Not yet, I don't think. I saw they were going to leave it up to clubs in negotiation with local police. I'd expect London based games to be off, all others on.
On funnier matters, Juventus game yesterday. 2-2, last minute goal to Juventus. Goal scorer takes his shirt of, why, just why, run around gets booked. It's his second yellow so it's a red. The goal gets rules out by VAR. Two more players get sent off in the melee. Game ends 2-2.
And I also saw that the goal was wrongly ruled out. VAR made a mistake and the scorer was actually onside.

Really? Didn't see it, but just speaking to a mate who did. He said it was definitely offside

I just watched it quickly on Twitter. A guy in an offside position tries to head it in but misses it completely and it goes in anyway from the original header. I don't think his action affected the goalie or any defenders because he was unmarked. So I'd argue he wasn't interfering and the goal should stand. But as he made an effort to try and head it - maybe that's enough to be offside now? I don't really know about this rule anymore to be quite honest.

There was a player on the other side of the pitch playing the Juve player on. He was out of camera shot

A player who was out of camera shot was playing the whole Juve team on from the far side of the pitch.
Theres a pic on twitter somewhere

Haha that is absolutely hilarious. Yet another one in the "it's not VAR it's the idiots using it" column. And they said it was working so much better abroad...

In fairness to the idiot using it, apparently he only had 1 picture available to him and it was from the opposite side that looked clearly offside ??

So he wasn't the idiot but there was an idiot involved in some part of the process.

Definitely offside. Look at the corner flag area. He is definitely interfering with play

Is that picture reliable? I mean, it is twitter
That all just makes it funnier. I still don't understand why a player takes his shirt off, gets carded. It's mindless.

Agree.. I've always found it a weird response to elation to suddenly remove your clothes. Imagine one of us normal folk sealing an important deal with a client at work and immediately whip your shirt over your head in the office.

OK, a Daily Mail story so could be utter rubbish but reports that Sky could have issues with providing Premier League coverage next week as a number of their outside broadcast trucks have been borrowed by Sky New for the Queens funeral coverage.

If true would be just hilarious given how much they have annoyed fans over the years moving game times

At no point did I say the police were not going to be busier at specific times, in specific areas. I disagreed that ALL football should be postponed at the weekend. And, at no point did the FA, police or government say that was the reason they were called off.
I see the Chelsea match is still going ahead. And many other matches are being played. You were saying about the police.....?
