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

[Tricky_Trev]

There’s no link at all between the two decisions - I agree that the Eriksen game should have been abandoned, but that has no bearing on the PL’s decision.

Personally I think that postponing the games is the right call and the correct way to honour the Queen’s passing. She’s done countless things for us, and improved our country’s standing in the world no end, so we shouldn’t just pretend that it’s a normal weekend, because it isn’t.

But those people that don’t see it as a normal weekend will still be able to do the things that don’t make it a normal weekend with or without football being played. That’s the point. It’s a normal weekend for more people than it’s an abnormal one. Literally most people in the country will be doing what they normally do, because life has to go on. Oh… except anyone that likes to watch football. They won’t be doing what they normally do.

They have tarnished her memory with this. They just cant wait to usher in the new king and put their foot down. FUCK EM

You sound unhinged...

For most people, it absolutely is.

If you want to mourn, grieve, watch endless royal documentaries that's fine.

But most people will be doing their normal activities. Except when we're not allowed, like watching the footie it seems. Or even playing footie, mate at work days they've cancelled junior football in their league(!) Competitive grief seems to be a thing.

Nobody is stopping them from turning up and playing a friendly.

So, the Brighton v Palace game should be back on, unless the PL cancels all the games for next weekend as well.

They will all be cancelled. I would imagine the U.K. authorities will ask UEFA to allow the European games to be postponed as well.

There’s a few on here.

Not as bad as Twitter but if there’s ever an argument about fucking democracy off and turning into a absolute monarchy, it’s reading the comments of these prats.

you must be pretty annoyed and the multitude of other facets of society that will simply continue, with people paying their private respects as and when they want.

There really are some crass posts on this thread and IMO opinion why don`t you non royalists just leave the thread.

I think we shud be celebrating the queens life and not cancelling everything and being morbid,she was 96 and devoted her life to this country ,and its no shock she has passed away,i do think an opportunity of playing the football or sports ect,and belting out the national anthem around the country by millions would of been the perfect respect showed,and deserved,saying next weeks aswell by looks of it ,i think they got it wrong there personally

Read the thread and look on social media. The majority are going to treat this like a normal weekend. The decision from the PL only seems to have pleased a very small group of people (some of whom in this thread who don't go to games anyway).
