Queen Elizabeth II: Premier League Games Postponed this weekend by politicoNG(op): 11:41am On Sep 09, 2022

Premier League games are to be postponed this weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Buckingham Palace announced the death of the Queen on Thursday.

Later that evening, the EFL announced that fixtures that were scheduled to be played Friday had been postponed.

Burnley and Norwich were due to face each other in the Championship, while Tranmere Rovers and Stockport County had a League Two match scheduled. These matches are no longer taking place today.

In their statement, the EFL added that a decision on whether the weekend’s games will go ahead has yet to be made.

An EFL statement on Thursday evening read: “As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II earlier today, the EFL has confirmed that its fixtures scheduled for tomorrow evening (Friday 9 September) — Burnley v Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County — have been postponed.

“A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend’s scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning. ”

The Northern Irish FA have announced that this weekend’s fixtures in the country have been postponed.

Seems I will stop following match abroad, we all need to develop our league.

If we have functional leagues, some people abroad won’t decide how we spend our weekend with football match.

It's ridiculous but not as ridiculous as the lot of Nigerians that are mourning her on their pages.
Personally I won't even bother to say sh*t about Queen Elizabeth's death cos it's not worth it.
That woman took everything from Africa in the name of colonialism and she's an egocentric racist that's not worthy of any sympathy whatsoever.
