He has the right to have an opinion. You do this a lot remove posters from threads yet allow others who often start the abuse to carry on.
Football is the only sporting events called off this weekend again the FA and EFL totally tone deaf and out of touch with reality
Enforced? No one is forced to grieve in North Korea, but if you don't grieve hard at the death of the "exalted one," your relations will be grieving hard for you by dawn.
Even if you have not respect for Her Majesty the Queen and don't think a period of mourning is appropriate for our longest serving monarch then just be glad we have an extra 4 days before the next game. 4 days to get over injuries, 4 extra days training to gell the new players.

Given that 'politics' runs into just about every aspect of life then what counts and what doesn't appears to be very much a subjective decision. I can understand a 'no party politics' rule but just about everything posted barring the football scores can be deemed political at one level or another. Agree that some seem to be allowed to get away with anything on here and others not
