We at Fantasy Football Scout are saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

We’re aware that not all of you will be affected by the events in the United Kingdom on Thursday afternoon but as a mark of respect for those who are, we will be suspending our content for the time being.

Understandably, there is a great deal of uncertainty over the immediate sporting schedule and we will also be awaiting further guidance from the Premier League on whether (or when) this weekend’s planned fixtures will take place.

    Not related to football, but this article is also not about football. I can read the disappointment and the sense of loss in this room. My prayers and condolences with the Royal Family and everyone who is affected by this loss.

    I am curious to know about your thoughts on the new king, His Highness King Charles III. What are your expectations from him in the long term? How do you think will he improve the country and realm and Commonwealth? How do you think he will improve the life of his subjects? Will he be able to replicate the success and aura of the late Queen?

        I am sorry. I did not mean to offend anyone. It is an honest question, I meant, "life of the British people", who are technically his "subjects".

      No. But it’s not possible to due to his age. William might. But she lived through times in which the world turned upside down, and Charles won’t have that opportunity in all probability

        70 years is a long time. I can only imagine. Am I correct in assuming that the general sentiment is to have Prince William ascend the throne as soon as possible?

      He needs to continue the modernisation of the archaic institution to which he is now the head of. I’d guess he’s in a no win situation with how his reign will be viewed bit like Moyes at Utd after Ferguson. His primary role will be not to F**k up and get involved in stuff the Monarch shouldn’t get involved in, anything that brings his role into disrepute will not go down well or last the testing time. In short a rough gig after his Mothers incredible service.

        The more I am reading about him, the more it becomes apparent that he is destined to disappoint. Many observers even suggested that the death of the Queen might the start the slow process of the disintegration of the Commonwealth. I guess it is just like FPL, we have to wait and see. But then again, he learnt from the best, so he may be able to keep things together.

          If you take the environment for example. Something Charlie is very passionate about you could argue that with his new role he could do an awful lot of good. However getting embroiled in such matters with industrial giants, China, the States etc he could very easily do a lot of harm to the institution he now heads. Seems to me the Commonwealth in particular and the growing desire for self determination will indeed grow. Not so much his fault more so the inevitable progress of new or different thinking about what is right in those particular countries. Can see politicians seeing a crack in the facade with which to further their own course. He did himself no favours with Diana bitd for sure and will need to be mindful of the way public opinion shifted so quickly with the lack of compassion shown on her death.

            As Oscar Wilde said, "To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world". However, I do want him to do good on his environmental campaigning and climate change promises. He criticizes the global corporations. He was ahead of his time in many ideas, but that has now become mainstream. Is he already past his ideal time to be the king or does he still fashion himself as a forward-thinking monarch?

              Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t I’d say, imagine him openly getting involved in criticism of others on environment issues whether true or well meant would just not end well. For me it’s not just about his leadership of the institution of the Royal family but the way he is now one of the leaders of the ‘establishment’. The same establishment that leads to Liverpool fans booing the National Anthem and dissing Abide with Me at the Cup Final. Many think that’s abhorrent but the fact is (imo) the normal working man and woman have lost an awful lot of respect for those that lead us. Prince Andrew and his misdemeanours are an example of how they close ranks to protect their own when in the 80’s after his service at the Falklands War he was viewed very differently indeed. Just my opinion though bud. On Modernity and being the head of the Royal family it’s a tough gig indeed as it’s all based on reverence and past respect that was once a given. The fact it lasts till death William although very well liked now will be his fathers age I’d of thought by the time he gets the crown and so it continues.

                One more thing, at times of National Tragedy, Aberfan, Zeebrugge, Hillsborough the Queen led our country and often had her finger on the pulse of the nation and was respected for it with her addresses to the nation. Charles may yet do the same in the future so I agree time will indeed show us but for me the passing of the Queen will and up being another reason to respect less.

                Thanks bud for this comment. It led me to the Wikipedia article of Prince Andrew and looking through the archives of liverpoolecho. Learnt a lot about the sentiment.

                I also found that the king can abdicate so that the next in line becomes the new king, meaning Prince William. But abdication is generally viewed very unfavorably. Why is that so? But there are past examples.

                  Morning Bud. Charles was never gonna abdicate he’ll see it as his birthright as he’s been bought up very different from his siblings and I guess he’s the Great, great, great great great grandson of Queen Victoria and I would imagine he’ll view the succession as his role in life. Their will be many who were fan boys (and girls) of Diana and will hold deep misgivings of his treatment of the ‘peoples princess’ Camilla as Queen Consort will be quite the turnaround for one of the most vilified women this country has ever seen in the aftermath of Diana’s death. I’m not one of them tbh Diana was cut from the same cloth and just part of the ‘establishment’ I’ve already mentioned. Edward VIII abdicated because he fell in love with a woman of questionable morals, I think she was Catholic and twice divorced so again not acceptable to the establishment and he played footsie with Hitler during the war and was in line to be a puppet of the mad dictator had Germany successfully conquered our fair Isle. Imo abdication is viewed as unfavourable because it requires the abdicator to turn his/her back on the Country and the great personal regard held by the country and world I guess of the Royal Family as mentioned above r.e. Edward VIII. Take it easy bud, peace and love Brother.

      Why so many going on about the 'English' monarch and somehow England is exclusively affected.

      There hasn't been an English monarch since The Act of Union 1707.

      She was:

      Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

      Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

      Elizabeth Deux, par la grâce de Dieu Reine du Royaume-Uni, du Canada et de ses autres royaumes et territoires, Chef du Commonwealth, Défenseur de la Foi

      etc

      No mention of England in any of these titles. Her place of birth is not relevant to her title. I don't expect weekend sport to be affected in the realms outside of the UK except for the day of the funeral, and in no way is this disrespectful.
      She died in Scotland and will lie in state at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh as she was the head of state of the UK, before making the journey south.

        I respect today's blanket tv coverage and same again on the day of her funeral.

    Having just read all of these comments - considered and puerile both - I’d just like to say that it’s okay to be sad that the Queen is dead (or not), and disappointed that football is likely off (or not). Just have a bit of respect, eh?

    My personal thoughts are, that if we have to work, we also have to play. So stop it all for a short period of time, or continue both in a respectful way.

    Practically speaking, we already have the WC and very little time in the schedule. So I think no sport Friday and a respectful kickabout on Saturday shouldn’t be out of the question. There will have to be some tinkering around the state funeral though, with a lot of people moving around cities and police needed elsewhere, before any arguments I’ve anything else.

    As for FPL - I’m going to wait on transfers and WC decisions, can’t see any other option really.

      I really hope they keep it rolling, in that a WC is played from the end of one GW until the start of the NEXT game week … so it should roll on until the next active game week. But I fear I am being massively overly optimistic.
