The games should have been played in my opinion but maybe they were worried about being criticised for playing or they might worry that a load of idiots would hijack it for the wrong reasons and show disrespect like I believe the Zurich fans did last night.
Well played West Ham with a spontaneous National Anthem and the Real Sociadad fans at Old Trafford who showed much respect.

With cup games in January hopefully these will be played later in the season when not so many teams are in Europe. Although we all know they will be played when it best suits the “bigger” clubs

Postponement. What an utterly ridiculous gesture.

If the Queen stood for anything, it was the "life must go on" ethos. She herself showed us perhaps more than anyone that it could go on even at the worst of times, without sacrificing dignity, reflection, and respect.

The postponement of games this weekend is nothing more than yet another sickening example of people's modern-day desire to bathe in the spotlight of a major event; to somehow make ourselves central to a narrative which is entirely unrelated to what we are doing. By postponing football a statement is being made about football, not about the death of the Queen.

The club's social media announcements yesterday, a minute's silence at games and black armbands were both appropriate and sufficient displays of mourning instead of which we now have a completely unnecessary and self-indulgent hi-jacking by football of the nation's grief. Mourning the loss of the Queen is in no way enhanced by the postponement of football matches. In fact, the very opposite is true. This weekend's games afforded a now wasted chance for communities to come together and collectively and publicly show their respect.

Pathetic. One again the game of football makes me utterly sick.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Penrith played Parramatta on the other side of the World this morning. They held a minutes silence observed by all of the crowd and then played the game.

Well done Aussies.

Solid post.

I feel as though the absolute pomp and ceremony of the royal family has come to the fore which is of course superior to any logic or objective decision making.

I am quite comfortable stating I was very saddened at the Queens death and feel it is worthy of marking, mourning, celebrating her life etc however the correlation to a seemingly mass banning of football, with all going on in this country atm seems so archaic it’s unbelievable.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I’m in two minds about this for one reason postponing football. It is a major time for this country and a chance to show that the history and heritage of these islands are more important than anything or anyone, especially those who detest their own, and for that reason I can accept it. You know the weekend would be ruined by the behaviour of a self obsessed footballer.
