3-30 Kick Off - What Happened

[stokeycokey]

I parked the car at Heron Cross at 2pm - Radio Stoke Sports had just started and the first thing Acres says is that due to the M6 accident no Blackpool coaches (players or supporters) had arrived at the ground. There was going to be a delay to the kick off and supporters were being kept outside the ground. Some of the match officials had also not arrived. At that stage they could not confirm the new start time.

If I new this at 2 o'clock what time did Tony (never think before you speak) Pulis get the information. In spite of this The Clown still prepares his team for a 3pm kick off.

At quarter past two radio stoke confirm that the Blackpool players have arrived. They also confirm that the Police have informed them that there is at least a 15 min delay to kick-off. Seconds after this they are talking to someone at the Brit when they overhear an announcement to the crowd that the turnstiles are being opened and kick-off will be 3 0'Clock.

Can't you just see Tones brain going into overdrive. "If I can get the match kicked off at 3pm it will really shag Blackpool's preparation". Fuck the fact that we haven't got a ref or that 75% of the Blackpool support is still stuck on the motor way.

Two or three minutes later Radio Stoke confirm that that the match has been delayed by 30 Min's. Clulis brings his players back into the dressing room.

After the match Tone says the delay caused Stoke two injuries. Tone must have been the only guy in ground who couldn't see that it was an absolute certainty that the kick off was going to be delayed.

Have come to the conclusion that certainly over the the last 7 or 8 games we are top of the league in spite of him not because of him.

Come on Tone get your act together - we look like blowing it big style.

We always lamblast Mowbray and Pardew for their feeble excuses.

This time Pulis is the whinger!

Nobody picked up on his other moan about the suspensions - summat about they shouldn't be suspended at this stage of the season!
If they played by the rules, they wouldn't be suspended!

Full credit for being top of the league, but FFS stop moaning (whoops, is that what I'm doing?)
