Shambles in Poland

[MASS1961]

England are meant to be playing Poland tonight but it's pouring with rain and the pitch is waterlogged. The Stadium has a roof and it was kept open and heavy rain was forecast. Probably not going to happen.

[factor-fiction]

I can't see it being played tonight. Even if they start closing the roof now that will take half an hour and then it will take at least an hour to clear the water sufficiently (and that's if any groundsmen can be found as there isn't one to be seen at present)

Watching it now, MASS. Decision at 8:00 UK time. What an absolute farce.

If the Poles wanted a bit of zip in the pitch then they should have closed the roof and watered it. Roy Hodgson has got a face like thunder and I don't blame him.

[MASS1961]

They are saying it can be rescheduled for tomorrow night, some fans will be back home by then! What a waste of money!

[Mick-Talbot]

Exactly, MASS ...plus...... I was going to wash my hair tomorrow.

[joggerjayne]

Well you could watch the final of Great British Bake Off instead ?

[MASS1961]

Switched over to watch the Scotland game, not raining in Belgium!

[FredPuli43]

They've just announced that the roof,intended to keep the rain off, can't be closed because it's raining !

[MASS1961]

Apparently they can't close the roof now because...................it's raining too hard!

[MASS1961]

Sorry Fred !!

[bibblebub]

the polish spokesperson's statement has made it even more risible

[deggers316]

the polish women said they knew it was going to rain but not a downpour
crap satellite tech gives all this information
what a polish cock up

[bibblebub]

and they have heating to dry the pitch but can't turn that on while the roof is open

[deggers316]

and they cant shut the roof cos its raining lol lol

[pugthedog]

and what's worse than the rain adrian child's comentary how boring is he

[Duncer]

Poor old Mr Potato Head?

[joeluke]

Loved the ref's technical ball test

[Duncer]

Why did his balls need tested?

[Arksided]

it's what we've known for years about FIFA and the way they run things, a total Joke. Sepp bladder has being laughable for years now. as for the weather well Ulrika Johnsons availble.

[deggers316]

like the girl said they have a under pitch heating system which if the roof is closed will dry the pitch out in 30 mins lol..how many power stations will need to come on line for that to take place

[joeluke]

Duncer.....ref strode onto pitch and threw ball around several times to check how it rolled

Predictably it rolled like a medicine ball on the sodden turf
