Just when you thought it was safe to go back onto the football pitch
Bloody snow. Much like Eczema, you think it's gone then suddenly it turns up again. I tuned in to Ebbsfleet - Burton last night in the hope of catching a glimpse of an orange ball (see my earlier post), and was amused to see that the ref had started the game with a white ball, which was barely visible on the increasingly snow-covered playing surface. Genius.
Although it (the snow) appears to be thawing fast, Ian Darler was on Histon FM this morning speaking in a fairly downbeat terms about the likelihood that tomorrows game with Mansfield will go ahead, and indeed a pitch inspection has been scheduled for 4.15pm this afternoon, so it's sounding ominous. Hopefully we will play another match at some point, I'm beginning to forget what some of our players look like.
If the game does happen, United will be looking for another three points to keep up the pressure on Roy Macfarlands Burton Albion, who will be within a mere 18 points of the Mighty U's should we win tomorrow. "Even though it looks like a foregone conclusion with Burton, we're not giving up," a defiant Brabinator told this mornings Evening News, evoking memories of similarly deluded blabber from JQ at this time last season.
"It would be silly to think there's an over-realistic chance of doing it, but that's what we've got to aim for," he added, before getting in an early contender for the Stating the bleedin' Obvious Award 2009 (sponsored by Alan Shearer); "We just need to win as many games as we can and see where that takes us at the end of the season." A radical new direction for a football team to take, I'm sure you'll agree.
