Sky TV shows pitch unplayable and correct to call game off.
BUT, 11am?
Did we really have that amount of rain or was it the frozen pitch that prevented to rain that started earlier this morning from draining? How good is underground heating? Should or was the pitch covered in anticipation of the weather conditions?
I don't doubt pitch would have been in a bad state if game been on, not helped by additional games played at Ewood on top of Championship games. However, there's a lot of questions as to why it takes an 11am pitch inspection when most of the Pompey fans are well into there 500 miles return journey. We all have a right to see what was done or not done when most of us knew to postponement risk a few days ago.
Yeah these international breaks kill the game imo. A lot disagree and see them more important than league games. Football is a funny old game.
We've started better than we'd hope for but we won't by doing an "Ipswitch one season stay in the premiership". that said its that hope that we can get close to the playoff on a small budget with a top manager.

Obviously a poor signing.
Played 18 times scoring 5 goals last season sounds good but we all know his true input. A player on his pay should be an asset to the team, he clearly isn't and we'll struggle getting rid of him.
Good to see Samie starts for Republic of Ireland. Remember seeing his expressions at Stanley in pre season friendly. Has a smile on his face now.
Well done Samie.
Don't often see referree David Webb applauded off the pitch but that's happened after he gave Burnley a 94th minute penalty for "hand ball".
At least it keeps Scott Parker in charge.
We're 9th 2 points off playoffs after draws with nobbers and defeats at Plymouth & Coventry. Throw the Stoke game in and we could easily be a lot hgher.
Still, pleased with today's performance.
