Re: Chris Wood being subbed

Wood, when he’s on a good run of form, is an asset and a real handful for opposition defenders. Wood, when he’s on a poor run of form, and he has more than his share of such spells, doesn’t contribute nearly enough. He’s started this season very slowly. Hopefully he will hit one of his form patches ...

See post above. That pitch would have been playable any time after 2pm if they'd just carried on clearing the snow and the ref had been wise enough to delay his decision.

Re: MATCH OFF.

Football fans shouldn’t come into a decision on whether a pitch is fit for a game. Given the forecast, it wasn’t beyond the realms of possibility that the game could have gone ahead. However, there needs to be a limit on how long after the scheduled kick off the game can be delayed for. I’d say tha...
