Do you think that King Charles III has been on the phone to the Match Secretary of Tayside Juniors? Do you really believe that 'the monarchy' is just a handful of Windsors?

Pathetic Amusingly this actually applies to the folk going mental and wanting games called off along with loads of other silly things, all in a forced spirit of 'mourning'.

Swello Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I would have thought that if they really wanted some proper performative mourning, letting the games go ahead across the UK and having lengthy montages of silent football grounds, players heads bowed, tasteful pictures of the Queen on the big scoreboards, etc for the 10 o'clock news would fit the bill quite nicely. Otherwise everyone will just be in the (open) shops, (open) pubs, (open) cinemas or every other open business - or sitting in their pants in front of the TV listening to Nick Witchell's quavery wee voice.. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The whole "the whole country mourns" thing is so out of touch its embarrassing. Next couple of weeks will be hell. It’s clearly a big fat lie/exaggeration being pushed by the media. They know a massive proportion of the population feel totally indifferent to this news but they’ll push the whole “a nation mourns” thing because it they want to ram Britishness and unity down our throats as much as possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You intimated in your original post that it was "the monarchy" who are behind everything being postponed, so as the Tayside Juniors were among the first to cancel their fixtures you must think that they were told to do that.

It was the Company that died today, the club goes on, even after the sun has enveloped the Earth. Which is the real problem. The French and the Russians had the right idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief. You're being serious. Well obviously they did. As soon as Liz was confirmed dead they all went into the dining hall with a load of gin, tea and sandwiches, sat round the table to check what was happening tonight then started ringing round everyone to get them to cancel it. I know this for a fact as Edward told my aunt's bridge league to forget about it for tonight. Of course there is an alternative, and this may seem a bit far fetched, but there could have been plans and procedures in place for decades to cover such circumstances. If in doubt, check Operation London Bridge, Vol 4327, Scottish Junior Football, subsection 183.iii, Tayside Juniors (1969-2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) If Scottish football didnt shut down out of respect for Walter Smith, Tommy Burns or any of the other greats of our game when they passed away, it sure as shit shouldnt shut down when some 96 year old from England does Edited September 8, 2022 by Jacky1990 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you'll get too many folk on here disagreeing with you, although the Rangers posters seem to have disappeared. Not many, if any, want the games to be postponed, we just know they will be.
