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

Surely it's a bit late in the day now to decide to call off matches?

Does he mean individual clubs? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me (e.g. "your club disrespected the Queen whilst ours did the right thing"). Should be either all on or all off. Make a collective decision and stick to it.

Matches have been called off minutes before games, so whether they do or not it isn't a time decision.

You would think so huh

Apparently it was late in the day yesterday so today is counted as D day

Yes, I got that wrong, cheers

In terms of the day of the funeral, it still looks like the Monday.

I think there's a bit of projection going on in that last part. If I find myself at a church funeral and the hymns break out, the reason I don't join in isn't because I'm being an edgy ****, it's because I don't believe in the gesture and I feel like joining in would be disingenuous and, in turn, disrespectful. They're not my customs and they're not my beliefs.

You shouldn't feel the need for everyone else around you to follow suit in order to be content with the gesture of respect you've chosen to show.

Indeed. So just stay on the concourse, or don’t purposely draw attention to yourself not observing it in your seat. We managed it at Old Trafford in 2008.

I’m the least religious person you’ll ever meet, and I too don’t join in with hymns at church christenings, weddings and funerals. But I also don’t stay sat down, turn my back, get my phone out, stick two fingers up in the air or start booing during them neither.

And you’d condone “filling someone in” for not observing a non mandatory minute’s silence would you ?

Yep, if you don’t want to do it fuck off to Anfield with them cunts.

So take it that Liverpool will be playing

Are there any Bluemoon posters alive when King George died in 1952?

Oooooooh
