[MATCH OFF] Weather threat to Burton game

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Dirty weather girls are better than anything I can offer to be fair.

Do they smell of fish ?

 

[SB_90]

As i said earlier. I live a mile away & there was no realistic way to clear pavements in time

 

[Fev-blade]

Was that the one when Villa got a pen at Kop end and we snowballed Dwight Yorke? he still scored though

That’s the one,, still remember that well

 

[The Crab]

Do they smell of fish ?

I hope not

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Gone for a Burton.

 

[JJ Sefton]

When was our last 3pm Saturday kick off?

 

[Stanthemanfan]

The only positive is we'll be fresher for Fulham. That's it.

It'll cause unwanted fixture congestion and midweek games are often more unpredictable.

I hope it's rearranged for Tuesday 13th March between Ipswich away and Forest at home.

Is this a "tactical" postponement?
Only one in championship so far

 

[jt64]

Can we not rearrange this for the 24th? It's international break but it's not like either team is going to miss anyone of critical importance

 

[JackSUFC]

When was our last 3pm Saturday kick off?

In terms of home games, excluding PNE in the cup - Bolton on Dec 30th. Before that, Hull on the 4th November!

That would be the best solution but judging by the Walsall game last year a game has to be postponed if one of your unused substitutes is in his country's U21 squad...

But even if both clubs were missing one or two surely there'd still be a mutual desire to play the game on that day.

The forecast has changed since earlier.

It originally showed no more snow from 10am this morning. Now shows heavy snow through tonight and tomorrow morning.

I'd hazard it wasn't so much a club decision but more a Police and SAG (council) one. They're going to want to be concentrating their efforts on keeping routes to essential services open instead of arsing about on Bramall Lane. Add to that the complete lack of bus services on the estates in Sheffield and the crowd would be shocking anyway.

 

[JohnDenver]

Never in doubt that it’d be off, for me. Optimists either hadn’t been checking the forecast, or underestimated the risk-aversion crippling our culture.

I've got some sympathy with that, but if emergency services are struggling I've no complaints. It's only togger.

Ed - as Linz alludes to above...

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

The older we get the worse it was and the better we were!!

Seriously, when you read about days off school and days off work due to adverse weather it makes me fucking weep. It was honestly zero in my day and a few on here will back me up on this.

Cars have made legs become redundant. I used to be a postman so I’m happy to walk 10 miles a day but a lot of people seem to have forgot how to use them and also see public transport as something for scumbags. The laws around these days will also back up the lazy. I’m saying all this and I’ve not worked myself for the last 2 days !

 

[grafikhaus]

This country is fucked now,,we let weather just win..
Clear what we can and lob down a shit load of grit, get wrapped up and get to the game,sadly that don’t seem to be the case these days

It’s all this health and safety bollocks coupled with the claim if you can society of today, it’s a complete and utter shambles.

I agree. I've followed all the advice on telly that anyone travelling in this snowy spell must take emergency equipment, including a shovel, sleeping bag, foil blanket, food, drink, de-icer, rock salt, first-aid kit and jump leads.

I got some very strange looks on the train.

 

[RammyBlade]

Apart from being old and fat?

Ageist and fattist - down with you ! Personally I think she is gorgeous and definitely would !

 

[Davalon]

Let's not pretend.

It's not about concern for safety, it's about concern over getting held responsible.

It's the way it is today everywhere.

 

[Davalon]

She looks like a proper filthy milf. The things she doesn’t know wouldn’t be worth knowing.

Carrying a bit of a gunt

 

[RammyBlade]

She's a damn sight younger and a damn sight slimmer than me!!!

And them lips are very inviting !

 

[Fraggle Blade]

Does this mean the shareholder meeting on saturday morning is also postponed?
anyone heard about that yet?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

There's absolutely no reason why the match should be called off unless it puts three feet of snow down tonight/tomorrow.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

It's very nice to hear your concern for those less able than yourself. I'm an OAP with a knackered back and a dodgy knee amongst other things. During this morning's snowstorm I decided to take the dog for a walk in the woods. I (and the dog) enjoyed it enormously and I felt better for it. Obviously I should have read this forum first and listened to the advice of my youngers and betters and stayed in, all wrapped up and warm with a cup of Ovaltine. What you need to realise is that us older ones are made of tougher stuff than you lot will ever be so you need to concern yourselves with toughening yourselves up rather than worrying about us. And take your being-offended-on-behalf-of-others somewhere where it may be better appreciated. Oh, and I'll be at the match on Saturday.

Now Now 'Snoots'
What have your mother and I told you about mocking the afflicted
Remember you wouldn't have even got to "the woods" without The Bentley let alone watch Burrell walking the Corgi.
One continues to marvel at your modesty & humility in making light of your horrendous afflictions by stoically recognising/ suggesting that everyone is younger (& "better") than you
Such will be immensely heartening and a great example for the great unwashed even if they think they're badly done to.
Remember what we learned from your private 'footer' tutor about 'sins in a previous life' - you know the chap I'm referring to, one of the 2 crooners who rolled up their jacket sleeves - how common - jaunty little tune though.
You've really not learned much from the situation from your nephew Chuck (Aunty Liz & Uncle Phil's wee lad) with your
"being-offended-on-behalf-of-others" comment. He does that all the time (about turnips) and HE's going to be King one day !
PS what is this 'Ovaltine' of which you speak, have we run out of Henri IV Dudognon Heritage ? - If so I'll wager that baaarstad Aunty Marge has been let out of the dungeon again
If you insist on attending an Association Football match on Saturday perhaps you could ask this 'Longhorn' fellow to loan you his wheelchair - it will be much safer than your bath chair I'll wager, and he could push it for you as well rather than being sat on his expansive posterior with his floppy lifeless limbs inconveniencing some other poor soul

What is this glorious nation of ours coming to ?
I blame that Beveridge fellow - damn Trot
Next thing you know they'll be wanting to vote.
Shame Mags isn't still with us - she'd not tolerate any of this 'love thy neighbour' tosh.
Hmmm thinking about it her hubby Dennis 'enjoyed a tipple' perhaps it was him that had away with the Brandy .

If you spent less time on here they might get cleared ......

I'm old and fat too so she'll do for me

 

[The Crab]

Let's not pretend.

It's the way it is today everywhere.

It's why I was told no to go in, I was prepared to walk to work.

My youngest is at university in Newcastle and you will get run out of town if caught wearing a coat on a night out whatever the time of year.

Scots with their brains removed!!

Can I asked which supermarket you assisted in stripping the shelves in a panic buying frenzy?

No milk, no eggs, no bread, I'd better buy some icing sugar and a tin of cherry blossom just in case..... Oooh maple syrup....

 

[Rob86]

If Fulham vs Derby ends up going ahead then this could play in our favour...

I reckon it’ll make little to no difference unless Sessegnon and Cairney get injured or suspended.

Other than that reckon they’ll be fit as fiddles. Particularly as Derby aren’t exactly the most intense teams to play. But I get your point. Gives us more rest at least !!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Was that the one when Villa got a pen at Kop end and we snowballed Dwight Yorke? he still scored though

My memory of that is the majority of the snowballs heading not Yorke’s way, but directed at the cheating bastard Savo Milosevic. I haven’t seen the snow conditions in Sheffield but they were bad, and I think fans were called in to help clear the snow from the surrounding areas.

EDIT

Yep, although my memory is of snowballing that cheating git Milosovic who dived for the pen.

Should have checked that before posting – beat me to it, was my recollection too.

 

[Rob86]

Hopefully rearranged for 24th March then it’ll break up the monotony of ‘international week’ might be warmer too. Not the end of the world !

 

[Toronto Blade]

Is it really about the snowmegeddon the forecaster is getting hairless about or a good rest before Fulham.I usually laugh at a forecast for snow unless it is the day before.
