    At home to Tayside Agricultural College

    Postponed. A tad stormy I believe.

    Further evidence:

    - The whole Highland League wiped out.

    - My three bins wedged against Steve Next Door’s jeep thing.

    “Armageddon”, we were warned. This may be it.

    Breezy in Aberdeen (force 7, gusting to 9), windy in Shetland (force 9, gusting to 11) - my house is shaking and a ball in the air would end up in Orkney!

    Bloody freezing but the wind is extraordinarily bad. Roof next door flying around. Bins and garden furniture doing a dance in the garden. Right decision to put game off. Any high ball would end up near Norway.

    Keep it on the ground then.

    It's nae bloody University Strollers they're playing.

    It could get a tad breezy at Hillhead.

    But not enough. Re the play it on the ground, you must have missed the bit above about "bins and garden furniture dancing in the garden".

    I've never seen a good game with wind as bad as this.

    It wasn’t a great game, but we beat the tims 2-0 at Pittodrie in 1977 in affa conditions. The wind was so strong that the reserve team strip that Teddy had washed and hung out to dry after a midweek game blew into the sea, and Dick Donald borrowed a rowing boat to try to retrieve it. Bumper and Joe scored, one in each half. We were sand-blasted in the Beach End that day. Pints were later taken, if only to get the sand out of our throats. Maybe we didn’t need all seven of them though.

    I was out walking near Pittodrie this morning. Not a ghoster you could play football in that. You couldn’t even walk in some places for getting blown backwards.
    As much as I think fitba should always be played, today would have been a nonsense.
