SouthCoastRed Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 1 minute ago, PaulHartman71 said: Only reason to cancel any games would be for lack of policing. This is just a nonsense really. That’s the excuse they’ll have binned them on, which is completely bollocks. I could see a coherent argument with stopping the London games, with everyone rushing to Green Park to dump some ****** petrol station flowers, but in the provinces it’s just a cop out, but….they’ve got history for it, which is why it was obvious that’s what would happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwig Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It seems a bit odd that for all the people saying what she would have wanted no-one thought to confirm her wishes with her while she was still alive. Would it have been too much for someone to ask if she still wanted planned events to go on as normal or if she preferred for everything to be put on hold until after her funeral?

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...

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?

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...
