...and I hope it's his f**king last! What a waste of a day.... to call it off at such short notice (I was 3 minutes from the ground) is not only disgraceful after Boring Wood had said 'no concerns' it also shows huge lack of respect to those United fans who had travelled from far and wide.
Well, whenever this game is re-arranged for I can guarantee that Boring F**king Wood can count on two less United fans making the trip.
To the referee (sic) who called this off, I hope you sleep well tonight knowing that you've ruined the day of many....and no, not just the Yellow Army...the caterers, the programme compilers etc etc
To be fair, from what I can tell it's not his fault at all. If Boreham Wood said their pitch is fine, he's got there at the normal time, taken a look at the pitch and made the only decision he could make. If he keeps the game on and a player turns an ankle, he's probably liable somehow.
Given that clubs have to pay travel expenses if the game is called off late, it sounds like the responsibility is on clubs to require a pitch inspection, not refs.
