If we used the "farcical" reasoning I'd be abandoning 50% of my games...Too windy imo and in opinion past down thro the eras and ranks is, when you consider the game to be farcical
subject to any safety considerations, structural etc
When is it too windy?
Agree with Justy. In my coaching days, many of the players on my u10 team were actually crying because of the cold and they couldn't feel their fingers. Their health was at risk and the referee continued to play. I was not impressed.
An interesting one maybe that's has cropped up recently for me is playing on a pitch that is not dangerous, but due to the heavy rain its cutting up really bad. I told the groundsman during half time of the second of three games I was ref'ing on it that it was getting destroyed. I told him as it was not actually dangerous, I wouldn't make a call myself but if the home team wanted and the away team agreed, we would not play the third match.
The third match went ahead and the pitch is now in terrible condition with no chance of improvement until March.
Did a contrib game in London and as we did the pitch inspection the roof of the stand came down onto the pitch about twenty yards away.
I have also had driving rain and gale force winds from end to end. The ball wouldn't stay on the pitch and one team couldn't see because it hurt when you opened your eyes
The first one never started. The second one was abandoned. On both occasions there was total agreement with the decision because the first was dangerous and the second really wasn't enjoyable. Neither team could score because the ball was never on the pitch for more than a few seconds. There was also a lot of stuff being blown across the pitch. As soon as I blew there was an almost universal cry of "thank f**k for that!" followed by players running for the dressing rooms.
if your games are still on.
