Rightly so, in my opinion. While it may be true that life must go on for those that remain, I don't think many of the players will feel much like playing.

I was suprised the Liverpool v Boavista match actually went ahead, on Tuesday night, of all nights. Astonishing.

I think that the Worthington cup matches should have been postponed, not only would this have given Everton a 2nd chance to win the Worthington Cup 2nd Round match against Crystal Palace, but I think it was a bit disrespectful to play the matches under the shadow of the attacks. It should have been a time for mourning rather than a time for fotball. It was good that the matches where played because it gave the fans an alternative to think about, but I think it was a bit disrespectful.

*Why do Everton always go out on penalties!?!? Last year in the Worthington Cup, it was Bristol Rovers, this year it was Crystal Palace! Why are we so crap!!!? I think I should set up a forum where people can place donations to Everton Football Club, Everton need your support, we have had one generous donation from a Mr Wenger who spent 10 million quid on the worst center forward in Arsenal's history*

nope, all the footy is still going ahead tomorrow. Minutes silence before every game.

I don`t know how anyone can think of football after the events of Tuesday. Suddenly 22 men on a pitch kicking a ball about seems a bit minimal to thousands dead, injured or missing...
I know you don`t mean to offend anyone, and none is taken - i`m simply saying i think world perpectives have just gotten a bit bigger than a game of football, thats all...

Is the footy called off tomorrow??

hmm understandable.............

PSV have been saying they want thier game replayed! nothin to do with the fact that they lost 4-1...

The games have been postponed to october 10th i think.

Its for the best - Im suprised that yesterdays games were not postponed!!

I don't think I could have enjoyed watching a match tonight anyway.

It's for the best.
