Nice and fresh for Dortmund

Thinking about those Denmark players who were forced by UEFA to carry on immediately after watching Christian Eriksen almost die in front of them.

And now this.

There's only one numbskull and its you
Team Britain what's that?
You can suggest whatever you want this is my country I don't have to accept the way it is structured is correct and be subservient to someone just because their family won a battle hundreds of years ago I have the right to want to change it to make it better
To make it clear I am anti-royalist and whatever a know nowt like you say wont change that

You wouldn't make it better by getting rid of the royal family. You're deluded if you think so. They cost the country fuck all, in fact they generate far more income for the country than they cost. And the Queen in particular has been a steadying, moderating influence for good. Things would be worse had we not had our Queen. Sad you cannot see that through your resentment and bitterness.

That sounds absolutely practical and straightforward.

Making English sides play in Ireland because of the mourning of the British Monarch… what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Maybe because she wasn't just any 96 year old lady? Just a thought, like.

More seriously, I don't think they should have cancelled the games, and I feel bad for people inconvenienced. But it is what it is. As someone else said, this is a pretty seismic event in UK history and you cannot reasonably expect everything to just carry on as if nothing has happened.

I think most would have grudgingly accepted the postponements if it had been Operation London Bridge‘s protocol.

It isn’t. It’s a committee of people scared to death of the possible criticism if games had gone ahead.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

For fuck sake.

Who has?

Makes very little sense your post.

I think it's clear that They means the establishment, the royals etc

He is obviously just looking for an argument

 

[J.G.Blue.]

You think postponing the football is bad, There was no bloody pop master on radio 2 today!

Well if he used his fucking eyes and brain he’d realise the only “establishment” that has cancelled football is the Premier League and FA.

The King and Government haven’t ordered anything shut and the government have said it’s up to individuals to decide how they mourn.
