That games can go ahead this weekend. Now up to the sport itself to decide. Black armbands under consideration. |  | | |  |

Theres a lot of handwringing over this, both on here and on Tw@tter.
I'll be honest, I can see a case for both scenarios, and it maybe that the EFL and EPL decide they should do something significant and cancel this weekends rounds.
But, what really is getting my goat is those trotting out the "She was just another old lady", and "we didn't know her personally", lines.
The Queen of this country, for 70 (seventy) years has just died, I think the very least we can do is show a little respect and if that means the fixtures for ONE weekend don't go ahead, then so be it, I've got some decorating I can get on with.
Every single person I've seen saying, "why should we stop because an old lady died", I will bet my house on the fact they are all still happy to take time off at Christmas to celebrate a mythical man's birthday.
Not aimed at anyone specific here, but the "don't take my sport away" rhetoric is getting on my t^ts. |  |

It would seem odd for West Ham's game yesterday against the mighty FCSB in the European Vauxhall Conference league to go ahead right after the death was announced, when horse racing stopped immediately, and then for football games two days later to be called off when there's nothing particular (such as a funeral) happening on that day. Especially given that the St Leger on Saturday will suuuurely go ahead. |
That wasn't a domestic game though, different situation. |  | | |

The thing is, we are not getting time off, we are all still working. The comparison with Christmas is an absolute false equivalence. |  |

I would have thought their main issue would have been around suitable policing levels (especially in London) for these games, as there will be a stretch for all forces due to the number of extra people excepted in London over the next couple of weeks? |
Weekend just gone London had Millwall West Ham Cardiff Chelsea spurs all in a small space and coped perfectly. |  |
