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

No doubt they’ll use this opportunity to usher Andrew back into the public eye

I mean he wasn't in the public eye really until he was outed as a nonce was he.

 

[Billy Dean]

I'm just glad I didn't do my FPL transfers before this was announced. And it looks like there are tons of interesting games going on in foreign leagues this weekend.

Prem rugby playing tomorrow.

The difference being????

 

[LEONARD]

Safe to go into Town tomorrow?

They’ve obviously removed him from any events where he may have been e.g. the jubilee

 

[gianthogweed]

Yeah lets stop everything because some old bird in her 90's is getting planted

The difference being????

A minute's silence, if rumours are to be believed

They associate football crowds with 'rowdyism' and rugby union crowds with respect for the governing order.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

From a Kopite who wants to portray their club as an anarcho-syndicalist bastion of revolution?

Ha no. From someone neutral in the meeting. Their CEO said he was clear there would be disturbance to any memorial gesture.

No chance Charles hates him and I dint think William is keen, it was only his mum covering for him really.

But we are a nation. (If you don't want to be in it, fine - but so long as you enjoy the benefits of NHS, fire protection state security etc, you have to put up with other stuff you don't like, just like I do). Its a sign of national respect. People in mourning don't really want to hear signs of revelry elsewhere - just as if you were at a funeral you might not appreciate a loud, raucous, singing hen party going past in your time of reflection.

Nobody is stopping our self entitlement to having fun. Just lock yourself in your bedroom and do it quietly!

All the benefits of this nation you reference were brought about by the struggles of mostly ordinary people and endorsed by an elected parliament , they owe nothing to the descendants of William the Conqueror,
As a lifelong Republican I do find it amusing how a nations leisure activities are curtailed due to the death of a sweaty paedophile’s elderly mother,

 

[allen]

ah get you. Yes, in that sense, it's all very surreal.

The new money coming into circulation will be weird!

Yeah, I think regardless of your opinions on the monarchy, this is a very strange time for the country that very few of us have experienced.

Lots to take in.

No one is arsed about Rugby

The National girls U16 Rugby Championship Final ?

Yet if Biden, Macron or whoever Merckel's successor is in Germany died yesterday chances are their sporting fixtures would be under threat too. I personally think we should continue. Life is turning to sh it with the cost of living crisis, people need to have fun and enjoyment. If that enjoyment includes shouting at your team losing on telly or sticking £5 on Sally's Boy at the races then the public should have that option open to them. The next 10 days are gonna be like old fashioned Sundays. Is Songs of Praise still on the telly?

It really depends on how Biden went. I think natural causes we'd mostly be business as usual.
