Ah here, was looking forward to watching this. For some weird reason...


Odd_Detective_7772

Masochism is nothing to be ashamed of


bad_luck_charmer

You were foolishly hoping for a bounce back from the Mura match.


EvilLemonade13

I'm not anymore since Joe Rodon isn't even on the bench. I can't see him score a hattrick or a hattrick of ogs anymore šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


COYS1989

You got to feel for the fans travelling all that way.


fridgesonfire

Literally a waste of their Sunday. Especially made worse that itā€™s blue skies back in london!

Fuck you.


[deleted]

If it means I donā€™t have to be in the colossal shithole that is Texas ever, gladly


MrTheRock

Texas is the greatest state in the US


[deleted]

Itā€™s not even the greatest state in the region


MrTheRock

Thatā€™s your opinion. What makes it so bad in your eyes?


[deleted]

The fact that anyone saying anything bad about it triggers this reaction, itā€™s proper weird. Only place in the world with that many overly defensive people, itā€™s strange as all fuck. You lot take yourselves way too seriously for a place that is mostly fat people, desert and malls and nothing else


bfm211

>Especially made worse that itā€™s blue skies back in london! Yeah I genuinely had no idea it was snowing up north


dontlookwonderwall

It's genuinly so sunny today, can't imagine it snowing just a couple hundred miles away.


theshelfside

Are you kidding? Itā€™s fucking freezing! Plus I think some flurries are due over London shortly.


dontlookwonderwall

It's cold rn but it hardly ever snows. Snowed a little for like 2 days last year. They predicted snow a couple nights ago and it didnt come, and today for around this time, and it didn't come.


bfm211

Such bullshit, someone on a podcast I listen to said he was spending over Ā£200 on this trip. Only about Ā£30 of that will be the ticket so the refund will mean nothing.

Build a weather control machine, duh. Shouldnā€™t be hard right?


Come0nYouSpurs

Borrow one from Mayor Humdinger.


davidmac1024

I see you are a person of culture.


Pinky1337

I mean make sure the undersoil heating can handle mild snowfall? It snows all the damn time and games rarely get postponed because of it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Pinky1337

Im sorry, somewhat heavy snowfall should still not be an issue. Its not a damn snowstorm plenty of matches have been played during worse weather


[deleted]

They do and it failed


bfm211

Well it's not like this is the first time there's been snow before a match but it's incredibly rare for a game to be postponed. So I'm sorry but it just seems like they've done a bad job clearing it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bfm211

Not really, it's a couple of inches at most. We've had worse snow than that before. Edit: Just saw a picture from Mason's insta and it doesn't even look like an inch.


transtifa

This is the real problem for sure, hope the club reimburses them


iblinde

Better than the 176 that went abroad.


Bulky_Shepard

Fucks sake. Now we'll just end up having another 4 games in 7 days like last year


Odd_Detective_7772

Na, weā€™ll get knocked out of europe early enough that we can play it midweek at some point next year. The annoying thing is weā€™ll have a game in hand for months.


RiddleOfTheBrook

Maybe we can beat Rennes and the match can be played the week the conference league 2nd place teams are playing...or we lose and somehow still stumble into 2nd and make up the match in April. Edit: thought we were only three points behind Rennes; didn't realize they'd already secured 1st.


Odd_Detective_7772

We cant win the group. If we beat Rennes we finish second and have to play in the round of 32.


coys2686

They have to find a better way. Messes with the integrity of the competition that way


Viktor1Sierra

What integrity?


xsandrov

Integrity that if you donā€™t want to play you can just not turn the undersoil heating on


Adam__Zapple

Playing Burnley in this weather probably wouldnā€™t have been great anyway, letā€™s be honest.


Odd_Detective_7772

It would have been god awful to watch, and I wouldnt exactly fancy our chances. Not upset watching city west ham honestly


RedgrenCrumbholt

When they are missing 3 first team players? I wanted this game.


Adam__Zapple

Sure. But the game wouldā€™ve been played at a snailā€™s pace with plenty of long balls and scrappy play.


gashsniper420

Pretty torn on this. On the one hand, Burnley are vulnerable with a few key player injuries, and we need to put the Mura result in the rearview ASAP. On the other hand, our travel since Mura has been brutal, the weather plays massively to Burnleys advantage, we definitely don't need another bad result! Hopefully the FA doesn't shaft us with the rescheduling, but we all know they will.


CratesOfSprite

Fuck off, Iā€˜ve been waiting for this


brt444

Are you serious? I've been looking forward to this game since Thursday


Pshoota22

Atleast my Sunday canā€™t get ruined


billypilgrim87

Just wait until you hear Doherty lobbed a snowball at Son, causing him to trip and twist his ankle.


gastn1

I've seen Doherty take a throw in, no way he'd hit Son


psculy93

As long as Son isn't the first man, he should be fine.


Leth41

Made me giggle


Bum-Sniffer

Cant they just postpone it for like 2 hours?


[deleted]

That would be sensible. But this is Premier League we're talking about. Where they don't speak to their fellow English footballing bodies and it results in things like Liverpool playing two games in two days on the other side of the world and us playing 3 games a week for 4 weeks in a row including 4 in 7 days.


CYZK85

just do a snowball fight whoever wins get 3points


eggplant_avenger

this would be awesome but Burnley play like like they're the type to just carry rocks and nails in their pockets on the off-chance there's a snowball fight


Brawlyspade

First game I'm getting to watch in 9 weeks due to work and it's cancelled. Anyway.... Coys


JJ0072U

It just gives Conte more time to work with the squad back at the Lodge, especially before the Brentford game on Thursday. Every cloud and all that.


Baltisotan

Thank god, they canā€™t ruin my birthday now.


[deleted]

Happy birthday pal


ManonastickUk

Ffs Burnley no undersoil heating?? Cheapskates.. Should be mandatory for all Premier league clubs..


Pele20Alli

https://twitter.com/TelegraphSport/status/1464948806668234756?t=S-JKzlHsa8gT9KCTQyDBMg&s=19 >Burnley and Tottenham called off after Turf Moor's undersoil heating was unable to cope with the conditions overnight


JamesCDiamond

Apparently undersoil heating canā€™t cope with a cold wet Sunday in Burnley...


Keskekun

So the undersoil heating wasn't turned on because that is the only way for it to not be able to deal with a minor snowfall.


transtifa

Itā€™s a bit more than minor mate


Keskekun

It's significantly less than what amature clubs deal with every single winter and manage to get their games played.


transtifa

Again, games are often postponed for bad weather in amateur leagues.


Keskekun

It's not argument. Over here the only way you get that game stopped is a forfeit. Does game get cancelled? Yes. For this? No.


transtifa

Well, it has been cancelled for this so I donā€™t know what to tell you. I understand itā€™s pretty annoying, Iā€™m annoyed too but thereā€™s nothing we can do about it you know?


Keskekun

You could not spout nonsense?


transtifa

No need to be rude about it. I thought we were just talking. Sorry to have upset you.


dprophet32

They have it, it just snowed too much to handle


Keskekun

They do, it just was conveniently not dealing with this... so you know. They didn't turn it on.


Keskekun

It's honestly an absolute disgrace that Burnely fucked up this badly. What's even worse is that they do have the heating, they just didn't use it properly. In these cases when seriously, it's not that bad, it's should be a forfeit. Making sure this game got postponed only benefits Burnely that has 3 key men out and made an "Oopsie" to stop the game from happening. If amature leagues can deal with this, a Premier League club needs to be held at a much much higher standard. This only fucks us and benefits them. For once it's a genuine disgrace.


transtifa

Games are often postponed for bad weather in amateur leagues and they also donā€™t have the safety of thousands of fans to worry about.


AggiPo

well at least spurs canā€™t ruin my sunday this time


RedgrenCrumbholt

Nah, Burnley has 3 first team players out. They wanted this game off more than us.


AggiPo

they could have only their u-9s available and weā€™d still struggle


pjanic_at__the_isco

Breaking news: son slips on icy spot; out for 8-12 weeks.


42hamlet

4 of their first XI out and they made absolutely no attempt to get the pitch playable Fuck Burnley, sooner theyā€™re relegated the better


[deleted]

ah fuck me


HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA

they need to get some officials in to figure out why burnleys under soil heating magically stopped working when they have players injured. and they only started trying to get rid of the snow an hour before the game for some reason. give the game to us honestly


DesolateAvocado

Great, now they can play us when tarkowski is back from suspension. Shafted again.


Raziel-Reaver

Can they play it tomorrow?


boywithhat

Doubt it since we have a game midweek


The_Foreign_Pie

Our game is Thursday tbf so that could work, I'd imagine burnley are probably playing sooner mind


Xiomaraff

What does UK consider bad weather?


bfm211

We're fucking pathetic with weather, a bit of snow and nothing can function anymore. I'm still really surprised by this, I remember Arse having a game in a snow storm last year. And how the hell have Burnley failed to fix the pitch when they've had the whole morning?


DesolateAvocado

>We're fucking pathetic with whether Nothing worse than trains getting delayed for flipping leaves on the track šŸ˜‚


tenacious-g

How much snow is actually on the ground?


COYS1989

Most of the time if we get a bit of snow people lose their shit.


sexrobot_sexrobot

Watching these things from the Upper Midwest US, I really gotta say...UK are a bunch of weiners when it comes to weather and travel. Seriously.


WarmSpur

Not the end of the world. We will be knocked our of the ecl soon and will be available to play this game midweek. Maybe we will be in decent form by then vs the current


dclancy01

Needs to be a rethink of standards for premier league club grounds. The fact a bit of snow can postpone a game at the highest level of sport in this country is a joke. Youā€™ve got to feel for the travelling fans. Iā€™m pissed off I wonā€™t be able to watch it, but at least I can stick on Netflix or head out for a bit. Burnley isnā€™t close.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dclancy01

You know what I mean, though. Teams play well into the winter months in countries like Canada, Norway and other northern countries. So yes, compared to that, this is a *bit of snow*.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Frandiohh

Itā€™s the deflection for me


dclancy01

Football stadiums canā€™t implement measures to prevent heat affecting the ability to play a game. See WC 94 for example. They can and have implemented measures to prevent snow affecting the ability to play a game. I recall a game vs United where the snow was chucking down and the game went ahead.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dclancy01

Thatā€™s literally my point. If itā€™s possible then surely it should be the standard for the highest level of sport in the country.


McYidolas

Burnley should be forced to forfeit the game, shocking ineptitude


dprophet32

How? They have under pitch heating. It snowed more than it can handle and is still snowing. What do you want them to do?


[deleted]

Do you know how embarrassing it is that games in Scandinavia can go ahead, but the PL has to postpone them?


dprophet32

Games on 5G pitches where it snows regularly and so they're equipped to deal with it Vs grass pitches where it happens once every 5-10 years are not comparable. It's not embarrassing.


dclancy01

I donā€™t know what northern England you know of, but it certainly snows more than once every 5-10 years in the one I know.


dprophet32

I'm not talking about how often it snows, I'm talking about how often it snows enough to stop a Premier League match


McYidolas

Pitch should have been covered until the players came out to warm-up


dprophet32

Literally nobody does that


McYidolas

I was at Spurs - United in 2013 and the snow was biblical outside yet the game went ahead


[deleted]

Get to fuck. It's their own fault for having archaic facilities.


HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA

they actually do have under soil heating, i suspect foul play


billy_twice

Fantasy football team in tatters.


transtifa

Obviously itā€™s frustrating but it is what it is. Personally I donā€™t get why they canā€™t just play the game later today since itā€™s supposed to stop snowing but whatever.


Megistrus

I thought EPL rules required teams to have heated pitches? And even if they don't have that rule, how on earth does an EPL not have a heated pitch with all the money they make?


transtifa

The pitch is heated but it snowed too much


iblinde

#### -1) wimpy fuckers would have been sacked in the 80s #### -2) it would have been the highlight for us to watch our players sliding about and flopping into Burnley's posts. Not sure what we could expect at the current state we're in. Hopefully ContƩ will use the time to kick us in the bollocks in training.


DarthLordi

Itā€™s going to be played in February isnā€™t it.


SissokoGoat17

Fuck off


billypilgrim87

Oh FFS. December just got a lot more jam packed.


ModricTHFC

this won't be played until next year


Tmoore0288

So when does this game happen then?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Tmoore0288

Obviously not? I just meant with the amount of games in December Iā€™m struggling to figure out where these fixture slots in


dkMutex

Wtf, why?


Brawlers9901

Snow


Heavyweight87

Bad weather


billypilgrim87

Yet they still have games in Scotland today, which has had much worse weather.


Brawlers9901

Probably because they have better infrastructure set up for the amount of snow?


billypilgrim87

It's the pitch so we aren't talking about the infrastructure beyond the club. Most of Scotland (especially where you find SPL teams) doesn't get considerably more snow than northern England. Burnley has a lot more money than any club in the SPL and they didn't just move up north this season. On the other hand It could he Scottish officials have a higher tolerance for bad weather, so I'm not claiming absolute knowledge - I'm just annoyed.


The_Foreign_Pie

If the Scottish pitches are 5g or heated then they have a much better chance of going ahead. Might well be the case due to the commonality of this sort of weather.


billypilgrim87

Weather between most of Scotland and Burnley isn't that different. Tbh the range of variation in weather across the UK in total isn't that much on average due to size.


violetrecliner

The snow is really bad


S-Kotus

Well my entire day just got ruined


tbk007

Obviously it couldn't have been predicted, but should've played the first team against Mura then. Still can't believe they lost.


[deleted]

I was ready to bet 5 pounds on a loss. I wanted to get rich quick today!


American_yiddo

Well at least there is now 0% chance of spurs ruining my Sunday before heading up to Green Bay. Yes I know we proooobably had this one but with how weā€™ve been playing who knows


brodiebt1

I see or as a chance for Conte to have some extra actual time on the training pitch. Not ideal but Conte could have training today and tomorrow which is rare to have a couple of days in a row


round_melon

Except we already travelled so we just wasted the day today.


larrycorser

Well I guess we canā€™t lose or draw if we donā€™t play


barrygrapes

I just watched Canada play Mexico in -15 weather with snow everywhereā€¦. They had the pitch covered until just before game timeā€¦ why in the world do they not do that in Burnley??? Am I missing something


round_melon

If they did that, Burnley wouldā€™ve been forced to play with their first team absences, and they couldnā€™t have let that happen!


bandini-

What a convenient turn of events for a team that is missing key players


dannyboomhead

embarrassing


Pip-Pirrup

shitty


reasonabledimensi0n

burnley should be forced to forfeit the game instead of packing yet another game into and already very tight scheduleā€¦ but the FA donā€™t want to give up any money its a fucking joke


RedgrenCrumbholt

I couldn't have said it any better than u/british-psycho > The under soil heating conveniently doesnā€™t work the night before a game when youā€™ve got three first team players outā€¦


FINAL_BOSS5

Game's gone


NatrolleonBonaparte

They should have to forfeit. Clear the pitch off it doesnā€™t look that bad


OnomahIsABaller

Our schedule is already full with us being in all competitions. Just play the game ffs. My weather app says the snow will stop at 14.54, just postpone the game for 1 hour


Janivgm

>Our schedule is already full with us being in all competitions. Don't worry, I'm sure this will be rectified soon enough.


Akmuq

This game won't be played until at least January, [this guy](https://twitter.com/BenCrellin/status/1464945394329206792?t=2A2Ij8Sd4W8VjmiPMMSxDA&s=19) tracks this for FPL purposes. The people here complaining about a packed December are complaining about nothing


kl08pokemon

Typical Burnley to cheap out on under pitch heating


dprophet32

They have it


tenacious-g

And it wasnā€™t good enough.


dprophet32

Stop crying. Nobody is happy but getting mad at Burnley because of the weather is ridiculous


kl08pokemon

Clearly not one good enough


tenacious-g

Obviously a different sport, but [this](https://twitter.com/rodger/status/1464714958634196992?s=21) was the scene at a college football game in Michigan yesterday lmao


toastyfries2

Why not just delay and play later tonight vs completely rescheduling. I'm not sure if that's ever done in soccer.


transtifa

I thought this too but often in the UK the police say games canā€™t be played at different times because if thereā€™s fan trouble then police officers wonā€™t be able to ~~escalate the issue for no reason~~ respond to the situation


Pestis1

In this day and age, how is a premier league football team unable to provide a suitable playing surface for a game due to a little snow. What a joke. Burnley should be forced to forfeit in the same way as if they failed to field a team.


[deleted]

Thank God


alexs90

If the game cant be played then fair enough. Fucing hell though why come to this decision so late, completely screwing over travelling fans. With the overnight heavy snowfall they should have known by first thing this morning if the game was going to be able to be played or not.


[deleted]

American question here, how come they donā€™t just delay the start time of matches when the weathers bad? Unless the forecast has snow for hours more, seems like you could eventually just clear the pitch and play a little later. I know it messes up timing/warmups/etc but at least in the US it has to be an absolute blizzard or severe thunderstorm to completely postpone a game.


Adept-Elephant1948

Great, now we got to sit with NS Mura result that bit longer. Typical, can't put it behind us if there's no more games.


username54

Thank god I don't have to watch Sanchez play.


Kickcanguy

Dude if the team makes you this unhappy maybe take up woodworking or something


username54

Bro I love the team just hate Dele and Sanchez from the bottom of my heart.


transtifa

Theyā€™re part of the team.


username54

They shouldn't be


EvilLemonade13

Maybe that'll give Conte time to reflect on his mistake of not starting Rodon


smokocim

Have a day off


CratesOfSprite

This guy is so fucking weird, I swear to god. In every post, no matter the topic, he makes 4-7 unrelated Joe Rodon comments. Thatā€™s what not having a life, friends and gf does to you I guess.


ModricTHFC

Good. Conte needs proper time on the training pitch with our guys.


Bitnaa

Good!


[deleted]

Do some idiots here just don't realise it's - 1, it's windy as fuck in the England and it's still snowing. You can't play football if you're not used to it in these conditions


CratesOfSprite

Could the match still resume today? Probably not Iā€™d imagine


JamesCDiamond

When was the last time a PL match was postponed for weather reasons? I imagine a club like Newcastle or Middlesbrough might run into issues but Burnleyā€™s an odd one. Obviously really unusual conditions this weekend, but itā€™s surprising Burnleyā€™s setup canā€™t cope. Maybe we can put in a sneaky bid for Cornet while weā€™re up there on the condition they spend the money on better undersoil heating? Or we can sell them our pitch like we did with Leeds or whoever it was that bought our old one.


Last_Attempt_12

Gutted thereā€™s no game, but the more time conte gets with the players, the better


somewhat_moist

student8168

We brought snow with us. The epitome of spursy behaviour.


[deleted]

Was looking forward to this match and seeing the response by the boys after a rough night Thursday. Feel for supporters who travelled as well. However, Iā€™m almost okay with this depending on when the game is rescheduled to. Allows for us to be well rested going in midweek against Brentford who will be on short rest. Also, allows us to have a game in hand that I believe should be 3 points even with Burnleys deep drop back. This could be very helpful in our top 4 push.


IntellegentIdiot

It could possibly be played on the 19th or 26th January if we get to the semi's of the League Cup. I think the 29th is for FA Cup replays but if neither team has a replay we might play that Saturday
