Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted April 10, 2021 I don't think there were any Premier League or FA Cup games at 3 anyway, so it only really affects the EFL. But I'm guessing the funeral will be a pretty lengthy affair, so switching kick offs to 12.30 or 5 won't make much difference in terms of a clash, will it?

Well if it goes on aslong as the coverage on BBC, reckon it will be put back a week. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most 90+ year olds are massive racists. They grew up in a different era and find it hard to move with the times. Doesn't mean anyone shouldn't wish her well or mourn her eventual passing. Just not any more than when any other elderly lady passes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 497 Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Why would 90 year old be racist, when do you assume someone stops or starts being racist, don’t think Tommy Robinson is drawing his pension yet Edited April 10, 2021 by daly 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 148 Posted April 10, 2021 I'm assuming that the rearrangement is down to the clubs with agreement with the EfL. In the original scheduling, Sky picked our game last. The way the last few games have gone, we could be promoted before playing so it could backfire but of course Bournemouth (who also play on Tuesday) are also in need of points. Therefore, in any rearrangements I'm expecting we are still on last unless some games are move to the Sunday - although this seems unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 141 Posted April 10, 2021 I wonder if the whole schedule might be moved to Sunday, so we'd be 8pm Sunday evening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a full midweek schedule on April 20/21, I can't see any Saturday games moving to Sunday as most games include a team that will play on Tuesday. I'm thinking 12 or 5 on Saturday, or possibly even a Friday night switch for those who don't have fixtures this week (April 13/14). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a society we live in. Indeed. In a year when well over 120,000 people have died too soon from a virus, we should all grieve the passing of a 99 year old man succumbing to old age. Entertainment should be curtailed, government should be partially shutdown, little kids playing football should stand in solumn silence. We should all watch wall-to-wall media coverage fronted by tearful reporters, while billboards beam his visage at us from all angles. Forget that those same reporters spent years broadcasting his insults and racial slurs. Now he is the best of us. And don't worry about the 119,999 others. They shared a minute's silence. They had their turn. But this one? This one was really special. 8 days of national mourning should suffice. Suppress any rational thoughts and, whatever you do, remember to doff your cap, peasant.

What a society we live in. While we have our “moments” on here, I agree completely with this. There is so much talk about how we now have a more tolerant society and yet people can’t wait to jump on the internet or have a protest because they’re not getting their way. Respect seems to be a thing of the past. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
