Postponment of Premier League fixtures due to the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

As it will with every other team.

But most of them have actually won a game, we haven't.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Fixtures are condensed as it is. I can see it being off as a mark of respect but my opinion is it should carry on.

But most of them have actually won a game, we haven't.

Nobody mentioned about winning games, all teams have injured players we're not unique , we're on a level playing field in that respect.

 

[Drico]

Aaah Gorbachev, yes a biggie. I thought when you said 'celebrity' you were referring to some no-mark pop star or something.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to insult anybody - I mean, I liked the Queen. I think she fulfilled her role with dignity and aplomb. I suppose I am just amazed - even though I shouldn't be - at how in the pocket of the establishment the media is at times like this and how everything (particularly everything that distracts people from the mundanity and sometimes misery of their lives) gets shut down - while work, incredibly enough, must continue.

Anyway, it is what it is. Bread and circuses.

 

[McMagicT]

I've nowhere else to go: As usual the government has fell on its feet due to the untimely death of Her Majesty.
Due to 12 Mourning days the government will hold back payments for Energy, Ukraine, NHS, etc. Also, all the imminent strikes will be overlooked.

 

[Goodisongang]

Gutted if they are called off.

Wouldn't mind them just calling of our game so we don't have to play arsenal away and Pickford misses one less game?

 

[Moomin]

Rangers and West Ham supporter groups want to attend the stadiums this weekend with no football being played but to have a 90 mins silence.

 

[brieverton]

I don't see the need for postponement of sporting or other cultural events, perhaps outside of the initial 24 hour period after the death and on the day of the funeral.

People have to go to work and attend to all other obligations during this time. Sport and culture is a celebration of life looked at very broadly, and a way for people to honour life and being alive.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Fixtures are condensed as it is. I can see it being off as a mark of respect but my opinion is it should carry on.

If they do postpone 1 (or 2) they should extend the league by a week rather than fit them in before that (e.g. we'd play Arsenal 31st May and West Ham 4th June).

Nobody is being forced into being sad

Weird little footie fans getting pissy because they can't watch their own tribal gang of multi millionaires pass a small round ball to each other on the telly

It’s not weird little footy fans though it’s people wanting to escape from the stresses of every day working life maybe want some dad and lad or mum and daughter time at the match, or any other sporting event that will be cancelled.

If you want to mourn or pay your respects that’s fine but the country shouldn’t come to a stand still because of it.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

This is where we need to have a bit of a sense of proportion.

On a personal level to the family, of course it’s sad only the most cold-hearted anti-royalist would say anything other but just like my neighbors who i don't really know whose dad who died in the back of the ambulance waiting for space on the ward on Monday, its tragically sad.

However, I'll never understand why some people view her as some kind of integral” part of my life” but whatever floats your boat.

So, to inflict days/weeks of enforced national mourning and bringing normal life to a halt, apart from work of course, just pushes the more neutral people away from the royal family Just as it did with Diana’s death, understandably tragic on a personal basis for the immediate family, but the mass hysteria was completely beyond me.

It’s fine to have a day or so of wall-to-wall coverage, but we can’t have another 10 days of it before the funeral, and regular life needs to continue in the meantime.

Fixtures are condensed as it is. I can see it being off as a mark of respect but my opinion is it should carry on.

But it won't mate, the FA /FL will show a mark of respect and this is the way it will probably be done.

 

[Abertonian]

Weren’t they like 20 points clear at the top?

They were top but the wheels were coming off a bit, Klopp probably ran out of mentality monsters juice.

In the lead up to the covid break they lost to Atletico x 2, Chelsea, Watford, and struggled to beat West Ham, Shrewsbury Town (replay after a draw), Norwich.

 

[Moomin]

Football will be off but Horse racing will be allowed to continue as that was her fave sport to watch.

Nobody mentioned about winning games, all teams have injured players we're not unique , we're on a level playing field in that respect.

I know, so i don't see the problem with postponements., if it means other teams getting their best players back as well as ours. I think our best 11 is comfortably enough to keep us up and around mid-table.
