GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,805 Posted September 8, 2022 From a footballing point of view , not too dissapointed its off. A strange thing to say off the back of winning 5 in a row maybe but I'm not quite sure we were playing well enough away from home just yet to have gone to and won at Burnley. We now will have had 3 home games in a row with Bristol C and WBA to continue our form and then hopefully afterwards raising our level away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,551 Posted September 8, 2022 I'm very sad about the queen passing and shed a tear too, she was amazing, but I don't see cancelling everything helps anyone. You can mourn and show respect while carrying on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're talking about a few football matches postponed as a mark of respect. Agreed. I agree Capt, just making a point. Agreed this is a shorter break, but surely same logic applies?

I will say again show some respect. Rip Elizabeth. I absolutely do NOT live my country for the history it presided over when that history involves instigating slavery and imprisoning gay people. I DO love my country for at least trying in some areas to develop and acknowledge these massive errors and become a better place. I love it because it allows me the freedom not to have to agree with others just because they want me to. You love our country for whatever reason you want, I’ll love it my way. You don’t get to tell me to shut my mouth just because you disagree. I have many who agree with me. I’m not telling you you’re wrong am I? If I’ve upset you in some way. It wasn’t my intention, but honestly it’s your problem and I say what I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can mourn and show respect while carrying on. Indeed. I'm sure it would have been more of a 'mark of respect' for minutes silences and national anthems at every football ground this weekend...rather than everyone now just moping around not kniwing what to do with themselves , probably just drinking in a pub or shopping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,084 Posted September 8, 2022 I don't get it. It's sad that she died, I wish she hadn't, but only in the same way that I wish Doris down the road doesn't die too. I don't at all get cancelling sport because of it. I also don't particularly get the love for her. I'm not against her or any of the royals (apart from the obvious!), but I struggle to understand the "she was amazing" rhetoric and people who don't know her getting upset about it, but, each to their own I suppose. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But seriously, whether you agree with the monarchy or not, she was the head of the country and had been for 70 years. She has sacrificed her entire life for service to the country (yes whilst being handsomely rewarded for it) the least people could do is not **** and moan about a football match being postponed, it comes across as selfish and entitled. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
