Tom, no hard feelings. You're quite right if we were up I'd have wanted it to continue. That's the way the cookie crumbles. <br /><br />Funnily enough, I watched Lyon v Rheims last night on the box. A downpour in the last 15 mins of the first half turned their pitch into a similar condition. The ref extended half time and with the rain having stopped (unlike at The Valley) and a break of over half an hour they managed to complete the game (much to Lyon's disgust as they lost 0-1).Burgundy Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203516889598003723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-50178345553463033482013-08-25T07:17:13.926+01:002013-08-25T07:17:13.926+01:00Tom - tough luck son - you will get another crack ...Tom - tough luck son - you will get another crack when hopefully it's dry. BA's been reasonably charitable by saying the first three goals were not water-affected. Not sure the players would all agree. The pitch was unplayable in large places after the stoppage. We appeared to avoid our left flank because it had become a paddy field.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-51704234884741623412013-08-24T21:01:01.302+01:002013-08-24T21:01:01.302+01:00 I had to come on here and read your drivel, as to... I had to come on here and read your drivel, as to how you would justify todays injustice.<br /><br />One can easily imagine the tone of your prose if Charlton were 3 to 1 in front and someone suggested calling the game off because of a water logged pitch. You would have defended your corner with your life. Even if waves rippled across the pitch you would have insisted on the game being played out.<br /><br />Tom.<br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
