Will this get us a day off work? I don’t work Mondays so it better not be a Monday.

I think it will. Truss wants some brownie points and it's big enough to warrant it. Unless the Jubilee holiday counts double like a Christmas birthday. Boo.
Boris' statement, the shameless fuck.
Boris getting in there with a statement
Boris the fucking cretin.
I like that BT aren't allowed to do a pre-match for the United game, but they are allowed to show some old Liverpool highlights set to a techno soundtrack.
If they don’t allow football for the next two weekends there won’t be any proper football until October since internationals are in two weeks
I really hope they don't cancel the football for that long. Would fuck up the schedule too considering the World Cup, how are we going to cram another 2 games in down the line?
Black armbands, play on. She never liked football anyway.
It seems Ian Darke was hoping the United game got called off.
They shouldn't cancel anything, it's not 1939.
They weren't allowed to discuss a match they were about to show live?Originally Posted by Cord
Indeed. Do some silences or applauses if you must, maybe in the 96th minute seeing as every game lasts that long these days, but fuck postponing them.
Oh and what I would love to know is who knew and when. Surely Nicholas Witchell must have done fairly early doors, so fair play to him for sitting there all afternoon pretending she was still alive.
The sports broadcasters should treat this as a dress rehearsal for when Sir Alex Ferguson dies.
Allowed may be the wrong word, they certainly chose not to though.
They also started the actual coverage by pointedly saying it was UEFA's choice the game goes ahead.
They put on some Ligue 1 highlights instead which is a lot more respectful.They weren't allowed to discuss a match they were about to show live?
I've just had a look at the responses to the Twitter announcement Lewis posted and fuck me, the broadcasters and establishment bodies are fighting a losing battle if they want to introduce respect into the proceedings.
The whole family hate him, so he's probably still getting fed fake statements claiming she's perked up a bit.
Reckon your old man knew through his contacts?
All previous/current Best Poster winners were notified at least an hour before it went public.
I think Americans that love the Royal Family are my favourite Niche. They absolutely ADORE the Royals. They don't know anything about them, but they adore them none the less.
We've already had three home games postponed because of the Commonwealth Games, she's taking the piss if West Brom on Saturday is off now as well.
Why would they cancel football for this? Like my brain honestly can’t make up a reason.
Reckon Farage is printing off the queen's face to slap on his blow up for a bit of fun tonight
They all think he's a knob so he was probably SEETHING at all the read but unreplied WhatsApp messages he was sending.
Practically speaking, could be a lot of police resources diverted to various events surrounding it.
Otherwise, as a mark of respect, i.e. how you can play trivial games when the Queen has died, albeit I think the number of people who think like that (and there will be millions of them) isn't what it used to be.
BT Sport showing their respect with no adverts at half time of the United game just a splash page with their logo.
Balls.
Hopefully the non-league holds firm.
My car needs to go into the garage Saturday morning and I'm worried I'll struggle to get to Sunderland, so it's not the worst news.
The football announcement.
me mam just shared this on facebook and now im in tears rip are lizzy
Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that "I know"
I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.
I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.
Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King's and Queens,
are Monarch's every day.
I was given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.
I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.
Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.
J.Boyle (heartfelt)
I need some tissues, welling up here.

The angels at the pearly gates
All turned to me at once
Making Pizza Express gags
About my son, the nonce
she will never be forgotten do a lap with sir tom my queen
Wonder if she’ll tell diana exactly how she bumped her off
If he did, he wasn't gracious enough to share.
Isn’t that from the Giggs trial?
no shush pen show some respect
she was quite beautiful in her younger years look how happy she is here can we close the forum for 24 hours out of respect please my heart is broken
Didn't some BBC bod accidentally announce she had died this afternoon [obviously quickly recanted/redacted]?
