Felt for the two lads with the water rollers, if there ever was a pointless job, they had it tonight . Yeah..... they looked sad figures in front of the Lower Young's, well done to them anyway. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Parked in Barnett Place, wasn't so bad on the walk before KO, afterwards we got soaked. Pretty sure there's a swimming pool in the car. I thought we started pretty well, not sure what happened with their goal, looked like someone didn't pick Keogh up. Still, we get another go. Was a bit surprised to see Bogle hanging around behind the Pontoon..

On the Derby forum, somebody has mentioned that some teams would allow the side who were winning the first game, to walk the ball into the net. Something no doubt that would not have been mentioned, if we had scored the goal. One of them said it was because our pitch was so s--t it couldn't soak up a bit of water, when in fact it was stunningly beautiful at the kick off, considering all the rain. And it didn't cut up too. Supporting Town for 65 years.

My only gripe was that it didn't look to be a corner!

Table Wine Drinker Posts: 849 Posts Per Day: 0.14 Reputation: 80.9% Rep Score: +9 / -2 Approval: +865 Gold Stars: 5	Quoted from ginnywings Just remembered the Derby pitch of the seventies which was a complete mudbath for most of the season. Should the game have even started tonight? For me, no. I parked up in Harrington Street at around 6.25 and the rain was torrential then. The weather forecast suggested that the rain would continue in that way throughout the game, on top of the rain that had already fallen during the day. I couldn't see any way that the game would finish and, in that context, common sense should take over and mean you don't actually start it. That said, having seen the state of just one or two of the roads on the way out of town, I just hope any flood damage is not too severe.
