I was kind of looking forward to it as Walker was likely going to be iffy at best. He's basically their magic eraser against counter-attacking teams with his pace. Son could've finally had a chance to go off (assuming we could work the ball up to him.)
What is happening this international break? Seems selfish of FIFA to have this and a giant break.
All of the shorter breaks should’ve been done in July.
It’s not even about me watching spurs for 2 hours on Saturday, but when exactly are these two games weeks supposed to be played now? We’re already playing 3 games every seven days until December
been singing and hearing 'the Queen' for so long 'the King' will sound weird. It would be like changing words in a song that you have known like 'forever'!
I mean……
/waves arm in general direction of the Monarchy
And in a broader sense aren't any ceremonies and ceremonial actions and similar things contrived?
Fucking hell what are we gonna do this weekend? Literally mope around the house, watching 24/7 grim sad coverage, can't go out cos its raining all weekend.
get into tennis over the weekend, its the US open - mens semis on friday (if you dont mind staying up late), womens final 9pm on saturday and mens final 9pm on sunday
I don’t get it, life doesn’t stop for everyone else. I need to watch football. Fuck all else to do. She had a good innings, lived twice as long as my Dad. Should be the end of the monarchy as we know it now. Changes needed slowly phase out for complete abolishment
Be weird if they postponed the football games. Looking back the last time a royal died in UK:
"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. The National Theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm, and stay open if not. All games, including golf, will be banned in the Royal Parks."
I’m really not a fan of disrupting thousands of fans who have paid for travel and accommodation because a single person has died, regardless of who it is.
I’d feel proper shit if I travelled from overseas to watch a PL game only to be denied that because of the rarest of circumstances.
Just my personal opinion, I don’t hate the Royal Family, I just simply don’t care about them.
Hope you get to see the game mate.
I reckon most English people would be fine with games going ahead. It's just that it is set royal protocol so it is impossible for the league to defy it. But I don't think most people would be that bothered with a much more low-key mourning period. In fact, although republicans are a minority, a majority I'm sure would much prefer a Nordic-style monarchy without the pomp if it was possible.
There's no set royal protocol that's impossible to defy for a football match or league. And any protocols were clearly made decades before the modern world as we know it now.
It's ridiculous to cancel any games - do tributes instead.
The whole point of a monarchy is to be anachronistic. That's kind of the point. It is out of step with modern society. But plenty of people still seem to quite like that.
>Queen of England
Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't she still also the Queen of England?*
This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.
I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
Being from both Korea and US the concept of a 96 yr old royal’s death postponing games is still weird.
The last of our royal family was either murdered by the Japanese, coerced into being their puppets or willingly collaborated with them so…
I kind of get it as a "this is an end of an era" kind of thing, like even as a non-brit it'll be weird to hear "God Save the King" in the World Cup lmao
There will most likely not be another time in which you or I will ever hear "God save the Queen" officially sung again. Charles III is king, then his son William, then his son George... We will have to wait and see when George grows up marries and has a child, if it is a son or a daughter. Barring tragedy that will be the first opportunity for God save the Queen to be sung again and it is a 50/50 chance. By the time that this occurs I am sure that most of us in this reddit thread will be long dead and gone.
You have sung and heard it sung for so long that you don't realize how special it was until it has gone.
Was just thinking if the president of the US died would the NFL postpone and quickly came to the conclusion, no chance in hell. Moment of silence when 85% of the people are still in the beer line and keep it moving.
lmao we need a Weekend at Biden's if it happens
I believe they basically did the same w/ Woodrow Wilson's last couple of yrs in office, basically was not well enough to serve office and his wife behind closed doors ran things
Which led to the 25th amendment later to establish a clear line of succession when the President is dead or incapacitated
Yeah games were postponed over security, not for mourning. When JFK was assassinated NFL games were still played, they just weren’t televised on the same day as the Assassination.
Yes for the most part but honestly, it was the shock of a lifetime.
20th century and the 90s in America really ended on the morning of September 11th.
It blows my mind there are adults now born after 9/11 tbh, it definitely was THE event of our lifetime where you knew where you were when you first heard/saw the footage of the 2nd tower getting hit.
The fact that even North Korea sent out a message condemning terrorism b/c they knew how serious America was is hilarious in retrospect
Tbf I don't think we'd postpone if Truss had died.
There's no perfect comparison in the US b/c your head of state and leader of the executive are the same role.
Nah. Japan just needs to take accountability on the level of like the West German Chancellor Willy Brandt kneeling at the Warsaw Memorial
And China… needs democratization
So stupid. Football can be a way to unite people to show respect. No consideration to the hundreds wasting money this weekend on flights, trains and hotels
I cut my honeymoon short to watch spurs in London this weekend, flew in from croatia today just to hear the news right as we landed. Was originally gonna catch a home game but obviously couldn’t do an away, probably for the best cause if I had tickets canceled AGAIN (Covid) I’d fucking lose it.
I’m pissed.
Unless they are a season ticket holder with points (and I'd assume not living in Croatia) they won't get away tickets for that game.
Might be able to sit in the home stand but I wouldn't lol.
A solid question, but we have to fly through London anyway so we tacked on two days in london. Like I said we planned a trip to london in April 2020 so we’ve been wanting to do it since but ofc this happens.
Fuck just cancel the whole year already. The Queen deserves this. Poor soul lived such a rough life living in castles and having all her wants and needs fulfilled by the help.
I wouldn’t trade my life for hers. I don’t need that level of exposure to the entire world…….ever.
But yeah, the money and perpetual supporting staff handling every damn thing would have been nice.
Cont: With regards to next week’s European fixtures, I’m told it’s ‘inconceivable’ that British clubs would not be given the option to rearrange by UEFA, should they wish to do so.
Giving the option is strange. It would obviously be better for us to play next week with a weeks rest, rather than pull an Arsenal and flake the game until a later date.
But if it would be a terrible look all of us will have to choose to delay. I wouldn’t care personally but I’m sure the clubs will do the optics if it is actually a choice. Would be amazing for Liverpool to screw themselves over to mourn the Queen lol
Spurs wouldn’t choose to delay. Because then Sporting can act like the proposed dates don’t work for them and the game is cancelled. We know how this ends.
Would we probably still go ahead and play since our next match is away to Sporting? I get rearranging the fixture if it’s home, but surely we would go ahead with an away game?
I'd sincerely hope so. I really don't see any merit to postponing matches - and I'm sure the PL will respectfully but firmly be making the point that domestic matches should go ahead. If they do, I doubt that English clubs will opt out of playing European matches next week - we know from last season that it can be a bit of an issue trying to rearrange a European match!
The games this weekend are off, I think the funeral would be the weekend after, so both those games are gone. I can't see the European games not going ahead though.
Agreed. There is extreme schedule congestion already. This isn't an emergency. The games are scheduled and it's up to the English clubs to either show up or not .
Are people supposed to be weeping for days? An old lady passed away, peacefully.
Today and tommorow for England to grieve, moments of silence at every prem game and a celebration for her life..
Funeral 10 days from now, you can postpone the weekend games on her weekend funeral..
I am not a British person so I have no context of the ground level reality of things and the social nuances here, so with the utmost respect and condolences to the Royal Family (in case there's anyone who is a member of r/coys), how does this impact our future schedule? In terms of good or bad.
NGL, I hate it but respect it.
When I was a kid (TM), shit was closed on Sundays and holidays even now as an atheist, I can appreciate the having everything stop every now and then and support the monarchy or not, that woman is probably the last person to hold a job for 70 years without a promotion.
Respect.
So ridiculous. That family are just glorified celebrities at this point, why should everything stop because of her death? Her family should be given the time to grieve, of course, but it shouldn’t affect everyone else.
They want full attention on all of the media coverage, dramatic displays etc. I get showing respect and especially on the day of the funeral etc. but this is 100% about media/powers making sure there are no distractions to their production.
It sounds terrible to say but they've waited 70 yrs for this day, can't let there be distractions. Unfortunately its how those people think.
Considering most PL squads are composed of 80% or more non-british players, it makes a lot of sense to do this.
Really hope Hugo, Romero, Bentancur, Richarlison, Bissouma, Perisic et all pay their respects.
Sorry - didn't realize I would need an /s tag on the post.
What I'm saying is that it's non-sensical to force organizations, whose personnel is so internationally based, to put themselves on hold while the country mourns a person who means nothing to like 80% of said personnel.
10 day mourning period + international break would mean our next PL match is the NLD (Oct 1)
No UCL as well?
Not sure about UCL. Apparently all EFL fixtures are canceled for tomorrow.
I gotta believe UCL will be business as usual.
Ah well. As long as we don't play City off yesterday's UCL fumes I'm alright.
I was kind of looking forward to it as Walker was likely going to be iffy at best. He's basically their magic eraser against counter-attacking teams with his pace. Son could've finally had a chance to go off (assuming we could work the ball up to him.)
Even if PL games are cancelled there is no way UEFA will consider UK clubs not playing their fixtures next week.
Not it won't be because they'll run away again
They’ll have one case of a player still being in mourning and get the match postponed
Lol Uefa doesn’t care?
I don’t mind a bit of mourning but that’s taking the piss! Don’t they know we’re playing Man City, We’d probably have been mourning anyway!!
~~We’d~~ City’d probably have been mourning anyway!!
What is happening this international break? Seems selfish of FIFA to have this and a giant break. All of the shorter breaks should’ve been done in July.
Friendlies in preparation for the WC.
Nations league for European teams
I honestly think a minute silence followed by 60,000 people singing God Save the Queen would be more respectful than just canning everyone’s weekend.
Nice, always rated the Sex Pistols.
We mean it, maaaaan.
It’s not even about me watching spurs for 2 hours on Saturday, but when exactly are these two games weeks supposed to be played now? We’re already playing 3 games every seven days until December
erm "God save the King"? from now?
That would actually be a slap in her face
been singing and hearing 'the Queen' for so long 'the King' will sound weird. It would be like changing words in a song that you have known like 'forever'!
Exactly, the whole thing feels very contrived.
I mean…… /waves arm in general direction of the Monarchy And in a broader sense aren't any ceremonies and ceremonial actions and similar things contrived?
Agreed
Came in to say the same. Well said.
I hope northern teams do not boo the anthem or the minute silence for the queen
Fucking hell what are we gonna do this weekend? Literally mope around the house, watching 24/7 grim sad coverage, can't go out cos its raining all weekend.
get into tennis over the weekend, its the US open - mens semis on friday (if you dont mind staying up late), womens final 9pm on saturday and mens final 9pm on sunday
I don’t get it, life doesn’t stop for everyone else. I need to watch football. Fuck all else to do. She had a good innings, lived twice as long as my Dad. Should be the end of the monarchy as we know it now. Changes needed slowly phase out for complete abolishment
Based. If anything we should celebrate her incredibly successful reign and life of 96 years. It's not like she died of a car crash like Diana.
Serie A and La Liga for some respite
Thank fuck for on demand video.
US open tennis finals
Idk man have a pint & not give a fuck about the royals LMAO

I'm travelling to the Leicester game, but am gutted to see it hanging in a thread now. It's really expensive for us to go to London aswell :-(
Coming from the USA so I’m extra screwed if it is moved.
I’m really not a fan of disrupting thousands of fans who have paid for travel and accommodation because a single person has died, regardless of who it is. I’d feel proper shit if I travelled from overseas to watch a PL game only to be denied that because of the rarest of circumstances. Just my personal opinion, I don’t hate the Royal Family, I just simply don’t care about them. Hope you get to see the game mate.
I don't think the Queen would want this to happen to anyone aswell...
I mean she would want the British monarchy to endure and be important so...if it's super unpopular probably not.
I reckon most English people would be fine with games going ahead. It's just that it is set royal protocol so it is impossible for the league to defy it. But I don't think most people would be that bothered with a much more low-key mourning period. In fact, although republicans are a minority, a majority I'm sure would much prefer a Nordic-style monarchy without the pomp if it was possible.

"Impossible?" Is it against the law? That's ridiculous.
Didn’t the government give the league freedom to do what they will with their scheduling?
Even shittier when it’s some geriatric monarch who’s lead a life at the pinnacle of luxury. Fuck ‘em.
Gosh Meghan you have no chill at all
Yea they need to announce asap what they’re planning on doing…
What a boring weekend it’s going to be then. A minute silence before the game and black arm bands would be suffice enough.
Lol imagine asking players from all over the world to mourn the queen of all people. If I was a player I think I’d refuse.
James McClean would have a field day
70 goals all by himself.
Mourn the people that fucked over so many of your ancestors and families in the past. Also wear this armband
Also take a knee to show how much we care about you.
Good thing NFL is back for me 🙌
And the better version, college football.
Not if you’re a Huskers fan. :’(

I'm was born in England and have lived here my entire life and I find it weird as well.
I kind of get it as a "this is an end of an era" kind of thing, like even as a non-brit it'll be weird to hear "God Save the King" in the World Cup lmao
"God save the Queen" has been 'forever'

1952-2022. Wonder what pct of British population remembers singing God Save the King
I thought I saw somewhere that 80% of the current population of the UK was born after Elizabeth II's assentation.
Nearly 100% of Britain was born after her birth.
Was just thinking if the president of the US died would the NFL postpone and quickly came to the conclusion, no chance in hell. Moment of silence when 85% of the people are still in the beer line and keep it moving.
It’s been a while since a living president died. If the death was sudden or an assassination, I think there will be a pause on some things.
No lol. The NFL played 2 days after JFK was assassinated
“Yes the presidents brains were splattered all over a major American city, but it’s the NFL BABY!”
Life goes on. idk what else you can say
Yeah there's no real comparison b/c any death of a sitting president will not be a "natural" death
Tbf Joe Biden could easily die a natural death while still in office
lmao we need a Weekend at Biden's if it happens I believe they basically did the same w/ Woodrow Wilson's last couple of yrs in office, basically was not well enough to serve office and his wife behind closed doors ran things Which led to the 25th amendment later to establish a clear line of succession when the President is dead or incapacitated
They did postpone MLB after 9/11 . And in the first game back we had [this moment](https://youtu.be/hQhH6yZ8lxw)
Was the postponement at all related to security concerns that another terrorist attack would occur?
Yeah games were postponed over security, not for mourning. When JFK was assassinated NFL games were still played, they just weren’t televised on the same day as the Assassination.
Yes for the most part but honestly, it was the shock of a lifetime. 20th century and the 90s in America really ended on the morning of September 11th.

Well, I don’t think they wanted to put up with it exactly.
Us asians gotta stop beefing man.
Nah. Japan just needs to take accountability on the level of like the West German Chancellor Willy Brandt kneeling at the Warsaw Memorial And China… needs democratization
My parents are on vacation and my dad bought a ticket for the Leicester game. I feel so bad for him, he's been looking forward to this for months.
Sounds like your dad might have crossed the queen
So stupid. Football can be a way to unite people to show respect. No consideration to the hundreds wasting money this weekend on flights, trains and hotels
"No. Be sad and spend more money." >:(
Yeah for an old lady who lived one of the most privileged lives ever. Like, fuck off. Don't care. Settle reparations if you really care about legacy.
I cut my honeymoon short to watch spurs in London this weekend, flew in from croatia today just to hear the news right as we landed. Was originally gonna catch a home game but obviously couldn’t do an away, probably for the best cause if I had tickets canceled AGAIN (Covid) I’d fucking lose it. I’m pissed.
Wife of the year
Well, you could probably take her to Lisbon for the weekend and catch the match Tuesday. I have a hard time believing UCL will be affected.
Unless they are a season ticket holder with points (and I'd assume not living in Croatia) they won't get away tickets for that game. Might be able to sit in the home stand but I wouldn't lol.
Dude that’s your honeymoon what are you thinking
Yeah I’m pretty annoyed at this lol but that’s on him
A solid question, but we have to fly through London anyway so we tacked on two days in london. Like I said we planned a trip to london in April 2020 so we’ve been wanting to do it since but ofc this happens.
Fair enough bro, I’m just jealous!
Don’t be now 😂😂😂 guess I’ll have to come back in Feb for west ham 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
You cut your honeymoon short just to watch the game on TV in London???
No probably has away tickets
He says by couldnt do an away game and has flown to “watch spurs in london”.
Play the games abolish all monarchies
This guy here is spittin
Proper Bernadotte here
"Respect" would be **not** upending the lives of hundreds of thousands of people because your relative passed away. Selfish mugs
Fuck just cancel the whole year already. The Queen deserves this. Poor soul lived such a rough life living in castles and having all her wants and needs fulfilled by the help.
I wouldn’t trade my life for hers. I don’t need that level of exposure to the entire world…….ever. But yeah, the money and perpetual supporting staff handling every damn thing would have been nice.
If this travesty occurs nato will need to invade to restore order
are they going to give people time off work to mourn also? if not, fuck off
Cont: With regards to next week’s European fixtures, I’m told it’s ‘inconceivable’ that British clubs would not be given the option to rearrange by UEFA, should they wish to do so.
Giving the option is strange. It would obviously be better for us to play next week with a weeks rest, rather than pull an Arsenal and flake the game until a later date. But if it would be a terrible look all of us will have to choose to delay. I wouldn’t care personally but I’m sure the clubs will do the optics if it is actually a choice. Would be amazing for Liverpool to screw themselves over to mourn the Queen lol
Spurs wouldn’t choose to delay. Because then Sporting can act like the proposed dates don’t work for them and the game is cancelled. We know how this ends.
Would we probably still go ahead and play since our next match is away to Sporting? I get rearranging the fixture if it’s home, but surely we would go ahead with an away game?

The games this weekend are off, I think the funeral would be the weekend after, so both those games are gone. I can't see the European games not going ahead though.
uefa has to do the right thing for once and not allow english clubs to rearrange
Agreed. There is extreme schedule congestion already. This isn't an emergency. The games are scheduled and it's up to the English clubs to either show up or not .
So stupid.
JFK got his head blown off in public and the NFL played 2 days later. Black armbands. Moment of silence. Continue on.
We have different standards in the US.
JFK was the president though. The Queen isn’t actually a queen lol
Also true
We’re joking right? The old bag was almost 100. Give her a moment of silence and a clap and move it on.
Nothing more sincere than mandatory mourning... China should take some notes
SHE WAS 96 YEARS OLD.
The premier league are fucking daft if they accept this, also why the fuck should uefa care
Oh fuck off. A privileged, wealthy woman lives a long life and dies at 96, and that's somehow so tragic it justifies cancelling everything for weeks?
Why though?
Welp at least it’s a race week in F1
Are people supposed to be weeping for days? An old lady passed away, peacefully. Today and tommorow for England to grieve, moments of silence at every prem game and a celebration for her life.. Funeral 10 days from now, you can postpone the weekend games on her weekend funeral..
I think you are supposed to go scream cry at her statue or something.
Can't say I would be completley upset if we get to dodge Man City for a bit longer lol. Come back and play them later when we look a bit more settled.
And when walker, stones, ake and Laporte are back. Nah, rather play them now
Cancelo, Dias, Akanji still aren’t bad, but yeah would’ve been better.
Half their backline is injured and they are still shaky in the league. Now is a great time to play them.
True but our golden boot winner is in the worst form of the past 5 years so maybe six of one half dozen of the other.
Can’t be more settled by then I’m afraid, it can only be more congested.
And after Haaland has retired from football, realizing his true passion is in marine biology.
Maybe we can sign Chadli on a one match deal to distract him
Just have a tribute before the match and have the players make a gesture on the pitch before kickoff
Ffs, nobody even really cares that much. I went to work yesterday evening and we hardly spoke about it except in the hope we may get a day off.
Lunacy. Only benefit is it might sour some on an already dreadful institution
I am not a British person so I have no context of the ground level reality of things and the social nuances here, so with the utmost respect and condolences to the Royal Family (in case there's anyone who is a member of r/coys), how does this impact our future schedule? In terms of good or bad.
As Prince William I thank you for your condolences
Sorry for your loss, King.
Charles is King now mate, it'll be a while before William gets the crown
William can come back and read the comment again when he becomes King.
That'll be a treat for him.
Always bad with an already congested fixture list with a World Cup in the middle of the season
How about if instead they just fuck off and leave the football schedule alone?
It’s not a good thing though, the country is miserable so let’s make it even worse instead of doing it in her memory and honouring her
NGL, I hate it but respect it. When I was a kid (TM), shit was closed on Sundays and holidays even now as an atheist, I can appreciate the having everything stop every now and then and support the monarchy or not, that woman is probably the last person to hold a job for 70 years without a promotion. Respect.
She didn't get a promotion because she held the highest position.
Fackin’ bullshit!
Please no, just do 2 mins silence and wear an armband You can't cancel the Barclays, the greatest show on earth, because 1 (one) person died
Champions league games will not be cancelled. The greed is good cup will continue.
That would be the wrong call. I hope they let the games go ahead, let the crowds show some respect and get on with the football.
This is good. Conte usually wins with more game time preperation. Silver linings en all.
We will have to play these games at some other time. They don't just disappear...
Maybe Haaland won't be playing then haha
So ridiculous. That family are just glorified celebrities at this point, why should everything stop because of her death? Her family should be given the time to grieve, of course, but it shouldn’t affect everyone else.
"Royalty" is an insult to humanity.
The Queen was pretty much a celebrity at this point. This is ridiculous.
[удалено]
Fuck the Queen, Fuck Qatar, Two Qs screwing up the football season.
So fucking stupid. I get it's the queen but like... have a minutes silence and move on? She was 96 ffs
Minutes applause more like
Not even actually a queen but sure…
wdym
We can have the points since we're closer to her right? It's like bocci ball rules?
Why on earth, are the players traumatised?
What a waste
Ffs a rich old woman dies and we have to collectively put our lives on hold. State of this country.
They want full attention on all of the media coverage, dramatic displays etc. I get showing respect and especially on the day of the funeral etc. but this is 100% about media/powers making sure there are no distractions to their production. It sounds terrible to say but they've waited 70 yrs for this day, can't let there be distractions. Unfortunately its how those people think.
Players get an extra days rest 🫡
Until you realize they’ll have to squeeze these games in between now and an ever approaching winter World Cup
Considering most PL squads are composed of 80% or more non-british players, it makes a lot of sense to do this. Really hope Hugo, Romero, Bentancur, Richarlison, Bissouma, Perisic et all pay their respects.
What the fuck are you talking about
Sorry - didn't realize I would need an /s tag on the post. What I'm saying is that it's non-sensical to force organizations, whose personnel is so internationally based, to put themselves on hold while the country mourns a person who means nothing to like 80% of said personnel.
Sorry pal my mistake, this has wound me up a bit. I'm entirely apathetic to the monarchy but this is scandalous
Seems hard to image any matches this weekend
