Run out of time being the fundamental point

given their means to thaw the pitch, by the time that had cleared it it would have been too late either past kick off or beginning to freeze again!

- Most wished they had not bothered trying when it clearly wouldnt help (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:22:39
  - why clearly? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:23:52
    - It was freezing and foggy at 12pm today (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:27:49
      - the point was trying to thaw the frozen patches (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:34:56

        how could it refreeze when they didn't thaw it (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:45:22
        
        Clearly what had defrosted would refreeze (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:47:49
        
        yes they ran out of time (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:50:06
        
        if the whole pitch was frozen then fine (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:47:40
        
        so the weather is relevant when the whole pitch is frozen (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Dec 28, 16:50:44
        
        i said the whole pitch being frozen would be pointless trying lol (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 17:02:40
        
        and this (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:49:01
        
        Run out of time being the fundamental point (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:53:40
        
        if it was going to refreeze they wouldn't have bothered trying (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:56:26
        
        TRYING which in theory they should have stopped doing at aroudn 12pm (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:38:21
        
        no (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:38:38
        
        Yes (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:40:42
        
        the fans who had set off would have moaned they didn't try hard enough (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:39:56
        
        As I said (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:41:57
        
        and they still thawed some bits (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:45:59
        
        and not others, your point? (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Dec 28, 16:48:03
        
        they ran out of time (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:50:29
        
        i reckon if the weather hadn't stayed so cold during today it might've helped them (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Dec 28, 17:07:15
        
        well yeah if it had been 20 degrees it would have thawed by itself (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 17:09:15
- 'trying' (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:20:47
  - Point is the game didn't go ahead so it wasn't a 'great job' (NCFC) - King, Dec 28, 16:28:42
    - i do (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 16:32:46
