RubyTuesday Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's one weekend with no football. Everyone take a breath. Go for a walk. Bake some bread. Watch a film. Speak to your family. In the grand scheme of things, this really doesn't matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure majority of players would have been fine to play and supporters would still turn up. Cricket still on, Rugby on tonight and over the weekend and golf tomorrow and sunday, horse racing on the Sunday Cricket and Rugby, different class of people who because of their station in life have choices. The lumpen proletariat on the other hand need kept in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossilYM Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Tbf it's probably the last time this will happen in most of our lifetimes. King Charles doesn't have the same amount of followers out there even among royalists. Who knows, next time we might even be living in a separate country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly more than happy to let the cap doffers get on with their weirdo pageantry, and get on with my own life, but why force others to mourn? It's not so much that a match here and there is being postponed that's pissing people off, it's the notion that we should be gnashing our teeth, wailing and sitting in the tomb with pharaoh for ten days. Would not happen in a normal country. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fuss will have died down then the games will get cancelled again for the Coronation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not happen in a normal country. That's it exactly - it's the lack of autonomy and agency we're being afforded in how we choose to mark the event. Or indeed not to - I get the feeling the powers that be are slightly twitchy that the amount of people who left to their own devices would just shrug their shoulders, ignore the whole thing and get on with their lives would be more than they bargained for....#abolishthemonarchy isn't currently trending on Twitter for no reason.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurlie1981 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Last I heard the SYFA games were going ahead tomorrow including the Scottish Cup so if you are looking for football that might be an option. I can't understand why clubs were not given the option to choose to play or not. My workplace didn't shut today (although for political reasons some things were scaled back) so why is football shutting tomorrow? Seems that the Scottish FA didn't want to take any flack from certain sections as the English games were all called off. I am not a royalist but I admired the Queen's public service but you should be able to go about your business however you choose how or if you want to show respect for the passing of someone, be it a family member, friend or public figure you can choose that too. Poor decision by the authorities including the West of Scotland League who should be asked why they came to this decision by the clubs. PS not all football was cancelled when King George V passed away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The WoSFL only cancelled 4 scheduled league matches this weekend, two in the Second Division and two in the Third Division.

Genuine lolz at that one. 1 hour ago, Lurcer said: Some guy this week said his football was his religion. I think it’s more important than that. I mean for some people its their only social outing for the week/fortnight. If some people choose to miss the game to go lay flowers down somewhere then batter in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to cancel the four league games was taken after the South Region Challenge Cup Secretary had informed all the competing clubs that the cup ties were all postponed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
