Silvio Dante Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just now, Bouncearoundtheground said: Will the game be cancelled Saturday? Depends. If she makes it through tomorrow then it won’t be called off even if she dies on Saturday am due to time to organise. If she’s gone by midday tomorrow though then I’d reckon it’s off. Either way, the palace don’t need to say things and don’t do typically. So for any kind of statement to come out indicates that this is hugely serious, and when you ally that with Charles and William travelling up, it doesn’t look good.

BUTOR Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 I automatically assumed so but having looked it up the answer is nobody actually knows what the plans have in store in that regard. Football went ahead after King George died in 1952, and although sporting fixtures were cancelled after Princess Dianna’s death measures were subsequently found to be far too extreme. The answer though is probably yes. I hope not. The show must go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I’m a little surprised that everyone is, apparently, hoping she’ll pull through. I would have hoped with a 96-year-old that most people would be hoping for a quick and painless death, if she is that poorly. No disrespect, but can we at least acknowledge that she is probably dying, rather than that awful euphemism ‘passing’. Death is an inevitability, and we shouldn’t be scared of acknowledging it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people just mean well don't they? It's a hard one to accept that sometimes death is better than prolonged illness. When my nan passed sadly it was a bit of a relief, she'd started to get confused and I didn't want her in a hospital indefinitely. As someone else said about passing with dignity and comfort. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) It's a very sad day and my thoughts are with the Royal Family. From a young age (I'm 54) I had this naive, romantic notion that the Queen would go on forever. Its tough growing up and seeing those you look up to - and love in the case of friends and family - pass away. Luckily forums like ours give us the opportunity to share great memories and show respect. I understand that a period of mourning may mean that sporting events are cancelled, although this would be based on the wishes of the relevant association, following advice from the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm sad that the Queen has died and there is no doubting her service and loyalty to the nation, she was an amazing women. I don't see however while all sport should stop, except perhaps Horse Racing, during the period of mourning and lying in state before her funeral. She wasn't averse to having a good time so why can't we celebrate her life by giving her a rousing send off instead. Let's keep sport going and throw a party or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
