Again, Irish forum. Why would we want the games postponed or care beyond a cursory RIP?
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Before I knew she'd passed tbf. Football's irrelevant when something like this happens.
I did wonder if they'd let it go ahead to allow fans to mourn up and down the country but probably not?
Hope not
Kings and queens and trolls and dragons. Same same. Bring on the football!
Why not?
Would be dumb. The vast majority involved in the premier league don't give a feck (many owners, coaches, players, fans).
Go to your flag shagger forum mate.
Canceling is very OD.
She died I’m sorry for the loss but everyone dies. Carry on with the games, wear an armband, due some minuted if silence, whatever you want to do to pay your respects but cancelling games makes no sense.
This loss does not affect an overwhelming majority of people.

I have no idea what a flag shagger forum is.
I'm certainly no royalist, if Lizzie is the last monarch I'll be happy.
The whole "let them mourn" thing is kind of dumb. It's not family. It's a random person who people won't really think about 1 hour later because this person had nothing to do with their lives. They won't be sitting there crying an hour later let alone days later or for 10 days.
Respect.
Very little of that about at the moment.
Will there still be like football podcasts coming out and stuff?
EDIT- Like the football ramble, will the Guardian put the breaks on it for 10 days?

It would be immensely stupid but understandable if there was precedent for this but if it's true that the footy wasn't cancelled when previous monarchs died then it would be infuriating to cancel the games now (especially given that nobody gives a flying feck about the monarchy these days compared to 70 years ago).
Some people care, plenty don't. Nothing wrong with that.
Not like we're spamming the condolences thread is it.
if they cancel games they better be compensating people who have paid.
Actually I interpreted because you're Liverpool and you're having a terrible time so thought it was a funny jibe given all the 19/20 covid stuff to deny Liverpool winning the league etc
I'm giving you credit for comic wit by mistake seemingly!
That live in Portugal, I agree but your on a English team's fan forum and the British Monarch has just died.
Maybe read the room mate
Allowing individuals to rule, even nominally, over a population on the basis of bloodline is something I'll never understand. Putting a stop to sports in response to the death of said nominal head of state is just ridiculous.
You spelt Irish forum wrong
Did anybody mention England are not North Korea yet? Ridiculous that football should be cancelled because an old person died. People have booked flights, hotels and are looking forward to it and not have their money wasted.
I mean it makes 0 sense but I’m not British. Do people really care that much? Its just an old person who gets called a fancy title.
We all know football fans are a sensitive bunch. Expect tears for weeks. I've been crying all season long in preparation for this moment.
Well I was going for that but didn't want to be too insensitive.
I can definitely see it happening but I don't think it should. We're gonna be bombarded enough as it is over the next month or so. The whole of the country shouldn't have to revolve around one person dying.
Insulting another member
You have no idea what she has done do you, truly?
and I ain’t your mate
retard
Chelski geezer on an Irish forum angry…… you’re free to leave at any stage
Why the hostility buddy?You can feck off mate using words like this
You shouldn't use the r-word by the way. That's quite insensitive.
Do people really care about football? It is just a few geezers kicking around a ball.
Hope not, it’s a stacked football calendar as it is due to the slumlord World Cup.
You're free to support an Irish team mate
I am no Royalist but having The Queen as head of state has been worth it just to stop Tony Blair from being President.
RIP
RIP
What a weird response. My question was heartfelt, I’m not from England, I thought she was just a symbolic figure hence the question. I can’t imagine liking or mourning someone who claims to be my king or queen but again I feel like this is a cultural thing and she did just die so I’m going to respectfully not comment on this clearly sensistive issue.
What is she done? Care to explain?
No the majority of us don’t care but the media will portray that we do and we are forced into mourning. When Prince Phillip died TV Channels 1 to 5 were all playing the same thing about his life. I can only imagine it will be 10 times worse for the actual Queen (check out the BBC Sports page as an example).
I have nothing against her, may she RIP, but ultimately the world moves on. She was 96, had a fantastic life, with absolutely nothing to worry about for the entirety of it. I find it strange that people mourn someone they don’t even know .
I'd bet there's a good portion of people who care a hell of a lot more about football than they do the Queen.
Surely you can still play football whilst paying respect? I don't understand why the two have to be mutually exclusive.
No I’m really not. It’s forgotten about when posters make assumptions we should be all grieving and agreeing football etc should be postponed when this monarch nonsense doesn’t make a bit of sense to us. It was the same when the English fans were shocked the majority of us wanted England to lose last summer in the Euros.
Theres as many, if not more, foreign United fans on here as English. To expect reverence for the monarchy is idiotic. This is how the wider world is discussing her death.
