Can only speak for myself, but I’ve never booked anything that long in advance, specifically because shit can happen. You don’t expect an event to be called off in two days though - barring an act of terror or something.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
I can't take you serious.
This is involving kids playing sports too, why are you sounding ignorant and saying it's ok because it's happened to you before,
I've had many a united match moved, cost money but this is canceling the whole sports calender for one person affecting millions of people maybe, it's absolutely ridiculous and will be if they cancel the kids games too.
Makes zero sense. Baffling you being from outside the UK and seemily all for all this nonsense
Could have gone full strength last night ffs.
Don’t bother arguing with adults who are throwing their dummies out of the pram over not being able to watch football for a weekend.
Still. She managed to do it.
Them playing is entertainment. Them training is not.
It's why I'm at 99.9% of people are at work as normal today but there's no live sporting events going on.
Actually feels like the PL are going to get more flack for cancelling here, as they seem to be out of step with a good proportion of other sports.
Have tickets for the Leeds match, first time in a few years being able to go and now that match will be midweek in January meaning I'll have to take time off work for it, if I can go at all. Absolutely gutted.
Very out of touch decision.
Yeah go to work with a stiff upper lip but don't you dare fecking enjoy yourself.
Which other sports are cracking on as normal this weekend?
Not since Anderson left anyway.
I'm posting on here so obviously not enjoying myself!
Bringing the queen up in relation to football is clutching at straws bud.
Word on the street is Liverpool might play their CL game in Dublin because of policing issues.
In 1952 a whole slant of fixtures happened after the death of the last King.
Thing is i am at work today why isn't my work closed, either everything shuts or nothing does, why is football so special it needs to be cancelled.
As for the monarchy, am i empathetic that The Queen died absolutely as i would be for anyone that's a mother, sister, grandma and great grandma and her family must be grieving which is sad for them, what does her death mean to me absolutely nothing it doesnt change my life in any meaningful way i have gone about my business in my usual way today and will tomorrow and so on.
Until yesterday
Racing are going ahead Sunday with their big event.
Weren't you in here last night saying football will defo be on?
What the feck are you blabbering about? This decision is on the FA, nothing to do with the government, and you can include any of the other examples you rant about there too. Last sentence, fair enough - she's a hypocrite... but it's also her job.
I suppose I'm a monarchist - I'm not a republican - but I don't get the logic of the FA going against the government's tacit advice especially in a season that's already going to run out of days to play matches for some clubs (it just will) by the time new year rolls around.
It'll help Chelsea, Potter with much more time to work with the players before they actually play a game.
It's an emotional decision, they didn't do it 1952 and there's no reason now to move games other than on the day of the funeral. Personally I don't think HM would want people to even be sad. She had a great life, a long and great reign and was 96.

Ridiculous decision.
Oh and now it’s for the kids? They’ll be right.
It’s not just any one person, it’s a person beloved by millions. You don’t have to like her to understand she’s been the symbol of Britain for close to a century. Whether you like it or not, you’re living in a country with a monarchy. That’s how it goes. It’s blatantly obvious how so many people cherish her across the globe. And we always knew that this would be the case when she passed.
Why does it matter if I’m outside the UK? Your queen is my queen.
Stop having a cry, it’s a week. You’ll survive.
That was a game with no fans attending, no food in the concourses etc?
Because I'm guessing you don't work in a field deemed as "entertainment".
I can totally understand them cancelling next weekends games as travelling and the amount of policing involved for that weekend is going to be huge and a chaos.
It’s just cancelling this weekends fixture card just makes no sense whatsoever.
Nope. I said there was no chance we'd have 10 days with zero footy, which has already been proved right as you lot played after I posted that.
If that was the case they'd play every game in Dublin.
I am absolutely ambivalent about the whole thing but it's an unprecedented event, the death of the longest reigning monarch.
Makes absolutely zero sense. There’s now scheduling issues, but more importantly people from all over the world are out of pocket and majorly disrupted for absolutely no reason.
No I’m not, I’m pointing out that games get cancelled/postponed for a variety of reasons and these refunds aren’t givenYou’re comparing a ongoing global pandemic that killed millions to a 96 year old who’s passed away
There is a connection between the Royal family and the FA whether you like it or not. What's the English national anthem again?
I understand people are upset with the decision, but I'm not surprised by it in the slightest.
"for a week"
It's not just this week, next week will be postponed as well. Then there is a 2 week International break. So no PL for a month. Next time you see play us play in the league will be at the Emptihad on Oct 2nd.
Meaningless gestures are the bread and butter of this country and I would expect no different having lived here my whole life. Truly a strange place, oh well. Another week on top of the league! 
Looks dumb as feck from a distance but I guess that's Britain. Weird obsession with royalty and servitude.
You know what the English national anthem is (or any national anthem for that matter) has zero to do with football right?
The ultimate Stockholm syndrome.
I couldn’t either, but it’s a bigger picture thing. Probably the most significant event of my lifetime apart from 9/11.
You guys can all watch this weekend’s NFL games, promises to be a super exciting weekend !
