    At a time when many have been unable to attend the funerals of close family members, the wall to wall media coverage of Prince Philip's passing and "stop the world" approach to his funeral could be seen as a tad insensitive. Those who wish to pay respect will have ample opportunity to do so through every BBC TV and radio channel over the coming week and for days beyond. No need to go beyond a minutes silence and an arm band.

    Aye but there was no reason for the Hearts game to get pulled last night but it still was.

    Thats not right that they are expected to play 4 games in that time.
    They are surely entitled to ask that the Thursday game be cancelled and played after cup tie.
    That schedule would be tough enough for full time pros.
    It was the League 1 and 2 clubs that came up with that schedule so they could restart and fit in 22 games.

    The match is scheduled for BBC ONE Scotland, not the BBC Scotland* channel: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vdz8

    (And for whoever it was asking about BBC Two Scotland earlier, that channel no longer exists; it was closed when the BBC Scotland channel opened).

    ETA: *Confusion probably caused by the channel having the same name as the organisation.

    It was the SFA website that i first saw the schedule for the upcoming game and they gave it as...
    BBC Scotland ....Not BBC 1 Scotland
    Anyway looks like the beeb will not show any football that day

    "Its all Greek to me "!!

    From what I can see, the SFA site just listed the organisations that bought the rights (BBC Scotland and Premier Sports) without specifying the actual channels, it's just that "BBC Scotland" is also a channel name. All moot now anyway.

    Friday's Scottish Cup tie is on the BBC Scotland channel.

    I wonder if there's any scope for moving Saturday's ties to Sunday.

    I'm no Royalist but the increasing amount of disrespect in so many aspects of life is really p****** me off. Some of the things I have seen written about the Chooky and the Royal family over the last day and a half have been horrendous.
    Like it or not the old boy should be awarded the respect his position deserves and if that means no sport over the period of the funeral so be it. I don't see a problem with evening kick offs that day though.

    If you want to be able to watch it then you should be able to.

    Why should people that don’t want to watch it have it forced down their throat though?

    What respect does his position deserve? I don’t mean that as a disparaging remark. He is no better than anybody else, he’s human like the rest of us, no less, no more.

    Whether his position deserved any particular respect is a matter of opinion.

    It shouldn’t be impacting on the ability of the rest of us to get on with things - not much else to be doing right now to enjoy yourself so cancelling people’s pastimes for it is a bit much.

    I believe the monarchy is an insult to the population and should be abolished. So why would I have any respect for the position he attained?

    Hmmm. It's an emotive quote, but it's about gun control.

    I disagree with him, and I'm a republican, but having the view that guns shouldn't be banned doesn't, in itself, make you horrible.

    It makes you wrong. In my view.

    Surely that respect went when the position of Queen and royal family was used to keep Andrew out of trouble? Its mental to think they deserve any bit of respect while they are protecting an alleged peadophile.

    If the game does go ahead at the original time it certainly won’t be on TV, and would be iPlayer only.

    I’d imagine the old firm will definitely end up on the Sunday and the rest of the Saturday games will either be moved to Sunday or possibly offered an evening kick off on Saturday or something? We’ll be moved to a time the BBC can fit us in on Tv so who knows

    I'm sure the Duke of Edinburgh wouldn't have wanted Edinburgh's premier football team and their fans to have our game canceled.

    Re the Duke himself, he was a product of his class, his upbringing, and the era he was born in. If people want to pay their respects for the good things he did or/and the position he held that's fine by me. I'm guessing he'd be quite baffled himself at the wall to wall "pretendy grief" as a previous poster described it. It's also quite ironic that the insensitive unthinking bluntness he was ridiculed for during his life is now being repackaged as some kind of whimsical and endearing personality trait.

    The abuse has been horrendous, but this part of your post I couldn't disagree more with.
    I can see why people get so angry when this is a prevalent view across the media as well.

    He lived a life, IMO, of completely undeserved privaledge, and in death this continues.

    Propel mention the good things he has done, but nearly all were part of his role anyway and he would have had a team of people to cater for his every need along the way.

    I will not say anything abusive, as that is wrong, he was a man and deserves every respect for that. His family need time to grieve.

    The nation does not need time to grieve.

    It's just sticking it down the throat of the average person that you will never be given such undeserved privaledge.

    Thousands of folk recently have lost their lives and their families were not allowed to grieve properly.

    The abuse is never acceptable.

    The anger is more than acceptable.

    The issue could be if it went to extra time and penalties.

    I fully accept that plenty folk have plenty to dislike about the Royal family but priviliged life or not, past foot-in-mouth moments or not, he was the Queen's husband. That is what makes things a tad different from the average Joe Bloggs in the street. To imply that the funeral of the Queen's husband should be no different to the average man is plain ridiculous and a very poor angle on any anti-Royal Family argument. I repeat, I am no Royalist and am generally highly critical of all the fawning over the Royals that persists through much of the media and a good proportion of the population, but I can live with a 2-3 hour window of no formal sport this Saturday as a mark of respect for the passing of the Queen's husband. No-one will be forced to watch it - I certainly won't - nor indeed to mark the one-minute silence although no doubt some neanderthals will set off fireworks during it and think they are radical rebels rather than just complete tits.
    Watch catch-up, Time for Heroes dvd or Film 4, go for a walk, play golf, dust and hoover with Lynyrd Skynyrd at full volume through your headphones, whatever. It will be a minor inconvenience and we'll all get to see the mighty Hibees pump Stranraer without too much delay.

    Don't see any reason for our game being moved though no doubt it will be. Surely would have made more sense for the funeral to be in the morning rather than have it when most sports would be on. Deliberate forcing of it onto the public imo.

    I would say this is the inherent problem for me. Why do you think it is ridiculous? Just because I am going against something that has always been done? Because it goes against the grain of what we have been told since we were wee?


    In my opinion, it is very easy to fall into a trap that royalty, celebrities, public figures are somehow better or more special than everyone else, with none of it being on merit.

    Because he was the "queens husband", doesn't do it for me.

    There are plenty countries around the world where they have either rejected or done away with royalty. They would not think this point of view ridiculous.

    Surprisingly, I'm not overtly anti-royal! I'm anti doing something just because we have always done it and praising folk for which f@nny they came out of :)

    Totally agree. Very little for the public to enjoy at the moment. Sport on a Saturday is a bit of a saviour. Could have the funeral any time they wanted given there’s only 30 folk going and it’s not as if any of them had to take a day of work to attend. Everyone else will just need to rearrange things to suit though.

    So the funeral of the husband/wife of a serving President of a Republic would pass off un-noticed like the average person's?
