Reminded me a little of when England played Poland in Warsaw last year, game was postponed on the night because of rain and played the next day, instead of announcing it immediately and attempting to brush the water off the pitch, it continued raining and the referee kept coming out every 20-30 mins to throw the ball on the pitch to see if it would roll when he probably already knew it wouldn’t. Apparently these games could have been played tomorrow alas giving the pitch time to dry and become more playable, but as you saw both games went ahead but I think the standard suffered a bit because of it.

As an aside though great passion from DiCanio and showed why he will be a real character for the league next season – would have thought he was competing in the Champions League final today – what will he be like when the real action kicks off?
