It's just a good example of the hypocrisy of people who whinge about cancel culture suddenly adamant he should be sacked immediately. The first few top hits on that tweet were people that streams of anti-woke, cancel culture stuff in them that I saw. I just don't think it helps. I just think it causes more tension. 2022 is all tension. What people don't consider is the Queen was actually a very considerate person that had a lot of intelligent thoughts of history and the effect of colonialism. Was watching Simon Schama talk on it. A lot of bad things happened in history. I don't believe we learn by stirring up antagonism. Did people know that Liz was criticised by parliamentarians (talking 50s here) for apparently caring too much about foreign nations? Can't we just all get along? 😁 Edited September 9, 2022 by anagain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think they’ll be in a position now where most sides in PL and elsewhere will probably throw the FA Cup games as they’ll be playing 3 games in a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Thing is with the EFL games too. So they cancelled this weekends matches, they will most likely cancel next weekends too. Will they have to cancel the midweek bunch and make it 3 matchdays needing to be sorted out? And if the funeral is on the Monday or Tuesday, will that mean the Tinpot Pizza Tools cup gets postponed too that's due to be played the Tuesday?

Absolute scum the lot of them. This is all true but the telling thing was that when one of the parties was before Prince Phillip's funeral Boris apologised to the Queen rather than doubled down on it.

Haguey Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's all a bit over the top, probably a consequence of there being no new Monarch in over 70 years so people and businesses/sports bodies don't really know what to do or how to react. That plus the guidelines might be 70 years out of date. I suspect more modern protocols will be put in place for when Charles passes and we won't have to stop absolutely everything. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Can't help but suspect the decision to call off the Scottish games was at least in part to avoid the scenes of 10 sets of fans singing abuse about her all afternoon, not least seeing as most decisions in Scottish football are made to suit the interests of one of the otjrt two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think the PL have jumped the gun on this and bottled it and EFL just followed. I think if they knew the Great North Run and Racing would still go ahead on Sunday they would’ve played the games. Due to sensitive nature doubt any say anything but probably a lot of clubs/managers etc not happy about the decision. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
