Huh? To me personally it hardly even counts as a news story. I get people are going to be sad but there are plenty of ways to show respect without further fucking up an already fucked up season.Sport is irrelevant at a time like this.
NonCan we all stay off work for 10 days to grieve
Wumming? Definitely not.
Absolutely mental? Perhaps, but even as someone who isn't a great supporter of the Royal Family, I do have huge respect and full understanding of the depth of feeling and respect that our late Queen has around the world.
Sport is irrelevant at a time like this. I'm absolutely appalled by some of the embarrassingly disrespectful comments on this thread.
You can't if you are French!
After the last monarch death in the UK in 1952 I recall that most sporting events were cancelled but not football matches.Sound a bit like the two transfer experts on Sky, if you don't say who told you.
Personally, a respectful minutes silence at games this weekend including City v Spurs(and Black armbands) will more than suffice I believe. The impact on a nation that is already struggling if there are12 days of mourning would be very damaging. Businesses on their knees could shut and lose more money, staff already struggling to pay bills would not be paid.
Obviously, you feel for anyone's family,/friends when someone close dies and I have nothing against her as a person.
There's nothing wrong with feeling sad if celebrities you don't know die (I thought itvwas sad when Taylor Hawkins died)
However,the whole concept of the Royal Family and the amount of money that Is handed out to them when so many are struggling is very devisive anyway. Potential mass disruption to people's work and leisure time (so important in grim times,)would only add to this.
