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

[Ric]

Can understand games being called off on the day (or even weekend) of her funeral, but to potentially postpone all football over two weekends (and midweek) would be a bit excessive imo. Possibly unworkable too, with an already packed schedule due to the World Cup.

As someone not british, putting one person so far beyond others seems a bit weird, but culture is culture I guess.

Would think it is more sensible having the weekends games dedicated to her, wasn't she a bit of a football fan?

Respect to the Queen, but a woman who lived to be 95, who wanted for nothing materially in her entire life, passing away peacefully in luxury most of us can only hope to ever experience, should force thousands of businesses and individuals—most already struggling to stay afloat in the middle of an economic crisis—to lose large amounts of money? So people can do something that can be done perfectly well *without* having their livelihoods threatened?

Has the world gone completely mad?

There’s respect and then there’s taking the piss.

96 and good post..

Not looking forward to this one at all. Fully expecting another episode of the Kane & Son show. No point waiting until Saturday evening to say it so fuck off Spurs.

Not even factoring in the immense economic cost to businesses and individuals already struggling to stay afloat amidst an economic crisis.

If Dortmund was off there is no more midweeks free before the World Cup so that’ll be interesting to find out how they’ll manage that!

I think it would mean a lot more to those that go to games to pay respect at the match before ko in a crowd and place they have an affinity to, rather than postponing all matches.

I can't believe UEFA would even consider postponing games for the death of a head of state of a single member nation, it will go ahead

Edit: 2 member nations of course, I guess if any club will want to mourn, it's going to be Rangers
