Any match involving a football was banned last weekend by order of the English Football Association. From the Premiership, watched all over the world, to women’s football, schools, churches pubs, not one ball was kicked.
I cannot figure out why?
This weekend more top flight matches are postponed. Home ties involving London teams are called off, apparently because of a shortage of police officers. But also postponed is Manchester United v Leeds United, taking place 200 miles away and 2 days before the funeral. Utter madness.
