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.

Go for a walk and see the world around you.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
