Cardiff City Post Match Thoughts

[BramleyMiller58]

I was seeing a glimpse of Tuesday night but we made an early sub and I thought that’s a start then get subbing at HT to get that win but god had seen enough

Needed a fleet of Sub's after half time

Up Periscope !

Awarding corners would have been fun.

All of the ball over all of the line !

Good luck on that one then - & the bellends that are saying Cardiff should only play 42 minutes in the rearranged game.

There's a 56 second clip from Sky TV doing the rounds.
Shows how much water was on the pitch and around the perimeter.
Also shows when the referee came out with both managers & he threw the ball up into the air - when the ball landed no bounce at all.
Not a chance the pitch was playable after that deluge in a short space of time.

Not doubt Cardiff wanted to finish the game - 1-0 up & us underperforming once again.

We’d have wanted the same as Cardiff for it to carry on but there was far too much risk of injury for both players and officials on the sidelines, the Ref and after consulting the EFL, common sense prevailed he called it off.

Well, the Cardiff manager seemed to be happy with drowning his players

Cardiff fans on Twitter calling for Rotherham to be deducted points.

If the roles were reversed,of course we would be really p**sed off but I'd like to think that I'd take the rational viewpoint that sometimes in life,things just don't go your way rather than blame a football club for the weather! The referee called the game off so why not blame him if they have to have someone to blame. The referee must have followed protocols etc and taken advice throughout the 40 odd minutes or so. The use of the sprinklers at half time would have had no effect at all.They give the pitch 'a misting' not a drenching.

The white line marking was destroyed too. Can’t reinstate that in soggy conditions

Looks like the last Tuesday in April or first Tuesday in May are the realistic dates to reschedule
Ben Wiles could be back by then

In the 70s and 80s there wouldn't even have been a pitch inspection and play would have continued. Bloody snowflake generation 😀

Absolutely

I’m sure if we carried on and won then they would’ve been saying we cheated by not abandoning the game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if EFL give us a fine or something due to fans chanting, they like many others don’t do humour
The lad (groundsman) was trying to spread the water about to try and drain it quicker which he was doing by spreading a small amount back on pitch but obviously some don’t see it like that
