MATCH THREA " ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Rains stopped, why's no one clearing the standing water. Hmmmmm

The rain has eased and it's up to the Plainmoor ground staffs to 'be professional' and get the pitch cleared...

Interesting to see if Rotherham actually want to see the game continue. What is it about our trips up there...?

'Make squeegees plenty', came the call...

No effort to clear the water bu the ground staff. Not looking good.

It’ll be our luck, this will get called off, and we will lose the replay.

If no effort to clear- then ref give the game to Cardiff.

Be good if that was the case, although I can’t see it.

They've started now and it's clearly working; but they've managed to break one, so is it a ploy...?

Those of us of a certain vintage will tell you we've seen a lot worse than this go ahead and it would make for an interesting second half...

Plainmoor???!!

Rotherhams ground is the New York Stadium - you are thinking of Torquay or The Millers old ground - Millmoor

Yes, I am! Thank you for the correction...!

In other news Huds just took the lead against Millwall.

If we get to continue then its not going to be pretty. I would be inclined to be extremely direct and swap Philogene and Sawyers for Wickham and Ralls or Rinomhota

Just announced referee will hold a 'pitch inspection' at 16:45

Meanwhile, around the Championship....

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I hope our team are at the ref badgering to get the game done

Not much chance of this going ahead, a little more than zero effort being made to clear the pitch.

Be surprised if this continues, staff doing the bare minimum and probably due a coffee break now

The forecast is good and the heavy shower was so isolated they reckon it was bought in Derby...

As GrangeEndStar just said to me, 'We've had 'Snowgate; this coukd be 'Sformgate'

You would think a new ground/pitch would have decent drainage and the referee must have seen some encouragement to leave it 15 minutes rather than saying 'knock it off!'

Fingers crossed and let's get this done...!

The efforts to clear the pitch a simply pathetic with the one guy pulling more water back on to the pitch than he is taking off it!

The referee has been out with the two managers and Bluebird Sabri Lamouchi was the more animated in comparison with his placid counterpart

Balls were thrown around the pitch before the officials retreated to the stand and we await a decision that could go either way right now

LATEST SCORE: ROTHERHAM 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE: MATCH [b]ABANDONED...![/b]

The Rotherham ground staffs should be embarrassed for their lack of real effort in clearing the pitch...!

Rotherham will be happier than us, as the replay will likely be midweek

I feel for the Bluebird supporters who have ultimately made a long, wasted journey...

SCORE AT [b]ABANDONMENT (47 mins): ROTHERHAM 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY[/b]

POSTPONED

'Abandoned' not 'Postponed' - a match can only be postponed if its not kicked off yet

Pity we hadnt played 60 or more mins - the result would have stood

I was listening to the stadium announcer and put up what he said 'live' but I'll use the correct terminology going forward...

Time for the FA to start to ask a few questions here ....
