the ref gave the all clear at 1130

he then caved into the pressure

there will never be a definitive answer as to what is playable

if there was, the leyton orient match would certainly not have gone ahead

the way it works is that the ref makes a decision and listens to the managers

i'm guessing the managers in the leyton orient game were happy to see the game played

        Yeah, if ever you wanted a game this season to be called off, today was prob it (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Dec 28, 19:56:57
        
        tricky to call it off at 11am (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 20:27:16
        
        true, but i think in all honesty the pitch probably was playable and it was down to lambo (NCFC) - lmc, Dec 28, 19:59:43
        
        agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 20:12:29
        
        Refs decision - not Lamberts. If it was deemed safe by ref woulda gone ahead (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Dec 28, 20:06:15
        
        it was deemed safe by the ref (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 20:13:21

        alas the world doesn't work like that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 20:25:51
        
        All the more reason to have/make decent money............. (NCFC) - usacanary, Dec 28, 22:55:15
        
        Ref at fault for not being strong enough. Ref at fault. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Dec 28, 20:29:13
        
        lambert at fault for not respecting the ref's decision? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 20:30:22
