villa4europe Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I know they'll wheel out "out of respect" as the reason but why has the football been cancelled? Seems bullshit to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems bullshit to me Yep, confirmed the games are off. I guess it’s seen as disrespectful to carry on as normal. I disagree but suspect that is the reason.

UpTheVilla26 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I get The Queen dying is a massive thing but some of the reaction I'm hearing is hilarious. Apparently Theo Walcott was singing the national anthem in his kitchen after the announcement, I'm literally lolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brumerican Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 26 minutes ago, Genie said: You said you believed she died in the early hours. That’s conspiracy. Beliefs are just personal opinions not conspiracies FFS. I said I wouldn't be surprised if it were the early hours not that it definitely was . You legitimately don't even know what conspiracy means. Who am I conspiring with when I offer my opinion ? An opinion based upon my old job where Royal protocol is taught in great depth ? I haven't just skimmed over the Wikipedia page 5 minutes after hearing about it . Media control is a major aspect of Royal deaths and they are to follow the instructions laid out by the letter . This includes how the death is reported, when the info is released etc and there will be different versions depending on cause and location of death . It is my personal opinion that she died around lunchtime at the latest and Liz Truss found out around that time period . I'd bet every penny I had on that being the case but can I say it's definitely the case ? No . I do keep in contact with about 50 people who I either served with or are still serving, some of whom are now Warrant Officers and every single one of them said that she was definitely gone before 2pm . I'm not here for clout or to ITK "showboat" but sometimes in life other people are just more experienced and know things you don't and I definitely feel this is one of those times. You can believe whatever you like but I know what I know and I won't apologise for it. I'm sure there are areas of your job I'm clueless about too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Right decision to cancel the football. I'd cancel all Premier League/EFL matches until after the funeral. Good on The Amazons for cancelling their gig last night too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it’s trivial in the grand scheme of things but it matters to me/us. Maybe I’m being selfish but seems overkill to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 I wonder if the zero hour contract staff who would work on concessions at footie matches will get any compensation for having their work taken away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'm currently on holiday in Spain and can honestly say I haven't heard anyone mention it. I really pity those of you having it rammed in your faces 24/7 back in UK. I am pissed off about the footie being off though as was looking forward to sitting outside a bar watching Villa supping a cold one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 Turn the PC on this morning and get greeted with the search bar having a **** black ribbon on it which, if you hover over it, gives you a compilation of media links to the news of the Queen being dead.

I've read this 3 or 4 times....What? I'm still acting like everything is cancelled? What are you talking about? I'm just curious about the mindset of someone who genuinely thinks sport should be cancelled for 2 weeks, I'm wondering what else you think ought to be cancelled 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
