All football has been postponed this weekend in honour of the Queen

[Denver]

It's been confirmed that no Sporting, Comedy or Political events will be going ahead due to the sad passing of her Majesty The Queen

[Mystic Mock]

Well I've put my opinion on this on the Queen passing away thread.

All I'll say on this thread is that it's the wrong choice.

[MTVN]

Not confirmed yet I don't think unless you have a source?

It's part of the Royal concessions to mark the death of the monarch

Talk sport said it

[thesheriff443]

You will survive not watching a bunch of over paid womanisers kick a ball about for one weekend.

[bots]

it's weird, the headline on the football pages on the bbc site is that the queen has died

[Mystic Mock]

It's part of the Royal concessions to mark the death of the monarch

Tbh I don't care about that.

I care that someone has died, especially someone that contributed so much to the country, but I don't think that it's right that people's right to want to escape the news if they wish to is taken away from them.

Football is one thing, but Comedy & Politics as well? Politics in particular is an important part for the public to be apart of, that shouldn't be being postponed.

Plus people do need some lighthearted entertainment as well, it's clearly the wrong decision to not give people that choice.

[Mystic Mock]

You will survive not watching a bunch of over paid womanisers kick a ball about for one weekend.

It's all about choice.

How can you think that it's right that people are being dictated into following a news story?

70 years of duty, this is more important than football for fxxx sake it was postponed more for covid.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i hope this is true

we need a clear weekend of reflection

[The Slim Reaper]

70 years of duty, this is more important than football for fxxx sake it was postponed more for covid.

170k people died during covid, and it was postponed to stop more dying.

[MTVN]

Can we have some guidance on how to behave this weekend if we're deprived of sport. Do we just sit at home crying?

[thesheriff443]

You will be down the pub as usual

[Mystic Mock]

70 years of duty, this is more important than football for fxxx sake it was postponed more for covid.

Covid was a disease that people didn't know how deadly it was initially, of course Football needed to be postponed for that.

Football nor any other event needs to be postponed because the Queen has died, as I've said on another thread we didn't get this when Margaret Thatcher died who was our PM fgs at one point.

I personally feel sad that the Queen has died, and I do appreciate what she did for the country, but I also can see that it's not right for any form of escapism to be taken away from people, that's just common sense.

[joeysteele]

Has this been confirmed .
I can't find anything that says more than it may be

Or have I missed something.

If it is, it is.
I can understand the respect angle however the Queen was the firm example of carrying on with things.

So basically you don't like Football so are okay with censorship, I'll keep that in mind if something that you like gets taken off for this.

And I don't get what generalization you're throwing around about Football fans, but I lead a reasonably normal life, hence why I'm arguing for people's freedom to be able to watch what they want, including the news covering the Queen.

It's all about choice, Football, the Queen's death, EastEnders, you name it, it should be available to watch.

[bots]

people are going to view that cancellation differently depending on how much they cared about the monarchy. I personally can't abide a week or more going over the same stuff on repeat and I don't believe that is being disrespectful to anyone

[Cherie]

The commentators on the Man U v S Real game have said nothing has been confirmed.

What a class act the S Real fans were during the minutes silence.

I think that is a bit unfair, it is not for you to tell others how to spend their free time

[Beso]

I need my fantasy fix...

[Cherie]

I think rather than following protocol they should judge the mood of the nation, after two years of being locked down and businesses struggling there really is no need to shut everything down

[Mystic Mock]

Personally I would agree with you on this.

Personally though I support the option for BBC News to be the hub for people interested in news about the Queen to go to considering it is a Government owned station.

Every other channel should be left as normal imo.

[thesheriff443]

I think that is a bit unfair, it is not for you to tell others how to spend their free time

It is when they are moaning about not being able to watch football when the queen is still warm.

[Mystic Mock]

It's because he doesn't like Football (which is fair enough) but I'd be interested to know if he was okay with it if something he liked was being taken off air over all of this.

And besides it's not just Football reportedly being taken off.

[Mystic Mock]

It is when they are moaning about not being able to watch football when the queen is still warm.

I'm not just moaning about the Football.

I'm moaning about people not having the option to watch almost anything else over the weekend other than The Masked Dancer or the Queen's death, surely you agree with me that it's a bit extreme?

[joeysteele]

I still haven't seen a confirmation it is cancelled.

I've only seen talk of around the funeral date out of respect.

Can anyone actually confirm this weekend's matches are off.
It will save me some typing.

Not being flippant there.
I'm a Royalist but it's not disrespectful to watch other things while still acknowledging the loss of someone important and respecting same.

[Mystic Mock]

Not everyone supports the Royals :shrug:

Tbf I honestly don't even hate the Royals (apart from Andrew) I just don't support people's options for escapism being taken away from them.

Because even if you're gonna take the Football off, why does the Comedy & Politics need to also be taken away?

[The Slim Reaper]

Exactly Joey.

All of the events in question could've done a big 10 minute segment celebrating the Queen's achievements, but instead they take the dumb approach.

[Mystic Mock]

She was more than just a royal, but some people can’t see past their own selfish needs.

It's not selfish to have alternative options on TV.

[thesheriff443]

It's not selfish to have alternative options on TV.

Listen there is hundreds of channels you can watch try thinking about people that only watch what the government says they can watch or those in wars zones

I’m sick of the poor me people in this world, your not hard done by

[Denver]

It's not selfish to have alternative options on TV.

Tbf this isn't any normal death this is a death of a woman that 80% of the country has only ever known her as head of the monarchy

[Mystic Mock]

Listen there is hundreds of channels you can watch try thinking about people that only watch what the government says they can watch or those in wars zones

Oh I'm lucky personally, I can go to those other channels that you're on about because I don't watch much on the terrestrial channels.

But what about the people that don't have cable or the Internet? Because believe it or not those people do exist, and what if they don't want to watch the news? You're basically telling them to stop watching TV for the week.

Plus it's not just about any individuals taste, it is about having alternatives, like you've just pointed out we're acting essentially like China in this situation, trying to force people into watching something that they might not want to watch.

For me I actually have some interest in the Queen, but I'm not selfish enough to think that everyone else does as well.

[MTVN]

Maybe we should all not argue today

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf this isn't any normal death this is a death of a woman that 80% of the country has only ever known her as head of the monarchy

I understand that, and that's why I would personally like segments in Shows/Sports to be dedicated to the Queen, but postponing these events? No it's the wrong decision.

[AnnieK]

Maybe we should all not argue today

Agreed

[Mystic Mock]

Maybe we should all not argue today

I'm passionate when it comes to censorship.

I will never support it, I do apologize if I've offended The Sheriff or anyone else in my posts, but unless we're about to be nuked or invaded by Aliens, I think that TV should have it's scheduling largely left in tact.

[Redway]

Good. There are more-important things in this life than football.

[Mystic Mock]

You are seriously supporting censorship just because you don't like the thing in question though?

[AnnieK]

You are seriously supporting censorship just because you don't like the thing in question though?

It's not censorship Mock.....

If it happens its because of protocol and respect.

I personally don't think it should be cancelled, mainly because I don't actually think its what she would want and I am sure there would be a minutes silence plus armbands etc but if it is cancelled its still not censorship.

[Denver]

What you also got to take into account is the players and and staff and everyone involved may not be in the right frame of mind? Is it fair to force someone who potentially thought very highly of her to play a game just because you want to see a game?

[Crimson Dynamo]

great news for brenda

Yeah don't think the censorship angle applies tbh

Sounds like a decision will be made tomorrow anyway. All events tomorrow are cancelled but nothing announced yet about the weekend

[Liam-]

Never mind football, Celebrity Masterchef was nuked tonight

[Cherie]

I have a feeling they wont be cancelled the Queen was a big sports fan maybe not football but I think if Charles has his finger on the pulse of that nation he will realise we have suffered enough during covid

[joeysteele]

Yeah don't think the censorship angle applies tbh

Thank you for that information MTVN.

I haven't seen anything yet which says all football is cancelled.
Thanks again.

65 thousand people all showing their respect together during the silences, will be more helpful to people feeling sorrow than everyone of those 65 thousand people were sitting in their own houses would.

[bots]

i think things like mourning should be a personal choice, not an authoritarian directive. Forced cancellation of events affecting millions is authoritarian and unacceptable outside of an emergency situation

[The Slim Reaper]

Completely agree.

Millions will be showing respect more than a few minutes silence or does 70 years only deserve a few minutes then back to the football

Censorship is probably the wrong word to use (but it is pretty damn close) but we are having loads of stuff (not just Football like The Sheriff seems to think it's about) that are reportedly gonna be taken off over the next few days.

Which pretty much forces non-Masked Dancer fans into one direction when they're watching TV around that time.

I know that I'm expressing my point in a harsh manner, but hopefully people can at least understand my point.

[Mystic Mock]

What you also got to take into account is the players and and staff and everyone involved may not be in the right frame of mind? Is it fair to force someone who potentially thought very highly of her to play a game just because you want to see a game?

But that argument can be made when anyone of influence passes away.

[Mystic Mock]

Never mind football, Celebrity Masterchef was nuked tonight

:joker:

In all seriousness though that is also wrong.

[bots]

what about fans that have paid for hotels and travel to attend matches this weekend. Are they expected to swallow that loss in times of extreme hardship?

[Mystic Mock]

65 thousand people all showing their respect together during the silences, will be more helpful to people feeling sorrow than everyone of those 65 thousand people were sitting in their own houses would.

If I'm understanding your point correctly then I agree.

People should be using these events to celebrate the Queen, and getting the community together, but instead they're shutting everything down.

That imo (excuse the pun) is an own goal.

[Mystic Mock]

i think things like mourning should be a personal choice, not an authoritarian directive. Forced cancellation of events affecting millions is authoritarian and unacceptable outside of an emergency situation

:clap1:

And it's not selfish to point this out.

[Mystic Mock]

You're just thinking about it from a Football perspective.

Say you're the writer of EastEnders, you'd probably do a couple of episodes celebrating the Queen's achievements over the years, and maybe even getting any of the Royal Family members to make a guest appearance if they're okay with doing that.

Other events will have to do other ideas, but that's just one example that I personally think is a lot better than the option that's been taken instead.

[MTVN]

what about fans that have paid for hotels and travel to attend matches this weekend. Are they expected to swallow that loss in times of extreme hardship?

I saw a West Ham who is travelling 3000 miles from somewhere in Europe for our game on Sunday, flights and hotels all paid for

[Zizu]

Plus that massive boxing event on Saturday night ?!

First ever all female boxing event .

Who compensates everyone involved ?

If Charles has any sense he will let events go ahead as a celebration of her long life rather then mourning the death of an elderly lady who did her duty to the end, she can’t have felt great on Tuesday but she carried on anyway

[Nicky91]

i agree with Mock for a bit


this weekend yes maybe nice to postpone for the first 7 days of mourning, but we also need to do it like how she lived, always carrying on with her work no matter what until the end


7 days of mourning, and then next 2 weeks after lots of tributes to the UK and Commonwealth's favourite mother



i also hope Charles will continue with the christmas speech tradition, if he's smart he'll do that, considering that was also something what made the queen be very loved by the public

[bots]

they are still showing the weekend fixture list on the bbc website with no indication of any postponement

[MTVN]

I think they were meeting at 9am this morning so we should know soon

[Cherie]

Are the words from the Palace relevant, we are entering into a period of Royal mourning rather than national mourning

[bots]

they are saying that they are waiting on the direction from the palace and canvassing the views of the involved groups

[Swan]

But so is expecting people to play a game instead of mourning which they may want to do

Literally name ONE Premier League footballer who you think wants to mourn the Queen all weekend?!

[Nicky91]

not a footballer, but i reckon Man United would want to not play this weekend, especially legends within their club would them not to, such as Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Alex Ferguson


i reckon most england team players then and now would want this weekends matchround to be postponed

[Denver]

Literally name ONE Premier League footballer who you think wants to mourn the Queen all weekend?!

Name one who wouldn't? You don't know what people are feeling personally you are only thinking about yourself

[Swan]

Name one who wouldn't? You don't know what people are feeling personally you are only thinking about yourself

99.9% of them.

Oh piss off with that only thinking about yourself nonsense. If they cancel the football they cancel it, it wont affect me, in place of the 2 or 3 games i usually watch at the weekend i'll just watch a film. I however feel bad for all those who paid good, well earned money to travel and watch their teams play. The country and rich sticking it to the poor as per.

[The Slim Reaper]

This forced mourning narrative is really weird. If you want to mourn, have at it and knock yourselves out, but that's where it should end. Stop trying to force grief onto others.

[Niamh.]

Name one who wouldn't? You don't know what people are feeling personally you are only thinking about yourself

A massive chunk of footballers who play in the premiership aren't even British so I'd say a lot of them don't care that much?

if a footballer doesn't feel he can play he can exclude himself from selection. Personal choice rather that authoritarian edict

[MTVN]

How annoying

[Crimson Dynamo]

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, the Premier League
have opted to postpone all of the top-flight fixtures in Gameweek 7.

An announcement on Gameweek 8 will, the Premier League effectively said, be
provided “in due course”.

If next week’s fixtures are also called off, domestic football won’t resume until
the start of October as an international break takes place later this month.

A statement from the Premier League read:

At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.

Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive, said: “We and our clubs would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty’s long and unwavering service to our country.

“As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.

“This is a tremendously sad time for not just the nation but also for the millions of people around the world who admired her, and we join together with all those in mourning her passing.”

Further updates regarding Premier League fixtures during the period of mourning will be provided in due course.

Caring and emotional feeling are two different things. They wont really care at all. They might care that she died like "oh that's a shame, rip Liz" then go about their business, which is what i imagined most did.

[rusticgal]

To be honest I think it’s a poor decision. I don’t see how not playing is showing disrespect. I think a rendition of the National Anthem before every game this weekend would have been more apt.

To be honest I think it’s a poor decision. I don’t see how not playing is showing disrespect. I think a rendition of the National Anthem before every game this weekend would have been more apt.

This for me too.

It is desperately sad to lose Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11.
It is odd in a way how her just being there, was in fact a part of our lives.

Even after her loss of Prince Philip her devotion to duty continued.
There are many ways respect can be shown.
It doesn't have to be in the avoidance of life and events.

Her Majesty's example was to carry on with duty and I really doubt, (obviously I cannot say with certainty), however I do personally doubt cancelling things would be her wishes.

So I think the post above as to a rendition of the National anthem.
With a period of silence also.
Would be as fitting as to respect and also possibly more in line with Her Majesty's own wishes.

[The Slim Reaper]

Literally name ONE Premier League footballer who you think wants to mourn the Queen all weekend?!

Name one who wouldn't? You don't know what people are feeling personally you are only thinking about yourself

A massive chunk of footballers who play in the premiership aren't even British so I'd say a lot of them don't care that much?

With all due respect niahm, your comment was about foreigners not caring about the death of the longest reigning monarch of the uk..not about football being cancelled.

How the conversation started........... Interestingly I'm the only one you pick up on :think: Praminon I've had enough of this conversation and you twisting my words, so good day to you Sir :douf:

surprised at the decision by the Prem as the Cabinet office advice was to wear armbands, play the anthem and have a minutes silence, I guess they felt the minutes silence might not be observed very well so they have decided against the matches going ahead?

[Nicky91]

european cup football has to go ahead though


either go ahead or english teams losing 0-3 without playing ;)


because there is no time to postpone we need to finish in time before the world cup

[The Slim Reaper]

The vast majority do though, show some bloody respect to them. Seems to me it's the ones who dont care that are making the most noise.

Very disrespectful to the people mourning.

Respect is a 2-way street.People aren't asking for respect, they're demanding compliance.

[hijaxers]

This for me too.

It is desperately sad to lose Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11.
It is odd in a way how her just being there, was in fact a part of our lives.

Even after her loss of Prince Philip her devotion to duty continued.
There are many ways respect can be shown.
It doesn't have to be in the avoidance of life and events.

Her Majesty's example was to carry on with duty and I really doubt, (obviously I cannot say with certainty), however I do personally doubt cancelling things would be her wishes.

So I think the post above as to a rendition of the National anthem.
With a period of silence also.
Would be as fitting as to respect and also possibly more in line with Her Majesty's own wishes.

Well its seems the FA were given the choice and chose not to play. Lots of people complaining they can't watch regular shows but this is a massive event . So many people will have to grin and bear it.

I think it is the wrong call so close to weekend, when people will have booked hotels and trains and stuff.... I don't think Her Maj would approve as Joey said she was one to carry on

yeah premier league the FA got everything to decide about, but not champions league, europa league, conference league

you either play there or you lose reglementary 0-3 and english football loses out on many points for the ranking compared to other countries who do play


and if england refuses to play here well then cypriot teams can also refuse to play since she was also their queen part of commonwealth

If Charles has any sense he will let events go ahead as a celebration of her long life rather then mourning the death of an elderly lady who did her duty to the end, she can’t have felt great on Tuesday but she carried on anyway

It seems like Charles or whoever made this decision got it wrong sadly.

This forced mourning narrative is really weird. If you want to mourn, have at it and knock yourselves out, but that's where it should end. Stop trying to force grief onto others.

The thing is Slim is that this bad feeling creeped in when Prince Philip died as well because again this country tried a forced mourning tactic on people, when really all they needed to do was just let people do what they want.

Including the horrible Chippy owner I suppose.

[Mystic Mock]

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, the Premier League
have opted to postpone all of the top-flight fixtures in Gameweek 7.

An announcement on Gameweek 8 will, the Premier League effectively said, be
provided “in due course”.

If next week’s fixtures are also called off, domestic football won’t resume until
the start of October as an international break takes place later this month.

A statement from the Premier League read:

At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.

Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive, said: “We and our clubs would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty’s long and unwavering service to our country.

“As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.

“This is a tremendously sad time for not just the nation but also for the millions of people around the world who admired her, and we join together with all those in mourning her passing.”

Further updates regarding Premier League fixtures during the period of mourning will be provided in due course.

And welcome to the United Kingdom Of China.

I'm sure GTA will be censoring violence in this country soon when they do another version of GTAV.

[Mystic Mock]

To be honest I think it’s a poor decision. I don’t see how not playing is showing disrespect. I think a rendition of the National Anthem before every game this weekend would have been more apt.

It's too much common sense Rusticgal.

That's not allowed in this country.:nono:

It’s extremely sad that the queen has died but I don’t agree with cancelling all the football this weekend. There are still ways for people to show their respects at the game, whether that’s a minute silence, a round of applause etc.

If I was in a position where I had spent a lot of money on football tickets, travel and accommodation for an away game for it to be cancelled I wouldn’t be happy at all.

we can still show respect and appreciation without cancelling something, it has annoyed me, but i'm old enough to remember similar stuff happening in the past.

That is completely different imo, people boo players at football matches week in and week out, this is about respect for the dead and it would be very embarrassing and hurtful for the family and for Royalists and indeed non Royalists who have some class, it could potentially have caused lots of safety issues as well and more police presence than normal. i heard quite a few Liverpool supporters on the radio this morning saying they would have been embarrassed if a section had booed
