EL is under UEFA jurisdiction, will they cancel, postpone game?

There's no room in the calendar for it to be postponed. We're playing all midweeks until the World Cup.

 

[Samid]

I think it will be called off. There's no way the universe will accept Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Europa League.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Wait are they actually contemplating cancelling this over the possible passing of the Queen? nggggggggggggg

 

[Posh Red]

There’s two hours until kick off. Highly doubt it will be cancelled.

 

[groovyalbert]

This can't be called off now, especially as this rounds' fixtures have already kicked off.

Doubt there'll be any domestic football this weekend though, assuming what people expect is happening happens.

 

[Green Yellow Red]

Scared we're gonna go backwards tonight especially with Maguire coming back in. Not looking forward to it. I wanna forget that old defence and move on.... Maguire is gonna need to be perfect tonight and score for him to even get a glimmer of hope from me.

No chance. What are they going to do? Send 70k people packing on short notice and tell Real to go home?

They could award it as a draw

6pm has been and gone. UEFA should tell the UK authorities to go feck themselves if they get a call now, or do that thing where you feign that the signal is bad and you can’t hear them

 

[Paul the Wolf]

When the last monarch died, King George VI, no football was cancelled and we beat Derby 3-0 away the day after the funeral. No I wasn't born at the time.

 

[Strootman's Finger]

It would be entirely appropriate to call off tonight's game, if an announcement of the Queen's passing is made, possibly at 6pm.

Issues around rearranging fixtures, travelling fans, refunds etc, are of no significance in comparison with what this impending event signifies.

It's 2022, who the feck cares?

What does this signify honestly?

Damn. I forgot about that. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Where are you seeing this? Twitter?

i’m talking PL not this game

People are going without food or heat daily, some of them children and this is what you think is the priority. Some people are born to be ruled.

If the game was cancelled it would be a win to Real Sociedad.

 

[Scarecrow]

What’s this talk about cancelling, what did I miss?

edit: because of the queen, seriously? What does that have to do with it?

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Hysteria

 

[George The Best]

Her death has just been announced

Some weirdo's who probably think the British empire was a benevolent force for good.

No one called off any footy the weekend after 9/11, when 3000 people died.
People die all the time, it happens, she was really old.

What are you on about? When has anything like this happened after a politician’s death? I don’t want to be insensitive but this makes no sense to me whatsoever.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

I can’t see tonight’s game being cancelled. There will be a minutes silence of course and this weekends fixtures across the whole UK will be postponed.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Rest In Peace

 

[mu4c_20le]

They just made an announcement on BT, followed by 5 seconds of silence, then back to business

 

[Annihilate Now!]

It's too late to call it off

It will be the first public minutes silence I think? Along with West Ham

 

[wangyu]

So any news on the line ups?

 

[Paul the Wolf]

So any news on the line ups?

So far we only know that Charles is King

 

[Pronewbie]

Will the games this weekend be cancelled? They did that for Princess D

Leaked that Cristiano starts. But we already knew that.

 

[DWelbz19]

I think the weekend games seem pretty likely.

Not back to business, there's no half-time show. Just a repeat of BT sizzle reels.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Obviously

 

[dubplate warrior]

[r3idy]

I guess that will be dictated if Saturday is classed as a national day of mourning

 

[AaronRedDevil]

No offence. But they better not...

 

[peridigm]

Aren't lineups normally submitted 90 minutes prior for European matches?

A minute's silence ahead of kick-off
United's clash with Real Sociedad will go ahead as normal tonight, and there will be a minute's silence ahead of kick-off in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.

 

[royalewithcheese2006]

Better enjoy this, lads, no footy until the 2nd of October after that. And it's against City.

Pardon my ignorance since I'm not from the UK but why does today's game or the league games that follow need to be called off due to the Queen's passing? Surely people can pay their respects and continue life as normal?

PS: Not sure if this is sarcasm.
