Sorry for your loss, I didn't mean to be disrespectful, the world is changing and I'm not keeping up

No problem m8; you wasn’t disrespectful at all. He had a good innings aged 98 when he passed away. His last three years in a care home and would have been better passing away earlier.

im sure ive seen EFL has said it will call all sat games off 

EFL have said they will not take place at the time of the funeral. 7pm is feasible, but noon maybe not (after Port Vale's game of three 'halves' yesterday).

Heard he designed his own hearse based on a Land Rover chassis because of The Duke’s ruggedness.

Prince Andrew has designed his based on a Morris Minor.

Can you still get a coil to fit a Princess?

Sunday isn’t an option as we play on the following Tuesday.

I think it will stay as Saturday.

I was just thinking they might do Sunday and move all Tuesday games to a Wednesday

Salford now playing at half 12 on Saturday so that's probably a good indication.

6 games in our league moved to 12.30, i reckon the rest will follow suit unless there are 2 teams who don't have a midweek game facing each other

Booked the pub for a couple hours. Efl can sod off and I’ll give the game a swerve 

Yeh i'm booked in the boozer Saturday, from 5pm though so it should tie in quite nicely, watch match with a few at home then sidle off to the pub with 3 points in the bag. I wonder why they didn't just make the funeral 12.30 and let all the footy games kick off as scheduled at 3pm?

Ma'am wants to watch the superwhites first- to cheer her up before she has to go and inter her husband.

Along with "Cheltenham will be hard to catch", "Morecambe will be a tough game" and "Salford could be a season decider" the phrase "I'm booked into the pub" will now be added to words I'd never dreamt I'd see.

The fckg Chinese & their labs are responsible for a lot of shite.

Allegedly

Making an appointment for  a haircut was a new on for me and it seems to have spiralled from there
