I'm not so sure, but even if it was booed is that really a reason to cancel all football even down to under-6 level?Quote:

If we postpone games on what might happen, we won't see the season out.
I'd guess they couldn't be selective about it. Either they cancel some football matches and be accused of being inconsistent, or cover their tracks and cancel the whole lot.Quote:

I have to say I would have thought all sport would have been cancelled this weekend so very surprised it wasn’t, I’ll buck the trend and say well done the Football authorities for cancelling the football, (but I agree local / kids shouldn’t have been). What this Thread has highlighted is how dependent some are on 90 minutes of pleasure/ torture on a Saturday afternoon regardless of what happens in life.
Complete and utter bollox. What this thread has highlighted is that some don't like being told by the authorities how they should grieve, when they should grieve, and how long they should grieve for.Quote:

Yes they are.Quote:

If people don't like you as a club (see Millwall) then it's perfectly natural that your reputation for being undignified/yobbish etc. is going to be one step ahead of the truth.
Ideally, we wouldn't have a minute's silence at all and get on with the game, then there's no risk of upsetting anyone, pro or anti- monarch.
It’s an opinion that’s all, my opinion, we are all entitled to them just like yours they are all valid.Quote:

Probably not on point one. People will make their own minds up as they see fit.Quote:
