List of sporting fixtures that have been postponed this weekend

Fella.

@caoimhaoin

One was a case of a game called off too late.

You’re some dope.

You don’t appear to understand that sporting organisations cannot predict the weather and late postponements are often necessary. I won’t bother explaining this bit to you.

You also don’t appear to give a fuck about the safety of players by demanding they play in unsafe conditions.

@caoimhaoin

The other is a whole weekend of games called off too soon in a reaction to other sports doing same.

Again:

@caoimhaoin

Make a decision and go with it.

So two weeks ago, it was a case of “make a decision and go with it”, “they had warning this was coming with a week”, ie. you think it would have been sensible to postpone a game a week in advance when there was a good chance pitches might have been playable.

Now your view is that “they should have waited until the last minute” to decide whether or not to play matches in utterly dangerous and unplayable conditions, which were actually well flagged by the Met Office a week in advance and had been obvious to the human eye all over the country since Wednesday.

@caoimhaoin

Now one may have been influence ton in the other. But they are not the same thing.

This is very logical and simple.

The country is covered in snow and has been for three days (there’s still a foot of it where I am) there was a code red weather warning for 41 hours up to 9am this morning, and you think
i) it’s the opposite of logical and simple to make an early decision to postpone sporting fixtures in such conditions and
ii) the calling off of sporting fixtures is the result of some sort of weird conspiracy among different sporting organisations.

Again, stupidity doesn’t begin to explain all this.

You’re a paranoid fantasist.

I’d wager you genuinely believe “health and safety” is some sort of communist conspiracy to advance a “PC agenda”, whatever that is.
