinion is that she would want things to carry on and we, as fans, would have really done her proud. Instead, the PL decided that we, as fans, would not follow protocol.

This is not about us as fans, this is the broadcasters worried about how we could react.

I was on a packed tram coming home from work and was one of only a handful of sober travellers, drunk as skunks they all were shouting away at whoever would listen.

Sounds like a Rag defeat coming form Trafford Park.

Ha ha, brilliant, you’re so right
