Hmm.
Some lower league matches were moved from the day of the funeral but there were no PL fixtures planned
Scotland beat Belarus 4-1 the day after the funeral on the Sunday
Wait, are the games this weekend cancelled then? I saw that everything was cancelled tomorrow but surely not all weekend as well?
You wonder how they'll fit in the cancelled games in an already packed schedule.
Also, the European teams will still have to play next week I'd assume

Exactly. We still have to go to work so why should millionaire footballers get time off. Makes no sense. Keeping sports on will at least keep people occupied and busy rather then bein depressed all weekend.
I understand England national team game might be cancel or rescheduled. But EPL should go ahead. Like every walk of life will continue working as usual. I’m not expected to get 10 days off. England cannot afford 10 days off atm economically we should keep going
It's incredibly archaic of course, everything about the monarchy is.
What does it achieve? It's a show of respect I guess. Football is entertainment, I would imagine the opera, plays, concerts and other such events will also be cancelled for a few days. Sadly I'll still have to go to work.
There are tons of people though who genuinely do care about this as mad as that may seem to you or I. We had a day off work for the queens grandsons wedding in the UK ffs.
The UK is a strange place but I thought we all knew that.
Surely they aren't going to play next weekend either If the funeral is on the Saturday? Meaning the Premier League won't be back for a month since the International break is straight after
Chelsea get a mini preseason
Liverpool get time to regroup
We lose our momentum
Disgraceful.

Ten Hag will know this and give first teamers a game now with subs?
Why cancel games? Her life should be celebrated instead of a week of mourning instead. She was 96 and a lot of people don't and won't live to see that age, it's a blessing.
I'm English and on the list of things I care about, United are up near the top, whereas the monarchy are very much down at the bottom.
It's not only the foreign fans here who think this way, though of course we have many of them here, and that's part of what makes this forum great.
Throwing insults around because someone doesn't support your particular ideology is immature and unwelcome. By all means debate it, but let's try to stay classy.
As I said elsewhere, it's sad she died on a human level - but she had a good innings, and this was coming, we knew well before Christmas. She wasn't murdered, or died young, it's not a shock.
2 mins silence before games should be sufficient, there will be plenty of coverage on TV if you want to reminisce about it.

Ridiculous decision but some of the do-gooders will be here shortly to tell us it's a momentous event or whatever the hell they've been made to believe.
My thoughts exactly.
Just as watching us was getting good again, bit annoying.
My Mrs works at a bookies, she's been told not to go in tomorrow cause there's no races on. Wouldn't be surprised if more sports do the same thing.
Pathetic and predictable.
Madness
Dear, oh, dear.
For some reason I’m blocked from viewing this guys tweets
I never actually tweet and can’t work out why he would block me
Surely that would be more difficult to achieve if England are pencilled in to play a nation that was not part of the Commonwealth. Why would Italy (for example) agree to cancel a game just cos a figurehead of the opposition died?
All this.
I'm British and I really don't see the need to be over the top with this. Celebrate her life for those who are royalists. Show her proper respect, but you know, life goes on. She has a great innings and a very privileged existence.
I think Trevor Sinclair may have cancelled his career indefinitely with his most recent tweet. Amazing he found a correlation between racism and the Queen dying.
I don't really get taking away entertainment from people shows any real respect. Shut down work places and pay people to be on holiday, that would get a better reaction.
Well yeah but I've never lived there. There's literally no Irish person who would ever warrant that level of mourning so I just can't get my head around it. I suppose we also could have a different view of mourning. Funeral's are sad but also a bit of party and a celebration of their life and if you are actually in mourning distractions area needed so the idea of stopping fun activities and distractions out of deference to someone who's gone doesn't make any sense to me.
You saw a post calling someone a “flag shagger” in jest and you started waffling.
There was no hypocrisy to be found, unless you were to draw from that specific poster’s post history - you just used that post as a segue to start doing whataboutism about Pride and BLM. Weird guy.
Could you post it?
Do we still get to play our mid-week game next week?
Do you have an onlyfans?
I work with a lady who was in tears earlier. I think it's odd but I swear to god its real and she's not alone.
Wait until Sir David Attenbourough goes, 80% the UK will be a mess (and the other 20% are cnuts).
No one warrants the level of mourning the media is going to try and force on us over the next week or so.
I think we'd have to... Uefa have a pretty tight schedule
Am I the only one who sees forced mourning as counter productive anyway? From what I can tell, most people dislike the monarchy but in spite of it didn't actively dislike her personally. Basically, if a minutes silence was held for her, it would be impeccably observed by all Brits but only a few Royal aficionados would actually sob or feel overly emotional.
If you start shoving mourning down people's throats, they might actually start to dislike her rather than have an attitude of pleasant neutrality toward her as most people do. Cancelling football and trying to strong arm the populace into caring kind of taints her memory if anything.

It's also away, so hope we do. A whole month with no United is a crazy.
Midweek European matches cant be cancelled surely?
Sort yourself out ffs.
