I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I’m certainly not in mourning, I don’t think you can enforce an emotional state as profound as that onto people and stop them living their lives. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well seeing as it’s the World Cup in the winter and it being a tight schedule as it is, will they postpone?

Barrs Court Red Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Talk of postponing games needs to happen tonight, although I’m surprised there’s not already a protocol in place. Not really sure how I feel about games being off. I’m struggling to get motivated for the Bears game tomorrow off the back off this news, but less keen to see Saturdays game off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
