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

PL shut down and now some bar in Glasgow shuts its doors...

Why are they leaving flowers on a doorway where drunken Scots men obviously go for a pee after a night on the lash?

2/10 for mourning.

Are you really on a football forum calling people plebs for being football fans?

They eat their prawn sandwiches with the crust still on.

I wonder if next week's European games will go

should be full cans of Irn Bru & deep fried mars bars left at the place of worship in some kind of quasi-Buddhist recognition

Hopefully I can get a refund on my train tickets to London on Sunday that are now not needed

I tried with LNWR, I was going Saturday morning and coming back on the official coach as I didn’t trust Avanti. They didn’t want to know.

A sport which someone, who you would say, is common cannot attend, get invited, or have anyway of being involved in.

It's why a lot of olympic athletes are all from private schools.

Tennis is another good one - Emma R for example came from a very wealthy family and is very posh.

So it’s a class thing rather than political?Andy Murray, Dan Evans went to state schools, so that discounts tennis.

Great tribute to her tbf by inconveniencing the working class

Rugby League it’s going ahead. Maybe that’s a Tory sport.
What on earth is a Tory sport? Are there Labour sports, Lib dem sports? Communist sports too?

Undoubtedly.

UEFA will make them play

You should go anyway so you can visit buck pal and pay your respects.

Whoa whoa whoa, look at this from the BBC...

The government's national mourning guidance states cancelling or postponing sports fixtures is not obligatory and "at the discretion of individual organisations", including on the day of the state funeral.

On the day of the funeral, the guidance suggests events could be rescheduled so that they do not clash with the timings of the service and that organisers could hold a period of silence or play the National Anthem at events, with players wearing black armbands.

Now why couldn't the games have gone ahead with the national anthem and black armbands? That'd have taken care of stray shouts or chants.

The PL are spinelss gets.

PL, EFL, WSL, SPFL, NIFL and Cymru Football all bowing, only the LOI have stayed strong and kept games on

People can play any sport, you do get a leg up by having money in certain sports, tennis would be one of them as proper tuition and places to play cost money.

Football is deemed a working class sport because anyone can get a footy and go for a kickabout. I guess you can do that with tennis but you are not getting the same experience.

Beyond a load of serf cockneys

HaHa, p*ssing myself here @davek. Glorious hyperbole!

Not really, do you think over the last decade it's been easy to pay or even have enough money for parents to get their children to training or sports teams? Never mind the money needed for the equipment.

It's definitely due to politics, people have less money due to the policies from your elected government you horrendous tory.

Don't even know who Dan Evans is but Judy Murray was big in the tennis side of things for years.

Like I said, it’s to do with class or money rather than politics
