Football OFF on 11:38 - Sep 9 with 2313 views | Parky | As soon as the decision was in the hands of the Premier League and the EFL, you just knew they would make the wrong one. |  | |  |
Football OFF on 11:38 - Sep 9 with 2296 views | GlasgowBlue | Sensible. Not the whole ten days as previously thought. Just one game as a mark of respect. |  |

West Ham demonstrated that you can play and still show appropriate respect. |  |

Football OFF on 11:42 - Sep 9 with 2151 views | Darth_Koont | Balls. I get it but I can’t help thinking this is more about being afraid of the potential backlash (and held personally responsible) if they didn’t do it. Football has probably been the worst at getting dragged into the growing poppy fascism of recent years so it isn’t much of a surprise. |  |

Would never have been the whole 10 days, but funeral is either going to be next Saturday or Monday so could take out games next weekend too. The Govt giving them choice and them making the wrong one isn't a surprise though. |  | |  |

Or you could flip it around and say it denies clubs and fans the opportunity to come together to show their respects. So I don't think it's clearly sensible. It's not a surprise though. |  |

Football OFF on 11:43 - Sep 9 with 2117 views | Swansea_Blue | I assume the churches will be closed on Sunday too, in order to show their respect? |  |

What purpose does postponement serve? And what harm does it cause? Weigh the two against one another. |  | |  |

If you want to sit in for 10 days and cry over the Queen, be my guest. [Post edited 9 Sep 2022 11:46]

Football OFF on 11:45 - Sep 9 with 2068 views | Bobbychase | So they'll be closing shops, pubs and leisure centres as well, to ensure everyone shows respect? Thought not. Nonsensical decision and completely against the public mood I think |  |

Why does a match being played equate to disrespect? Utter bobbins. |  | |  |

I think you're massively over reacting over postponing one football match. That is all. As I said, I thin k you care a lot more about this match being on than anything I do. |  | |  |
Football OFF on 11:48 - Sep 9 with 1948 views | LankHenners | Expected in the end but a complete joke really. Not a single good reason to do this other than some vague notion of 'respect' which hasn't been applied with any consistency across the sporting, or indeed any other, sector, and indeed is a decision that has been made in spite of the official guidance. Obviously the big wigs can give themselves a pat on the back for how much respect they're showing but people who have arranged (and forked out for) travel, accommodation etc. have been screwed over whilst any non-contracted workers at any such events have been robbed of a payday when, up until yesterday, all the news was about how now is the most expensive time to be alive ever. Sadly we are a very performative nation with a lack of desire to approach things with common sense. |  |

Football OFF on 11:50 - Sep 9 with 1890 views | itfcjoe | Wrong decision for me, I'm sure there may be more factors at play like policing the London games and Transport routes which may have made some games unviable but was looking forward to it and paying my respects. |  |
