Is it true that the Burton players were sent out with magnifying glasses to identify this frozen area?
 
TBH I think this place is just bonkers - people get all angry and worked up every time anyone scores a goal against us, or a referee decides a surface isn't safe etc. And then start blaming someone, whoever is standing closest at the time. Usually Neil Critchley at the moment.

It's an emotional madhouse. I can't be doing with it. A lot of people around here need to chill out and grow up a tad. IMHO.
 
Admits it:

Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said he was disappointed that the game has not gone ahead tonight, but emphasised the need to put player safety first.
"The players went out for a warmup and I had three players slipping, one really badly when he couldn't stop," said Hasselbaink.
"The referee was called. I was watching from a distance and he was told that the pitch was really hard and frozen, part of it in one half.
"The referee called me (over), I spoke to a couple of the players and some were not happy with it.
"The referee made the decision not to play because the longer the game would go on, the more the frozen parts would get dangerous.
"We have come here to play, prepared to play, set up to play and it wasn't meant to be.
"The most important thing for me is the safety of my players. If it's not safe to play, then you can't play. The club has spent money on a coach and everything to get here.
"We're coming in after a good result, and we're feeling good, so we wanted to come here and play but the conditions have to be right for both teams.
"I don't think the conditions were right and it's unfortunate but we have to do the right things for our players."

I get where you are coming from - but not a good way to make a point.
Regardless I don't think JFH would ever play the race card.
I blame the ref who made an incompetent decision IMHO.
 
Piggybank.

Often seen at the casino table during his career and imo not a particularly nice man. Oh well.
