I said I don't care about her that doesn't mean I don't care to comment on a subject that's got you looking like a man chopping onions.

Its football Forum and the football is off so I'm commenting on the reason why .

I've made myself clear throughout.

And the personal comments, really?

And promote the country which she did so well. And to dedicate her life upto 96 years of age to serve this country.

She was a one off special woman the like of which we won’t see again. People may not like the Royals generally but you would have to blind not to see what she has done for this country.

She may have been and done all that, but for some of us Africans, we will remember her sense of humanity. She may not have done that with fanfare but her silent contribution to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa will not be forgotten. You taxpayers certainly paid for her trips, but would you say those trips had no returns to your country? Kindly give credit where due.

We get ****ed in this country, Roly's quite right, between paying for royals to have holidays and then get this........ £3 a month is enough to pay for water for an entire village in Africa, yet my water bill for me, my mrs and the bairn could pay to water 15 entire African villages and to make matters worse it pisses down here all year round.

Whether the decision to cancel games was the right decision or wrong decision, I believe it was made for the right reasons. Football is the national game and The Queen was a Patron of the Football Association. They were also in the unenviable position of not being able to see what other sports chose to do, as many other sporting events were waiting to see what football did and how the public responded to it.

At the end of the day we live in a constitutional monarchy. The world has changed so much in the last 70 years and nobody has had the chance to test the nations response to previously accepted protocols when a monarch dies during that time. The death of The Queen is an extremely significant event for the country, regardless of individual beliefs about the rights or wrongs of a monarchy. She was highly respected even amongst many who would not describe themselves as royalist. The FA have erred on the side of caution. With football fans' history of not always showing themselves in the best light that may not be a bad decision, however frustrating it is for the respectful majority.

They didn't cancel the football when Henry V died. And if it was a case of worrying about the fans response they could have just cancelled the Liverpool and Chelsea games.
 
These ceremonies going on at the moment to proclaim the new king are really interesting. Gives a real insight into how the current monarchy came about after the Civil War, and also the Union of Scotland and England.
 
We seem to be wasting a lot of time and money on new seals for Scotland if they are just going to vote for independence again.
 
Apparently the funeral day will be a bank holiday so everyone will get the Monday off.

I wonder if everyone who hates the monarchy will refuse that day off and instead work?

also.. what about the poor scousers (who are scouse NOT English)? Will they take that extra day off work or not?….. oh wait.
