Decisions in nobody’s interest

The rain continued to fall, the puddles started to join together to form a lake. Running with the ball became impossible (as the above picture from the awe-inspiring James Boyes shows), passing the ball became a lottery and trying to make any timely tackles was a recipe for disaster. Whilst it was amusing to watch, the core elements of the game - skill, passing, movement - become secondary to trying to predict how the ball would move. We had chances to win it, so did our opponents.
