    I think this weekend's fixtures might be apt, but not sure why there would need to be more than that

    Let's be humane, let's have some dignity.
    Football can wait.

    Will everything stop when you leave the mortal realm? Maybe there'd be more respect if it wasn't the working man whose shafted most by it.

    I wouldn't expect a match until she's laid to rest. Cambridge might be our next game possibly.

    The top flight will get a backlog before the World Cup break.

    You're right. Nobody should work either. No watching TV, no computers, no phones. We all must sit in silence for the next 12 days and mourn the passing of an old woman that most have never met. no fun allowed.

    I hope you're wrong. I get the enormity of this for a lot of people, but not sure how stopping everything for 10 days helps matters in 2022. in many ways it would hit a lot of people. and as is often the case, the ones already struggling would be hit the hardest.

    Football can continue AND we can show respect. I don’t think they are mutually exclusive.

    Can't think of any logical reason for them to cancel the weekend games as a result of her death. Baffling.

    Surely the world has moved on from then, there will be sincere respect paid to Queen from the majority of people, but the state of the world at the moment businesses and people need to carry on.

    2 minutes silence before kickoff on saturday would be appropriate, nothing more required.

    Cancelling stuff seems properly OTT

    Black armbands and 2 minutes silence would suffice..

    Watching Room 101 on Dave and there are no adverts.....

    Edit; Break is taking forever, just showing the UKTV logo. Room 101 just resumed.
