Match Threads Man City Vs Spurs - match postponed

[Chirpystheman]

Apparently 2 rounds of fixtures to be postponed. Not sure how true that is. Nit sure how that would effect European games. Assume they will still go ahead. Which is a big plus for us. Almost means we won't play city until much later in the season which could be another plus. I'm sure we will hear more soon.

Can’t see anything other than the usual routine win for us against Man City ?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Rearranged to the penultimate game of the season for a title decider...

Nah, we'll be 4 points ahead - it'll be a dead rubber, when we parade the trophy around the stadium

If queen dies, no sporting events take place until after the funeral.
Not sure what would happen about the Cl game away in Portugal next week.

The schedule is already hectic due to the WC, i doubt they will want to add another 2 fixtures

I don't think they will have a choice.

I don't understand what's so wrong with just having a minute's silence and wearing black armbands.

We are supposed to be living in a free country where a huge proportion of the population does not care about the Monarchy... oh well

 

[PCozzie]

I don't understand

Yep

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Not that I think they should, but I’d be surprised if the games aren’t suspended this weekend

 

[SpursLegends90]

just have moment of silence before the games and play them jesus..

"After the death of George VI in 1952, rugby and hockey fixtures were called off, while football matches went ahead.
Fans sang Abide With Me and the national anthem before kick off."

'London Bridge is down': the secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death

The long read: She is venerated around the world. She has outlasted 12 US presidents. She stands for stability and order. But her kingdom is in turmoil, and her subjects are in denial that her reign will ever end. That’s why the palace has a plan.

I'm reading that Operation London Bridge has a 9 day mourning period during which all sport will be suspended . So no CL, and no games next weekend if that's right. Which would mean there's literally not enough weeks to play the CL games and we might be looking at a 4 game week at some point. If that's enforced of course. Very difficult decisions.

Bit weird if UEFA let us have this week off but wouldn’t when our building was a infectious hotbed.

reckon Prem gets cancelled though.

I have no idea how this works but do they have that power when the game is in Portugal?

 

[ShelfWatcher]

I hope the City game is postponed, but Lisbon game goes ahead

 

[Lumiere]

No of course not. It would be purely up to UEFA whether the game goes ahead.

Doesn't exactly seem fair on the Portuguese to have their football schedule screwed up because of the death of someone in another country.

 

[E17yid]

Surely the CL game won’t be postponed. That would be a piss take.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Honestly tho, when on earth would they get played if they are postponed. Don’t see how it happens this year.
