Premier League Postponed.
Effectively football as a whole was cancelled with even grassroots football cancelled.
Meanwhile many other events have gone ahead with tributes and a minutes silence for The Queen.
A backlash against the cancellation has occurred with people like Piers Morgan and Gary Neville pointing out that football with the volume of people who would have been present for matches that would have provided the best opportunity for people to show respect and honour The Queen.
Black armbands, periods of silence, likely God Save The Queen would have broken out even if not planned.
Tens of thousands of people in places all over the country showing respect and honouring the late Monarch.
But Football in trying to show respect and whatnot has dropped a bit of a clanger and missed a great opportunity.
Whenever it resumes I am sure the above will occur anyway but it won't hold the same reverence a week, 2 weeks, quite possibly even a month after the death of Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
Which brings us to the question of just when will it resume?
In theory we play Manchester United next weekend, but the funeral will likely occur within the next 7-10days and that will of course mean cancellations.
And after that is an international break and so it's entirely possible we won't play again till the beginning of October, almost exactly 1 month after The Queen passed away.
So obviously tributes won't be as poignant as they would have been days later.
But also when exactly do they fit in these missed matches?
Because of the winter World Cup the Season is already compact.
There isn't a huge amount of room to squeeze in postponed fixtures.
So when will they do it?
And should the Football have been postponed?
