Alfredo made some excellent points here. The decision to postpone those matches was a massive cockup. There is no reason to cancel every football match just because a royal died comfortably four years short of a century in age. A minute silence before each match is more than enough.

The simple fact that no other sport taking place in the country was postponed and managed to handle it all very respectfully shows you that those in charge of football were more interested in grabbing headlines than anything. I can totally understand some postponements due to police resources being needed elsewhere especially in and around London but when they now will cause problems especially after the World Cup then they only have themselves to blame as it hasn't exactly crept up on them.

The irony is that Queen Elizabeth II would have been mortified (and quite possibly horrified) at the way people have reacted to her passing. She would not have approved of people being arrested for holding signs saying "Not My King" and as a great lover of sport, she most definitely would not have approved of sporting events been cancelled.

Spent last few days in Barcelona, its been a relief to escape the onslaught from British mainstream media. No sign of British Royality on any news stand, TV station or nor was it mentioned by any person I interacted with! Going for a long walk with the dog today to avoid as much of the funeral as possible. Thanks for putting out content that brings back sanity and context.

I am truly shocked that it is a bad idea to call of games when some teams basically already have to played every 3 days. Nobody could have ever seen this coming. Jokes aside, I don't think Elizabeth would have enjoyed it if mourning for her went so far that other people risk long term injuries. I am sure as the figurehead of England she wouldn't want people to act like that (probably most people would not want that sadness about their passing would stop parts of peoples lifes and/or society).

Fair play for doing this video. Good to see more people had the same thought about how silly the postponement of games was.

I was at Fratton Park on Saturday and despite the game Vs Plymouth being a derby (of sorts) it was all handled very respectfully. I cannot see why that could not have been done the previous weekend

Fantastic Alfie. Fair play to you. The voice of common sense on this whole matter.

My biggest problem about the queens death is that vital services are being cancelled and it sets a dangerous precedent that if a royal dies especially the king/queen we will shut down everything and if u die due to it, its ur own fault doesnt look good imagin being told u cant feed urself, or get to work to pay the bills or even getting to do the 1 thing that brings u happyness in life cause a 96 year old died in a peaceful way and then on top of all that then being told u should be sad that she is gone and if you dont you are an evil self centered person

@@kevinb9830 most if not all "non serious" surgerys have been postponed foodbanks are closed and even some doctors are closing will lead to at minimum some death imo especially if an doctor appointment is cancelled that would of discovered someone had cancer or some other major disease that is obviously easier to treat the quicker you find out about it + i could see some people taking their own lives due to 1 lossing out on maybe the 1 or a few things keeping them alive like football but also just the overall sad atmosphere the queen dying has brung to the uk for some people especially people mentally unwell if could be the straw that broke the camels back

Spot on mate. Glad someone has finally said it

Perhaps Alfie's finest work and one of the best commentaries on the madness that has descended in the past week. There was no considered decision by the Leagues, simply a knee jerk response by EPL followed by other leagues (probably right that they thought Liverpool fans might boo (with every justification bearing in mind that the Head of a state that consistently denied justice for the 96 had died), but so what? Live with it). Both rugby codes played on, cricket played on, horses raced on Sunday onwards - shows the Leagues contempt for supporters whom they are happy to financially exploit. As for being required to clap at 70 minutes, screw that, are we now North Korea? Will be glad for some kind of normality to return next Tuesday. Also nice tip of the hat by Alfie to Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent".

Great post. You were too generous to the British press though.

im so glad that someone talked about this

Absolutely nailed it. Outstanding work 👏🏻

Love Alfdoids view of the world and the way he explains it, just a guy who knows what he’s on about

Canadian. Sad we lost our Queen but can't help feeling that the cancellations made us (well, the match-going supporters) miss the opportunity to really mark her passing publicly and together.

My country has gone batshit insane also. More than a week now this is the TOP story. The situation is ridiculous.

You have said what a lot of people think but are afraid to say. Excellent well thought out post.I have recommended it on my Facebook page. Lets see if I get any negative comments.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for highlighting this MADNESS!!! I don't think even the leader of North Korea will have such funeral!!

As a Liverpool fan I feel relieved that their games are postponed because they are playing like crap atm

Listening to Alfie going off is now my new favourite hobby, 10/10 for sarcasm bud.

You are absolutely right Alfie. I have respect for anyone willing to object to manufactured consent. The cancelation of football matches, was a reminder. Not really about the Queen as a person, but more a reminder that the "subjects" must remain deferent to the will of a higher class. I don't hear many people talking about it. Good on you.

You’re honestly the 🐐 of KZread football.

Brilliant video Alfie

Really good work here Alfie one of my favourite videos you have done

It's fucking disgraceful how they're threatening lower league teams for going ahead with matches.

Spot on Alfie 100% well said. (And thanks for the 3 points earlier this week!)

I don't usually write comments on KZread but felt like I need to here. Well done Alfie, you've hit the nail on the head here and I agree with absolutely everything you've said here!

Your best video yet

Totally agree with this. The whole reaction to the Queen dying has been so over the top for a person that if we're honest has no affect on our daily lives.

As a Dundee United fan, I'd like to say I deeply resent the idea that only Celtic and Liverpool fans would disrupt any minute's silence. We're perfectly capable of doing so too.

The idea of monarchy was very bizarre for me, but this takes it to the next level. This makes me buy the theory that the monarchy only exists to preserve the tax havens
