yep

you don't know what to believe but the general picture seems to be that the ref didn't look at the pitch between 11.30 and about 14.00.

If he said it was playable at 11.30 (thats according to Walsall officials and not the man himself as far as I can see from the refs comments) and then it was frozen at 14.00, either he didn't check it properly (i.e. every corner of the pitch) the first time or it refroze (seems unlikely when temperature was above freezing).

The other possibility is that Walsall are saying he said it was playable at 11.30 when in fact he was hoping it would be playable if it improved enough. It didn't.

Basically it should have been called off earlier by the ref and Walsall shouldn't be making digs at our manager.

Had enough now. Promise not to post any more (until they release their next statement!)
