You think they wouldn’t have cancelled without The Firm’s say so.

In a few words “tough s**t”. :sherlock:

That was harsh, it's not this poor chaps fault this woman died. How about Buck House doing the decent thing and at least refund his expenses?

I’m glad it’s off, we would have made tits of ourselves during any minutes silence.

Something like that has become more likely when we play again I’d say following the ludicrous decision to effectively ban football this weekend.

I see the English rugby is going ahead. All games in Wales cancelled. Senghenydd rugby club will lose £4,000 today as a result of not having a game. Ludicrous!

Probably as good a blog as you have written.
Agree wholeheartedly about the pointlessness of calling football off.
My view is that the authorities were leaned on by a Government which has a visceral dislike of football, the UK'S highest profile sport, and what it stands for.
Perhaps, on reflection for the best. Imagine if the boos started at Liverpool or Cardiff. Would be massive news and detrimental to the game as a whole, whatever over feelings on the Monarchy.

Yes im watching the cricket now. Good tribute before, not to over the top but all done and now on with the game. SA 32/5 so its a good watch if anyone likes cricket.

However the only reason football is off is surely as Liverpool and cardiff are at home. They can trust a test match crowd or an English rugby crowd but Liverpool and cardiff always boo GSTQ, they just decided it wasn't worth the risk.

Of course its just delaying it but the news will have moved on by then.

Moved on to what? I don’t think so.

Re: Premier League matches postponed.

It wouldn't be just Liverpool and Cardiff fans booing. Support for the monarchy isn't unanimous outside of the 2 cities. During the jubilee a YouGov poll had 22% of respondents who supported abolishing the monarchy. During the jubilee is when you'd imagine support would be at it's highest too.

It would only take a handful of people to voice their opposition for the minute silence to descend into chaos. Just look at what happened at the Hearts game on Thursday. One person shouted "**** the queen", they got booed, then in retaliation people tried to sing GSTQ, then that got booed all culminating in the minute silence being cut short by the ref. Behind Rangers, Hearts are the most royalist/unionist club in Scotland.

Re: Premier League matches postponed.

Utter rubbish.

We wont boo.

All football and sport should have gone ahead. Our fans would have been respectful im sure.

Dont mix Cardiff with certain fan bases.
