I must say I'm surprised at the volume of hostile sentiment in this thread towards the late Queen Elizabeth II. Very surprised indeed.

How are you going to mourn today? If Everton took the lead tomorrow would you not have celebrated because you would’ve been busy mourning?

Weekend ruined because of the Royal Family.

My son is autistic. We go to every Marine home match that doesn't clash with Everton. He can't go to Everton, because the crowds and the noise just overwhelm him.
Anyway, he's in a right friggin' mood. He doesn't cope well with plans being changed. So now I'm stuck in for the entire weekend because he just won't entertain the idea of doing anything else now.
Fuming, and feel bad for anybody who's shelled out to go to an away.

All the children in the country should be mourning for ten days, they should paint their ipads black as a sign of respect, and cry at least once an hour.

On the news yesterday, people outside the Palace, with their kids.
I'm appalled. Some kids will actually get really upset by this if they are dragged into the whole mourning thing. Keep the friggin' kids out of it. They don't need to be potentially getting upset about shabit like this.
What would be so disrespectful about football going ahead?
Also, if the sentiment is that a lot of the country are going to be genuinely upset or struggling with the news then if anything distractions are going to be good for people to take their mind off things and have a sense of normality. Not to mention how many people are going to end up out of pocket in the middle of a cost of living crisis. It's a ridiculous decision with nothing behind it other than people thinking about optics.

Difficult one.. Grandson is president of FA.
I personally don't get the mourning thing myself. Having seen her lots of times in bushy/Windsor parks out and about seemed a nice old dear. Doesn't impact my life so ?
It's just the rest of them, the leaches, failed business which we needed to bail out etc.. as they can't be seen to fail.
Prince/Duchess of Kent being one. Right righteous bell ends and all because his cousin was the queen.
That's the bit which does my head in. Your either head of state and should be direct family which get that status not the others
But Id rather have a monarch than a president that is 100% for sure.

Prince Andrew is out and about for the next few days to be fair
Some people struggle to separate their thoughts on the institution from the human being.

Yeah, most kids are a lot more resilient than most adults.
It still doesn't sit right with me though. Dragging kids into it. Especially the younger ones. There was people there with pushchairs, looking all sad and teary. That's brilliant for a 3-year-old that, isn't it?
Their minds are full of wonder and imagination at that age. For some of them - for probably only a short amount of time, admittedly - it'll be upsetting.
They should be left well out of it, imo. If they don't ask about it, don;t tell them anything about it. I'm sure they'll pick up the historical significance of it as they get older, if that sort of thing takes their interest.

Knee jerk reaction from the FA. They chose the easiest decision without a thought about anyone else who had booked travel, accommodation, time off work.
