Not commented on this recently but bottom line is a 96 year old woman died, sad for the family etc but it happens every day, should the country grind to a halt over it, no it should not. Let those who want to pay respects etc do so but normal life should go on, have a minutes silence, wear a black armband etc but the football games and normal life should go ahead. I'm on holiday these 2 weeks and so glad I am out of the country while this circus is going on the whole response is well over the top.

The point that is being ignored by the blinkered is that it is not just football that is/was cancelled, in Scotland or elsewhere. It is not some royalist, SFA, police supported attack on the common Scottish man as some suggest. As for this weekend, if the Police are required elsewhere then sport will have to take a back seat for another few days. It is not the end of the world. I would imagine all sporting authorities are trying their utmost to ensure as much sport as possible takes place over the next week or so. But it is not within their control. The Country wanted to pay their respects. And that included many Scots as the queues in Edinburgh today show. Police resources are spread thin. As a non Royalist that does not include me. but I respect and accept that the majority of the UK population wishes to do so, annoying and disruptive as that may be.
