The penalty was a joke and maybe some of the Utd players weren't 100% focused, given the earlier sad news. I guess it was too late to cancel the game but I wish they had.
The 2nd team in Serie A currently beat the 7th in England, so an expected result
on current form, you could say YES it was an expected result.....thats football for you.
How many players were english last night and would the foreign contingent care?? but you need some sort of excuse i suppose

No excuses, the result stands. I'm also glad this weekends footy is cancelled as a mark of respect.
yet you made 3 excuses in your first post.......
Your like a dog with a bone lol
. Probably a good job the games are cancelled this week. I think some of the so called top sides need a reset!Your like a dog with a bone lol
No point making a post saying no excuses, while actually making excuses……….
but it may not just be this week. Funeral is Monday 19th, do you think london will be open on the weekend for people to travel around for football, rugby etc etc???? I mean from what up I have read its a 4 day procession for the queens coffin, before Mondays funeral

How is stopping football for one, potentially two weekends a 'mark of respect'?
I don't see it myself. A minutes' silence, or applause, black armbands etc would be a much more positive/open way of marking her passing.
You could have a minutes' silence at the start of the match, then the applause on the 70th minute.

I just don't know. I guess it's how we all feel. And I'm gutted.

I'm not convinced every team would risk asking their fans to respect a minutes silence, or any other mark of respect.

Disappointed to find our local derby at Wigan is postponed, potentially I won't get to the match now, neither will my lad, as we're in California for a month in October/November.
I don't agree with cancelling football or other sporting fixtures unless policing demands prevent events going ahead. I won't turn this in to a debate and will say no more.
I see somethings haven't changed in here. Disappointing.

Work colleagues Son was at the game and recorded the minutes silence. Quite disgusting behaviour and bare in mind mostly all home fans. Once again highlights Scotland for all the wrong reasons.

Thing is it happens on some occasions. My experience is in general the vast majority respect these things but from time to time a few knuckleheads don't.
I must say I don't agree with the numerous minutes of silence we have at football matches. I often have to ask my neighbour what it's for? He usually doesn't know either. I rather object to being forced to take part in something which I have no knowledge of........still I only have to give a minute to someone else which is a very tiny thing to ask.
