Shame the game couldn't have been pushed back to Monday or Tuesday evening.

Nah. Do you reckon they'd be feeling any better?

And never mind the effect it would have on both sides' next matches with a short turnaround.

Manchester United played and won the Europa League Final two years ago 48 hours after the Manchester bombing, although they cancelled all their pre-game press conferences.

Not practical in this case to play a delayed game I know because of fixture congestion, but it is a shame that the Crusaders winning streak ended because of events beyond their control and we were all denied a great fixture.

@sparky At least their non-losing streak is still standing.

[Machpants]

Their winning streak hasn't ended, they haven't lost or drawn a game. They have just had points allocated like a draw. This means stuff all for the winning streak - not that they'll give a shit anyway

[Stargazer]

@Machpants Yup, different from what my previous response in this thread might seem to suggest, I agree with that.
You can't lose, and you can't not-win, if you don't get to play.

In the UK and working in London we live with the feeling that ther could be these kinds of attacks
at the back of your mind of every day. So much so, it has become the norm which is a sad indictment on life in a big city.
What we cannot do is allow these people to think they have won. So, we carry on.
