The same folks that would scream at the rain if the pitch was waterlogged and the game got called off. Well obviously not, because one's a conscious decision and the other is weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is no conscious or subjective decision making process involved in postponing a game for weather related issues? The weather just decides? I'm obviously being facetious but you get my point. Bunch of grown adults wetting their pants beacuse a game of football is postponed... What a time to be alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a reflection of the move to a reactive society, exemplified by Twitter, Instagram, FaceTwat, etc… There would have been nothing wrong with playing the games (in my opinion), especially if a nice nod like a moment of silence and /or armband was used, however the disruptions that would have occurred from those opposed to that common courtesy would have been pretty prevalent. In the long term, the dictatorial nature of this result will backfire on those trying to enforce a show of reverence for the monarchy, and actually helps the opponents who would have been (rightfully, again, in my opinion) pilloried for their outbursts. I suspect the higgly-piggly nature of the cancellations and continuations will he highlighted over the next bit and will result in evolution of future plans, and might finally provoke a deeper discussion on the monarchy going forward. If you’d like, you could take Trump, and we’ll take Chuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly considered points about why the decision is a lot of shite. Looks like the decision was on the SPFL. From GOV.UK: “Major events, entertainment and sports There is no obligation to cancel or postpone events and sporting fixtures, or close entertainment venues during the National Mourning period. This is at the discretion of individual organisations. As a mark of respect, organisations might wish to consider cancelling or postponing events or closing venues on the day of the State Funeral. They are under no obligation to do so and this is entirely at the discretion of individual organisations. If sporting fixtures or events are planned for the day of the State Funeral, organisations may want to adjust the event timings so they do not clash with the timings of the funeral service and associated processions. As a mark of respect, and in keeping with the tone of National Mourning, organisers may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem at the start of events or sporting fixtures, and players may wish to wear black armbands.” I’ll rescind my prior suggestion that this was a failure to update to match the times and move to blaming the SPFL to being led by a load of useless c**ts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The spfl should have let the clubs vote on it, the majority would have likely said yes and on we go. What's going to happen next week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a blessing in disguise I think politics is a crock of shit. I think it’s basic common sense that this is something that is not required. Are people who will frequent pubs, clubs, shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, the rugby and cricket tomorrow disrespectful or lacking humility?

The comment, BTW, was how the plans were never evolved because of fearful people rather than backwardness. That is the general result in many a government venture, worldwide.

It was, but the polarization is everywhere, and intolerance is growing. Honestly, California is in similar straits, while New York (State) is a little better off. Florida is sort of like an asylum being run by the craziest inmates, who believe everyone must follow their dictates and pay for them…the end is likely to be sudden and sticky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I note that the bit about the postponement on our website also says that the rearranged date of this match "and any others affected" will be announced in due course. I'm betting next weekend is a write off also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
