Have you seen the winter schedule with the World Cup mate

Yeah, its a bit of a mess but its not as bad for us as those teams who also have European games, it actually benefits us

Instead of watching the footie I'll have an entire day having to talk with family members. The wife is hinting at a shopping trip with me, her and the kids. Someone shoot me now.

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.

I never said it would be disrespectful if it went ahead. I just gave my opinion on why I thought it was being cancelled.

Some utterly gobshite blues in our midst, thought we all had that bit of dignity, respect and humility that set us apart from the rest.

YOU WILL GRIEVE!

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.

They don't care, told my 6 year old, she said.. yeah and now there's a king and a queen, there used to be a queen and a Prince, but they are both dead now, why was there a Prince and not a king? I had no idea how to answer this..

I was going to say it's bound to be a Tory, but with those Starmer market drones it might be one of them.

Shes pathetic and a liar either way.

You’re not the only one who thinks it’s over-the-top.

But yes, we all have to put up with it. I’d rather be getting on with my life and watching the footy this weekend, but there we go. ?‍
