Arbroath

Not sure who they were playing, I assume Kelty Hearts midweek.
I get the surface was playable, but it was apparently touch and go if it would actually go ahead in the first place.
Now this is my home town club.
The weather was atrocious, if it was v Kelty midweek, and the wind when driving home around when the game would have been playing was horrendous.

But at what point do you say "this game is no contest?".

I heard from neighbours that this actually happened a lot during the game.
You cant expect/force players to play on the ground to compensate the wind.

Great pass to the right back

I suspect the wind being mainly across the pitch influenced the decision. Had that kick blown back to the keeper my guess would be it would be abandoned.

My normal criteria is will the ball stay still for restarts and it appeared to here. But difficult to say what should have been done from one clip.

Was a good game from what I have heard (spoke to next door who is season ticket holder).
And got to conclusion maybe right decision to keep going but just seems, to me, that id be thinking this is not a game of football but an actual lottery with the wind.
