That's why my child who had thermal's etc on, said "dad my hands stung when i put them in the shower!!!" This u dick, equals hypothermia and today's conditions were exceptional and someone needed to make that call due to that FACT!!!
To play in the rain is ok, but conditions associated are significant and should be considered!!!!
Sorry, thats rubbish in my opinion.
Firstly, stiinging hands in the shower is called chillblains, not hypothermia, nowhere nearly the same thing.
What do you think they do in Russiia when the weathers a bit cold, moan about hypothermia or put on gloves and thermal leggings? I mean, it wasnt even below freezing today, I tell you I have played in some pretty cold (but playable) conditions in my time in the UK.
Secondly, Capital football job is to get pitches ready and say when they are unfit.
Surely players,coaches and referees have got to take responsibility for individual games - if its that bad, call it off, but dont blame Capital Football.
Having said that, I played this p,m. in conditions that were frankly ridiculous, but as Capital Football hadnt called it off everyone felt they should play. I have never played in the Uk in conditions like that, the pitch was like Southport Sands at high tide. You couldnt pass the ball at all, and that WAS totally stupid.
