My sarcasm doesn't come across well. It's sad that a monarch who has reigned for 71 years has passed away, and I'm sure she has done a lot of good in her life. But I'm not sure my life has been any the better or worse for her being spoon fed every day. To me I think this is the beginning of the end for the royal family, she has held a disfunctional family together for many years hopefully justice will prevail.

To me I think this is the beginning of the end for the royal family, she has held a disfunctional family together for many years hopefully justice will prevail. The Queen was a constant in my life, although like you, she had no direct bearing on my daily activities - but she has always been there, just like my own mother who is even older than the Queen was. To pay respect to such an important figure in British history is a given, in my opinion, and a break in the events calendar is probably the only way the sporting community can pay its respects. It doesn't matter what we think, she was a historically important person and whatever opinion individuals may rightly have, our world is going to stop turning for a brief moment in time while this event is processed in the tradition of our nation. I think you are way wide of the mark with your comment regarding the Royal family. Her successor, who is perhaps an intermediary monarch until the younger royals take centre stage, will step up to the plate. On a footballing note, I feel [hope] this little mini-break will be beneficial to our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Absolutely wrong decision imho, the RFU statement is spot on…sport is about community and sticking together through good times and bad…we should have gone ahead and paid our respects before ko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Utter nonsense / tone deaf decision. Radio was intollerable today, TV is taken over, advertising billboards were supplanted with pics of the Queen. and now sports have been cancelled or postponed. It's like living in a mad house. On top of that, we're getting the freak show/ extra pomp and expense of a state funeral, a coronation and maybe a bank holiday, all at a time when the nation is struggling financially. I held no ill will towards Queen Lizzy personally, but I didn't care about her either. I can think of hundreds of celebrities whose deaths made me sadder. She was a 96-Year-Old, very wealthy figurehead. Nothing more than a handwaving/handshaking statue to be inexplicably admired by the common folk . A symbol to appease the symbol minded. This whole circus (much like with Prince Phillip and Princess Di) just feels like most of the UK population is being gaslit by the media, the politicians and other influencers. I'll be glad when it's all over, and the media can then settle themselves back down to merely being pathologically obsessed with the Royal Family.

Monty Burns Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 for some reason l can not edit that overly agressive post above. apologies for that, it was insensitive and wrong. what l meant to say is 'l dont believe you are 'greiving' youre just doing what your tv is telling you to do.' l'll be upset when David 'Bumble' Lloyd, Mick Jagger or Bob Dylan dies, but l won't be claiming that l'm greiving. l could be wrong of course, l won't rule that out. but l can not see how anybody can be 'greiving' a rich old racist oppressor who lived a rich, full life that we paid for.
