That was a let off. First of all the ref was completely right to start the game and then again completely right to call it off when he did. The pitch was very wet as the game started but playable but as it down poured throughout the first half and was visibly far far worse after half time, you couldn't play football on that. Credit to the club as well for announcing that the rearranged fixture will be free to all fans (not sure how that benefits the season ticket holders though).
We got away with it today because
(a) Les picked the wrong team today
(b) we were crap
Robinson was worryingly bad in the first half and capped it off with the worst penalty Ive seen for some time (is that the last three we have missed?). I wasn't sure it was a game for Dale today anyway given the state of the pitch but the decision to bring him on and put him in the left was ridiculous.
Anyway it's all academic now. Just relieved we haven't lost.
