People who don't care what the financial impact is to various workers. Of course, games will be called off for snow and waterlogged pitches, but that sort of thing is not controllable.
I myself have a round of golf set up for later - will toast the Queen in a local tonight.
Shame on you , you bounder.

I'll be at home with my wife having the odd snifter of Copper Dog.

With the Queen's love of horses and Horse Racing, surely the one football match that should have gone ahead today was the one at Cheltenham.

The home of National Hunt racing.

Sadly a great oppportunity missed.

Ha, I usually agree more often than not with you Sluffy. 😉

On this occasion however, I’m afraid I’d have to divert, despite being a committed royalist, from your agreement to postponing games. I accept what you mean about other sports stopping for a day but actually there were a few games called off on Friday anyway. Strangely I find myself concurring with NAT for once in that not attending the planned football match won’t encourage people to think of the Queen as much as those attending games singing the national anthem and performing a minutes silence. Either way is ok by me but I don’t think attending a game today would have been seen in any way as being disrespectful.

I've never said it would be seen as disrespectful!

Basically I think people have got hold of the wrong end of the stick entirely on this.

There are TWO separate parts to this not one.

The first is that the football authorities are showing their respect to the late Queen and honouring her by not playing the latest round of football - as THEIR mark of respect.

The second is the fans.

The next games clubs play WILL be marked by them in some way as the CLUB's show of respect to the Queen, probably by holding a minute's silence.

That is when all the fans can come together as a whole.

It's simply that the footballing authorities and the clubs/fans are doing it in their own ways - as is their right to do.

Hopefully  the Tuesday matches will see the restart of the season.

I agree with Sluffy. Got a good day's gardening in yesterday. Much more productive.

Watched the contrived Windsor walkabout on TV afterwards. I expect some might have liked it but it all seemed like a sham to me and I'm not a big sham fan. I'm not a little sham fan either tbh but the sooner the gruesome twosome are back in the USA the better.

I agreed with the matches being postponed and think next weekends matches should also be postponed.It surprises me that English Test cricket prefers the money than to respect the Queen but maybe it shouldn't.

Thinking as a blinkered Bolton fan, if the club was  in the Premier League and had a full squad available against an injury hit Arsenal i'd probably want the match played but for small time fixtures  in the 3rd Division against Cheltenham and Peterborough there's no urgency for these matches to be played

Nobody who supports the canceling of the football has answered this question...

WHY is cancelling football seen as RESPECTFUL?

I understand that the governing g body have decided to honour the Queen and pay their respect by cancelling the football, but nobody seems to be able to say why they think that CANCELLATION = RESPECT.

They all keep saying it is. But why is it?



If they said, all fans need to bring a pint of milk to the ground and pour it on their head before kick off to respect the queen we would all ask why pouring milk has anything to do with the queen being respected. I'm asking the same question. It's like everyone just accepts that not going ahead with plans is a kind of respect.

The football authorities are HONOURING the Queen by not playing.

Honour
noun

High respect; great esteem.

THEY are showing their highest respect by not carrying on as normal.

Clubs/fans can and will show THEIR respect at the next game played.

Don't forget to take your pint of milk with you when you go.

Why is not carrying on somehow tied up with being highly respectful?

Almond milk is better as it doesn't require the abuse of animals to obtain it.

Because that is how THEY chose to honour the Queen and show THEIR respect - which is THEIR right to do.

Just out of interest have you seen ANY of the 92 Premier League and EFL clubs, their owners or their chairmen or even any of their players complain about the games being postponed...?

No, me neither...

If it wasn't the bleed in my brain bleed and the stroke trying to kill me it was the Queen with sheer boredom the day after!

The Thais are just like the royalists here in the UK with the father in law even phoning up about it reminding me to put the TV on. I had it on even in HD and if it wasn't for the meds sending me to sleep then this on the telly sure would have. Laughing
