How a 96 years old woman dying could be that significant. I mean, even this year only we had the first full scale war in Europe in more than 2 decades, with probably over a hundred thousand people dying, a non-trivial risk of nuclear war, double digit inflation after 2 decades, skyrocket energy prices. But yeah, a 96 year old woman who drank a lot of tea is the most significant one.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
All of that is perfectly reasonable.
Indeed. Mourning whilst sat around on Fortnite rather than getting physical and mental exercise. Yet they’re still in school? Haven’t read the thread so maybe there is some logic I’m missing to it but I don’t understand why kids can’t play football. We’ve been told we can’t even organise friendlies, which makes no sense.
They will be cancelled too mate.
Please, show some respect to the far superior season 6 of Big Brother
Senator Lidia Thorpe described Britian’s Elizabeth 11 as a “colonizing” queen and raised her fist in a black power salute while taking the oath in Australia's parliament. Guess not every Ozzie thinks like you then.
Yeah I read in this morning's Irish sun that the Aviva was offering itself up, but they didn't state what game they would use.
Amen to that
Prince William is the president of the FA so wonder if that’s part of the decision in terms of paying it’s respects?
So, this weekend is definitely called off?
May as well cancel the WC too. Score one for the free world!
Yeah, already confirmed by the PL.
We live in such a gutless PC world these days, we live in fear of the snowflakes.
Devolution has set in.
Devolution has set in.
Yes. Tomorrow is Monday.
Here is an article issued only last year that highlights just some her greatest achievements Queen Elizabeth II - Greatest Achievements - Hattons of London
She inherited a life of priviledge, but not through her choosing, and used it in a way to make millions of people's lives better across the world. She was not fame or power hungry - she was a decent person in many respects.
Don't tar us all with the same brush.
She's dead, people need to get over it. Yeah it's pretty big news and the end of an era, but life has to go on. Cant stop everything and pretend we are still in the 1800s just because someone has died.
I'm sick of hearing she's dead on every fecking channel like it's breaking news, it's been about 18 hours, everyone knows now. There's no story. It's not developing, it happened and it's done.
We were due someone coming in here and dropping the "snowflake" phrase. Once again proving that the people who use it, are actually the truly overly sensitive ones.
Hope Martial regains fitness before the next game.
At least now no one has to pretend that it's about police presence.
Oh give over. Who are you to tell someone what the most significant moments in their life are or should be? Like it or not, the media coverage worldwide has proved that it is a very significant moment.
I'm reading this sat on the toilet with the runs at work listening to Hanging Tough by New Kids on the Block on the Muzak.
I don't think I could be more irritated if I needed to be.
No one was?
My cousin has the start of his football season tomorrow. He's 12.

Good, two less days of this horseshit.
I dunno, some parents at those games act the right cnut.
Was I dreaming the whole debate about police? Wait, I'll check.
No, it definitely happened. People did suggest that the games will be postponed because of policing.
Because it should of been 11/9, but Americans are weird and write the date the wrong way round.
Schedule was already quite loaded because of the winter WC, but 2 more games to stuff in somewhere in spring is madness. Two games a week will be quite common this season, not that I complain.
I guess the FA Cup will see more 2nd string lineups now.
I guess the FA Cup will see more 2nd string lineups now.
I didn’t see anyone suggesting that was the sole reason though? Unless I missed it?
The Royle Family was a decent watch back in the day.
I can’t even tell what’s satire at this point. The cancellation was never in doubt.
Will you English people ever see fit to end this circus of kings and queens?
But now that grassroots games of 12-year-olds are getting cancelled, we can forget about policing considerations playing any part in the decision at all. Clearly it's not a factor.
Sounds like you're just mad because your country isn't classy enough to have one
The odd thing is, life is carrying on as normal, absolutely nothing has changed for anyone. It's just sport and entertainment that has been placed on pause, everything else is exactly as it was.
I thought he said, in his lifetime, not for him.
It is a symbolic moment, that is for sure. A bit like the death of Michael Jackson, but on steroids. It is definitely not significant though, considering that virtually nothing important will get affected by this one. With the Queen dead, and the King alive, the UK will still import 2/3rd of the cheese, which is a disgrace.
That's the only positive out of the cancellations. Martial returning to our game at City.
This made me chuckle. Agree.
