Will the government allow matches to take place, given the continuing protests and dozens of deaths? There is no internet and many cities are effectively under martial law. We can expect at least loud anti-government slogans to be heard if people are allowed to enter the stadiums. The next matches are in 2 days (November 21). I think it is disrespectful to play with fresh innocent blood on the streets. Any thoughts?

It looks like the government needs more time to focus on killing its own people; soccer matches are a distraction.

The Iranian government decided to increase Iran's super low gasoline prices. The new price will only apply to the amount of gas that exceeds a subsidized 60 liter per family per month. The additionally money will be distributed to the poor.
The move makes economic sense. It had previously been recommended by the IMF.
The usual suspects have used the announcement to launch protests and riots in several Iranian cities. Some banks were set on fire and security personal was attacked. The CIA and the MEK cult are certainly trying to push for additional disturbances. The Iranian government cut internet access to prevent that.
As long as I can remember such protests and riots have happened in Iran every other year or so. They usually die down within a week. I am confident that the same will happen this time.
But that of course does not stop the "regime changers" and their claqueur to raise the usual nonsense. So we get "eyewitness testimony" from "activists" who are not in Iran on events that allegedly happen within Iran.

I am not sure who "Bernard" is but you quote him without reference to the more than 100 confirmed deaths from an internationally respected human rights organization:

I am sorry, this is more than a ticket sale issue. The IFF could have played the matches without spectators if necessary. Out of respect to those who have died in the streets, please be fair.

No
My internet comment was in regard to when PGL games will resume. My understanding is as long as there is no internet they can not sell internet ticket sale.
Off course the reason for internet disconnect is the riot that started by price increase.as expressed in portion of that article.
