In todays Observer Coley quite rightly says the Port Vale ref should have delayed calling off the match to give the pitch time to clear as the rain had stopped. The ref said the pitch was dangerous. Can anyone tell me how a bit of water on a pitch can be deemed dangerous?
Forget that - of course even stepping outside the doorstep can dangerous in the minds of the fearful. The paranoid elf and safety culture is slowly strangling the life out of our society.
Does anyone else remember the great photo of living legend Tom Finney surfing the puddles in the 50's and creating a huge bow wave?
Wonder what he thinks of it all.
