The fuckwits at the FA couldn’t piggy back on other sports decisions because none had been announced by the time they met yesterday, so they completely shit themselves, took the safe option and cancelled, terrified of what the reaction of the Daily Mail readers would be if they played on and others didn’t.

Play it safe and at least we won’t look like a bunch of morons by calling games off.

Then 2 hours later all other sports announced they were carrying on as normal and they were left looking like a bunch of complete incompetent wankers anyway.

At least they remained on brand.
I reckon they were worried about people not respecting the minutes silence and the negative impact on their brand.

All the ‘posh’ sports are still going ahead as organisers must feel the people attending can be trusted to behave themselves!

As someone else pointed out earlier thank fuck for Netflix etc so we can avoid the nonsense in the media!
Yes, it’s great to have an alternative to all media about the queen and king on Sky and Prime. Like House of Dragons and Rings of Power/
:lol:

I’m looking forward to catching up on ‘the crown’

As a mark of respect the met office have packed up doing weather forecasts. Holy fucking shit some people have lost their minds.
Hopefully, you have a window that you are able to take a peek out of and make your own mind up ?

No windows in DB’s basement unfortunately :cry:


The golf is on, the rugby is on, the horse racing is on, the cricket is on, but the sad fucks in the FA are sitting in a darkened room at home squinting through a gap in their curtains pondering when it will be safe to come back out again :roll:
You weren't complaining when I wheeled augie in dressed up in his gimp costume. :lol: :wink:

Bad weekend compounded for me, with aer lingus cancelling all flights after 2pm today due to an IT glitch ,spent nearly 4 hrs queuing outside the terminal ,to be told at 1.55 flight was cancelled

And then to top it off ,went into a shop ordered a plain chicken baguette, paid for it went to get the bus to go home, opened the baguette and no chicken in it ,girl behind the deli thought I ordered just a plain baguette. I'm now going to go out and shoot an albatross for luck.

The moment the death was announced, the virtual signalling committee gathered and decided that cancelling ALL football (even under 11s) would send out the message that they really care. Meanwhile cricket and rugby did something.

I was due to go to Wimbledon for the football today, so I am quite happy with The FA decision. Only 9 days to go :roll:

Must confess, I am not looking forward to my next live game. England v Germany at the end of the month…

Personally I can't see why the games should be called off 60,000 people standing in silence in multiple stadiums would say more than nothing at all,
However as has already been reported a percentage ,however small ,can't be trusted to keep silent and their noise will tarnish more in the eyes of the rest of the population the media and the world .
I appreciate that many of you boys from over the water do not have the same feelings toward the Monarchy that many do here . Personally I don't care one way or the other but the woman had the respect of more than just the British population . She was given a job and did it under the constant glare of media attention ,she did it well and to many she was their distant grandmother .
I also see the double standards of Horse Racing and Cricket being played over the weekend ,if one is off so should all be . However it is what it is , I believe it was the decision of the Premier league hierarchy not the Police or the politicians .
So we have a week off but if the excuse for the cricket is that it's international and the away team is under a schedule then it's safe to say that the PSV game should go ahead on Thursday.
Agree apart from the idiots thing
Been going 50 odd years and have never seen self policing better observed than in football grounds.
The media will media
Fuck em

I know, it actually feels like we the British Public are being forced to grieve... All the radio channels are Queen this new king that.. FFS.

The tV channels are all the same the BBC being the worst...It feels like there is this huge Big Black Cloud over everyone and everything and we MUST Suffer and feel Gloomy.. Oh! Woe is we FFS. :roll:
Plenty of radio stations still playing music
Talksport still talking football
Working a cab inlondon
Peoples feelings happening organically
Quite right it should be marked
Like every other major event I could totally avoid it if such predisposed
Lots and lots of days in life
some of them are defined by an event
It will pass as they all do
