AUcal Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 They'll definitely cancel the games, they can't be seen to not do it after hearing English games are off. Don't get it at all. If folk are upset by it and want to stay at home mourning then they can, nothing stopping them and that's their decision. Gonnae have to avoid tv and socials for few a few weeks. Pathetic groveling and fawning over royals. Fucking 2022. I really hope they don't postpone games,was really looking forward to the next couple, but they will get some amount of criticism from sycophants if they don't. It's pish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazbart Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Our match away to Raith was postponed when Princess Di was murdered so this one has no chance of being on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Not a chance the games on Saturday will be on. Staggeringly this will likely be the case for next week as well. The SPFL would be (justifiably in my opinion) terrified of torrent of abuse and hysterical guff from the media, staunch types etc. Not to mention the Sevco fans who'd probably brick a few windows if they let the matches go ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I dislike the competitive mourning were about to get probably about as much as I hate the people desperate to show how much they don't care , but fucking hell, imposing a period of mourning for the vast majority, let's face it, who won't have any further thought than "oh that's a shame" is mental. It's like they've taken the worst parts of the poppy appeal and turned it up to 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 There won’t be league games until 1st October if this weekend’s games are postponed. Scunnered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Postponing matches is just nonsense, black armbands and a minutes silence should really suffice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baba douche Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 She'll be lying in a Scottish cathedral for public viewing and mourning before going to England, probably on Saturday specifically. Not a chance they'll have football on up here whilst that's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty incongruous that games on the day of her death went ahead, but games for days after are cancelled. Is it out of respect or practicality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they've taken the worst parts of the poppy appeal and turned it up to 11. The majority, as you say, really don't have any serious thoughts on the matter as they've never met her nor did she have any direct impact on their life or the life's of their friends and family. It should be enough for people to have a "choice" in how they pay their respects but having this forced mourning is utterly pathetic and just shows the contempt in which the little people are held by those in authority. The irony being that if a club official / former player / club volunteer passed away, the clubs would STILL be expected to take to the pitch for their next match with maybe a minutes silence and a black armband sufficing, however the people involved would actually personally KNOW these people but that wouldn't matter. As such, the whole thing must be seen for the virtue signalling farce that it is....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monarchy has likely. never been less popular, and if they decide to force an entire nation - regardless of their feelings - to undertake some mawkish mourning period, that's only going to get worse. I really doubt old Queenie was sitting in the past few weeks dictating all the things that couldn't happen when she was gone, it's all a group of people imagining up ways people should pay respect, because of their own beliefs. I don't doubt there's going to be plenty of people out there devastated by this. If you are, that's fine, and you can mourn in your own way, absolutely welcome in that. Forcing it on everyone else? f**k off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utdtillidie2 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 A period of mourning to last until 10 days AFTER her funeral according the Buck Palace. The royalists will be raging if there’s any sport in that time I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
