Anthrax Dave Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Regarding the football being called off, I got absolute pelters on the local Facebook page regarding Hereford's game against Farsley Celtic for posting: "People could have used the games this weekend to celebrate her life and show respect with a minute of applause. The matches may have helped the healing process that some need." I got called the C word more times than any other occasion in my life. I don't really see anything wrong with what I wrote but, **** me, the hostility and threatening messages was way OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of sad in a way. One thing we can say for sure is that everyone goes through grief in a different way. I don't think there's anything that unusual about how the King carrying out his duties like he is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly this has shocked me, but then I really don't hold an affinity for anyone outside my family or immediate friends. She meant nothing to me. Even my work is quiet today, I work in an insurance broker. So odd 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly down to landowners withdrawing permission, but a few where the run directors have taken their own decision.

Absolutely this. They wanted to be quick off the mark with something performative and completely misjudged it. There is nothing fundamentally disrespectful about holding a football match, and other sports are showing quite clearly that you can show respect whilst not grinding everything to a halt. Baffling stuff. Think other sports have probably now seen what a ****show this is and decided to do the opposite.

I'm getting even more suspicious now, after he was pulled up on lying to her a few years ago, when he met her, she looked well then two days later she's dead and in less than 24 hours he's written a speech that hasn't embarrassed the government and has redeemed his reputation slightly. I'm just thinking as he's not been seen or heard of for a couple of months he plotting his revenge, return in a script.

Garethjohn79 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 SKY's NFL channel showed highlights from last night and included advert breaks, now I'm not sure if it waited for the advert embargo to lift before showing it or not. But what would be worse in a full game on Sunday? the NFL with its advert breaks every 5 minutes, a cut to the studio and do what BT did at the United game, or a blank UKTV screen?
