It's no great shock to see yet another game postposted due to "health and safety". Personally, I think it's about time the footballing whimps of today made a decision to firm up and become real men. It's about time the "boys" threw away their ridiculous gloves, snoods, heated jock straps, frost detecting boots, boots with built in ABS, touchline drinks when they fancy one, chest protecting vests in case of the weather being a bit chilly, etc., etc. Of course I accept it was the referee who was responsible for postposting the game and not the players. I am not that old, but I can remember when the real men of football would use the orange ball so it could be seen against the backdrop of the frosted or snow covered pitch. The lines were also painted in colour other than white for obvious reasons. The whole concept of health and safety in spectator sport has gone mad. Only recently, I recall a top level rugby game taking place behind closed doors because their was a little ice around the stadium. It's just as well we have got the World Cup tournament coming to the UK. A match would have been postposted and the entire ground placed in quarantine in the event that a seagull flew over and had a crap which then landed on the hallowed turf! Rant over. Looking forward to seeing you all on NYD (subject to having NO weather on that day!)
