Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
As I said, era of meaningless gestures.
The FA has cancelled it all as a mark of respect. As they have said. But obviously policing considerations for the PL fixtures, particularly in London, will have been considered.
We can all agree that it started around 800A east coast time though.
It's still no one else's business to tell a person what event is signifcant in their life.
Nah. Even the first news reports came through too late to change match prep.
not you again! I remember that election thread well - I didn't mind the flaming cock but your ban was well-deserved for this nonsense.Unfortunately not. This country likes to pick and choose when to be holier than thou and The Royal Family is the quintessential relic.
We won’t be the only ones not going to the Palace I guess
Absolute madness.
My plans for leeds now down the drain? Any official confirmation for next weekend?
Only because some of them used to be forcefully and violently removed from their positions.
No worries, you obviously do not need much proof before jumping to conclusions.
I think its fair to say, the games do not need to be cancelled this weekend, but we live in a time were the fear of the backlash overrides common sense.
Well 28 years ago your new PM stated they (royal family) should be done away with as they were nothing but a relic of the past.
These people have nailed their posts to the ground and are standing by them regardless of how ridiculous they look. They've even changed the argument because they are slowly realising they misunderstand the original post and continue to spout nonsense.
Yes because we all continue to hold the exact same views we held 28 years ago, or the views we held as a teenager, don't we?
King George VI wasn't. We beat Preston 3 days later. And beat Derby the day after his funeral.
I’ve got it booked for Leeds too, is it definitely off now?
How can seemingly intelligent politicians think it's a good idea to force people to mourn, and to also decide how they mourn? Shouldn't mourning be a very personal and individual process? If someone doesn't feel like going to a football game they have the option not to. All this accomplishes is pissing people off.
Also, some googling told me that when JFK was assasinated sports continued as normal in the US, just like in England after Churchill died.

Santa is real
Tbh, the main point was the guy spouting bollocks about the OP comparing 9/11 with the Queen's death which he clearly didn't do. It was an innocent post about 2 major events in terms of the impact they have on the "nation". I highly doubt he meant the event of the Queen dying significantly affected his life. I also highly doubt he spent that much time in thinking about all the significant events in his life. 9/11 was the easiest one to recall. But the absolute melts having a go at him for "comparing" the two is ridiculous because he didn't.
If you think today's inflation or high energy prices are big historical events, you'll be surprised reading the Queens wiki page.
And don't tell people what has to affect them, it's not an objective thing.
Likewise, others would laugh at us, ranting over pausing football for a week.
Hahaha this is one giant bullsh1t. We still live like it is 9th century. Mourning a monarch that lived a very long life...
Wouldn't a thing like football help with mourning !?
Giant bullsh1t and it shows some people are still way too important. When is that going to change?

Good on us!
That means we'll probably batter the city scum next game!
Who do we play after the funeral?
Also, when's Charles gonna die?
A CL final 3 just after his funeral would be great.
Nothing official but I would be concerned.
Any idea if European games are likely to be cancelled mid week? I'm guessing that it's very unlikely?
City will probably be our next PL game and if Charles can avoid meeting Truss he may survive.
I for one hate how these things are used for political advantage. I mean, channel 4 cancelled Frasier this morning because they didn't feel it right to air a comedy on TV because the queen has died. This is next levels of insanity to me. The BBC having obviously been fed this by the tories even had the nerve to say that "in light of the recent news the energy and cost of living crisis is now obviously insignificant". Just wrap your heads around that for a while. Something that is making millions of people live in poverty and suffering is now insignificant because a woman worth 2.75 billion pounds has died at the age of 96. Anyone else?
I think the decision to postpone is very bizarre and the sign of a sick public realm, but there we go.
English players can't even sing the national anthemAhahahahaha
White text?
Cancelling the football = forcing people to mourn?
I agree it shouldn't be cancelled but come on like.
This is completely absurd. It’s like something you’d expect from North Korea. If they had any sense they’d use this as an opportunity to get rid of this pretend monarchy nonsense. The fact that they’ve gone as far as to cancel children’s matches is honestly quite sickening.
BBC saying that was really taking the piss. The cost of living and energy prices would still be extremely signficant even if one our loved ones died, never mind the Queen.
I wonder if the BBC will give the nation a 10 day rebate on their licence fees for those who aren’t interested in watching everything Queen related.
Apparently we don’t even get a bank holiday to mourn. 
Again I don't know what you are talking about, you aren't offering any sort of ration debate.
It's Just soundbites, it's my queen she is cherished around the world, shut the whole world down, you will live, it's only football
Pretty much summing up how daft it is
The queens death doesn’t affect our ability to work. We should continue to crack on.Apparently we don’t even get a bank holiday to mourn.
It will severely affect our ability to watch and enjoy football though. Health warnings are being issued across the nation.
Not sure why you think its wild, because its actually the most reasonable explanation for Trent's performance in Naples.Ahahahahaha

The English national anthem is the English national anthem, it's not like we play it at premier League matches.
Shocking decision. As bad as that penalty last night
