It’s utter nonsense.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
So has it been cancelled?
Official announcement one way or the other is expected before midday.
Yep. Even if you're mother dies, she can't have a funeral because we all must mourn the death of the Queen.
I demand you not to have fun!
The royal family jump into each other’s thrones as soon as someone dies and continue their service any time someone dies
The best way to honour the Queen would be to follow their example and carry on
Also I don’t fecking care

The posts on Facebook about her giving her life for the country and we can't give her one day are pretty funny.
I see someone has started their mourning already. And is delivering it with a contempt fit for Royalty. Well done.
If all players don't express their unwillingness to play in emails written in red white and blue fonts, while kneeling and pledging allegiance to our new king i for one will stop watching forever.
And where are people all over Britain supposed to gather to cele, ah, mourn?
I was (reasonably) reliably informed that if the announcement had been before 5pm it would have been.
Thou must mourn!
Utter nonsense
Basically people are not allowed to enjoy themselves? Is everyone going to be forced to be miserable and avoid smiling too?
Queen > Fun > United
In that order

This is the kind of thing you would expect in the 1800's. I really hope we show more common sense, when our own Queen kicks the bucket.
The UK is a very strange place. This reaction to the death of a head of state is not even close to normal.
It’s so stupid. There’s nowhere to put them.
We're a strange country with some right weirdos. That guy at the end looks like he's in agony.
Domestic games might be off for a couple of weeks potentially but I can't imagine that can happen with the European games.
We have a Europa League match scheduled for next Thursday, for example, and I don't see how those games can be rescheduled.

Would be very annoying but it would benefit the likes of us and Chelsea with new managers getting more time on the training ground.
The cancellation of football and many events is stupid and just a bit sad really. Assumed we are all similarly affected which just isn't true. As I said in another thread it will do the queen and the royals no favours.
I imagine what’ll happen is this week will be called off, then “elite sports” will return next week in Britain, meaning our game in Moldova will happen. If local government say no then UEFA can’t make the match happen after all.
However next weekend is dependent on when the funeral/coronation take place. Could be on could be off, who knows.
Jesus, guy's actually crying.
... Fighting the urge... Must not... Must... respect...
I guess one issue might be the availability of enough police to secure sporting events etc. I would assume that huge parts of the police will be needed to secure the funeral.
This.
He was meant to go to the palace on Sunday ….Crystal that is
Just reschedule those games held in London around the funeral will be enough
I'm so flabbergasted I'm using the word flabbergasted twice. That's my quota for the year, gone. In just one post.
no
If giving your life for the country means travelling round the world and living a life of luxury at the expense of ones subjects then they are 100% right.
I feel sick.
At least this gives time for DCL and Pickford to come back...
It's ridiculous how much fuss is made over this. Was only a matter of time she passed. Her coronation was before the Busby Babes.
Bollocks.
So..... Football cancelled for a couple of weeks and then resumes just in time for a fecking International break?
