scottsdad Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 What exactly do the establishment expect people to do at the weekend? Sit at home in the dark with a tear running down their cheek and raising a glass to her? In what way does cancelling football matches help anybody? I mean, it isn't the case that all entertainment is off - you can still go to the cinema, still see most concerts, still go and see rugby league (in England), horse racing, cricket, golf, etc. Why has football once again been singled out as the bad guy who needs to be cancelled to "show respect"? We had enough of football being the scapegoat during Covid, and now this. Rotten, rotten decision. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'd say it was a mistake to cancel tomorrows matches. One of football's strengths is that it brings folk together. Taking that away is pointless and daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that will be dependent on when the funeral is. If it’s next Sat/Sun I wouldn’t be surprised to see it cancelled too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Football" has been singled out by absolutely no-one. "Football" has made this nonsensical decision all by itself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Pity about the postponement, as has been said a minutes silence would have been appropriate. I will be on the golf course instead where it will be business as usual with the exception of the club flag flying at half mast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean Monday 19th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I am on a rare and short trip back and missing my only chance to go to the ground and I'm feckin ragin. Made it to Kelty last week but I'd rather forget about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket off today back tomorrow Racing cancelled for two days, back on Sunday. IMO we will play next Saturday. The protocol I was talking about was the time the funeral was after the death not what organisations decided to do.
