formerly known as ivan Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Losing 1-0 in a relegation 6 pointer vs Cardiff, match is called off 5 mins into the second half. Top work this from the groundsman at half time… 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Red Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Shows some half arsed work experience kid mostly pushing some water off the pitch and then disinterestedly pushing some of the same water back on to the pitch before proceeding to revert to stage 1. No conspiracy theory, just pure human incompetency 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 What probably also doesn’t help is that the sprinklers were also on at half time. Great shithousery. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Whether intentional or not it doesn’t look good does it. as it’s Cardiff it’s hilarious but if it were us in their shoes some of ours would be going spare I reckon. not sure it made much difference either way in the end though as the pitch looked beyond help.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Disgraceful behaviour and totally unprofessional- anyone on OTIB who even for one second thinks that the Rotherham groundsmen were doing anything other than a brilliant job are a disgrace. It's Cardiff FFS. I'd be buying bottled water by the gallon and spraying it on the pitch unless the score was in Rotherham's favour. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 In Spain when it is re-arranged they restart any abandoned match at the same score & just play the time that’s remaining. Anyone who paid for the first game also gets in for free. Always thought that was the fairest solution & even though I’d always want Cardiff to lose, that makes a lot of sense to me. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's a little bit like that geezer trying to stick his thumb in the Dyke , stop laughing at the back, There was nowhere for the water to go and sweeping it off was pointless and judging by the body language says that. It looks really bad, but made absolutely no difference. There were no drains at the side of the pitch you could push the water. I wouldn't be surprised to hear Cardiff had put a complaint in but I don't think it will go anywhere. 12 minutes ago, GrahamC said: In Spain when it is re-arranged they restart any abandoned match at the same score & just play the time that’s remaining.

Kodjias Wrist Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 This is flat out cheating regardless of whether its Cardiff. The videos and pictures Ive seen are a disgrace if it was 1 0 rotherham they would have made a much better effort to clear it. Sprinklers were also on at half time apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I remember our game at home to Notts County about 20 years ago was abandoned just after half time. 1-0 down at the time. We then won the replayed fixture Can only hope for more of the same Edited March 18, 2023 by David Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat half way up the Atyeo and was absolutely drenched right through, everyone around me was amazed the game started, let alone got to half time! We didn't have the sprinklers on at half time and have people bringing the water back onto the pitch after "clearing" it. Must have really annoyed County fans though to be fair, didn't we win the rearranged game 2/3-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
