I don't know how old are but I'm 61 and I can assure you that in my prime I would have found that 'hail shower' absolute fun and equal to both sides; so stop talking in such melodratripic ways.

By the way, I made that word up

Precisley. I got caught in a thunderstorm on Bushbury Hill in
Wolverhampton. The side of my face was red raw from the hail.

Only once got caught in such an event and it lasted about as long. Llandudno paid a price though as the water pumps were out. (Or something, I forget.)

stop talking in such melowdrastric ways.

You ain't weatherlawyer. But even he enjoyed it for a certain qualification of enjoyed.

Mr Jenkins, I am 57, but what difference does age make to the intensity of a hailstorm? In what way am I being melodramatic, which is what I assume you meant?
Your remark was crass in the extreme.
I have had my face cut by hail when caught in the open, I was about 26 at the time and in my prime and I can assure you it was far from fun.

Mr Mitchell perhaps I over do it but footballers have far more potential injuries to worry about than a hail shower. how far do we take it though?

Stop playing because puddles have formed and someone might drown. I'm sure the ref had a forecast from UKMO and risk assessed the game beforehand.

You see Mr Mitchell we live in a state of fear where everything is an exaggerated danger. Now there is far more serious potential danger of being stabbed walking through places like Lewisham and Peckham at night so maybe the police should bring everyone of the pitch...oops streets.

Anyhow if the match had been refereed by Mark Hailsey instead of Mark Clatteredberg then no doubt it would have continued.

Always the same crappy and far right-wing agenda driven criticism of the MetO. No-one is convinced by it.

I'm sure that if you tripped over a paving stone outside your house and broke your arm, your first call on return from the hospital would be to a personal injury helpline.

I thought we had an agreement?

We live in a blame culture and its all the fault of people like you!!!!!!!!

Stop playing because puddles have formed and someone might
drown. I'm sure the ref had a forecast from UKMO and risk
assessed the game beforehand.

But the ref said that he suspended play because the hail was so bad that
he couldn't see all of the players. So it seems that his decision had
nothing to do with H&S.

Precisely. However it was still an over reaction and we all know that these things don't last that long however the journey home does.
