Spurs (H) - Postponed due to the passing of the Queen (pg67)

How long was the mourning period or however it's referred to?

I’m afraid that information wasn’t on the Bluemoon history section.

This is for the Spurs match and if it will be called off.

There's a thread in off topic for this kind of stuff.

You must have missed the word “postponement” in my post. Or maybe you don’t know many / any synonyms for “called off”.

Cheers.
funnily enough I was in the media centre today as the news came through.
Just cannot see how 9 days and 3 matches can be lost.
Will be what will be I guess.

We must have just missed each other. I don't know if cancelling sporting events was part of the 'London Bridge' protocol but I suspect it was. We'll see.

So what happens to all those people that have arranged hotels and transport?

Do they just lose out?

Seems crazy to postpone everything.

Minute's silence followed by the national anthem and black armbands would have sufficed.

Probably would have been more respectful as well. Never mind, we must have our hysteria.

All two of them?

I think you’ll find he’s not.

Most of the country couldn’t care less if football is on or not this weekend. Don’t think that’s an exaggeration.

The queen passing away is huge. Not saying I agree with postponing, but was bound to happen

So, what you're saying is, I should sit at home and be solemn and miserable for the next ten days because a 96 year-old woman has died peacefully in her sleep? I take it I have to work during these ten days, can I still crack a joke and banter with my colleagues during this time? Or would that be disrespectful? Must I wear black for the next ten days? Can I watch Netflix and Disney Plus during this time or is that enjoyment also disrespectful?

I understand and fully respect that some will be sad and want to mourn, but don't then assume the whole country is one bleeding heart of anguish, because it isn't.

I lost my Grandfather and Grandmother earlier this year, they were my King and Queen. I was cut up but I didn't dwell and deprive myself of one of my greatest pleasures when that happened, so I sure as shit I'm not going to do it now.

You've got the media trying to convince us the nation is harrowed whilst simultaneously showing us footage of the same nation taking selfies and smiling outside Buckingham Palace. The whole thing is a piss take.

(Not directed AT you, but at the prevailing sensibility you are expressing.)

And the reason you are free to say that is?

A little ‘istree lesson needed for some. And, no, my Granny was not the “official” Queen, either, regardless of my personal feelings, but that didn’t mean I disrespected who was.
