Let's just postpone a whole weekend off football games at every level on the off chance that some Liverpool fans might cause some disruption only to delay the reason until next weekend or the weekend after... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those lower league clubs now have to face loss of cash flow, a midweek game in winter most likely where they need to power the flood lights (and likely smaller crowd). Clubs like ourselves who still had to pay for the venue because we had it booked. I still think they got this all wrong, even accepting those 2 above reasons for calling for the professional game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would have happened at the games, those people are all mouthy keyboard warriors who probably don't attend matches. I wouldn't waste my time with trawling that cesspit any more than I would read the Bristol City fans Facebook group. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Twitter, you will always get people being edgy to provoke a reaction. In the real world, across the 46 games in the PL & EFL this weekend, the only place where there would be any chance of disturbances would have been Liverpool. That wouldn’t have made football look bad, that would look bad on Liverpool fans and Liverpool fans alone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 If we’re waiting for people on the internet to stop saying offensive things we better not play any games of football ever again. A truly absurd argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know anything about me or about my understanding of how Government works in practice (clue - I don't work in the private sector). This is a forum (the clue is in the name) but if this is how you respond to opposing views (and if you really believe what you've written then good luck to you) then I'm really not sure it's worth continuing. Your statement that "one doesn't vote for a party" is perhaps correct on a very, very pedantic level, but in reality it's so far from how politics works that I really haven't a flipping clue what planet you're on. Over and out. Don't lose any sleep over it, I criticised somebody on here yesterday for what they thought was humour "is the queens funeral on the red button" and wished I hadn't as I was called humourless and received a hell of a lot of flak, I'm afraid from behind keyboards many on here say things they would never dare say if the person was right in front of them.

The football authorities have realised that whilst they thought they were doing something that made them look good, it has in fact made them look so far out of touch. Fear of fans booing a minute silence is just a terrible excuse to cover their asses for calling all football off from elite level down to under 7’s. There should be 1000’s of kids out there playing football right now if it wasn’t for the ridiculous decision to call off this weekends games. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Liverpool e.g. that would put them in a tight spot in that group, their away games aren't exactly easy. Chelsea too in theory if it came to that. Doubt Salzburg at home poses a great risk however. Tottenham are away so they wouldn't be affected, Man City would win enough games in any event even if they did.
