    Whats with all the players slipping the whole time?

    The English players complain that the ground is too hard and and they cant pass the ball as quick as they would like.

    Surely they know what types of boots they should be wearing?

    all i can think of is that because the ground is so hard they are watering teh pitches before games but its not softing the ground just making the grass wet and slippery hence players slipping on the surface!

    plus if the ground is that hard then the players are wearing mouldies they wont have much grip anyway cos the studs wont go into the ground!

    I think Robinson yesterday said they were watering the pitch enough and the ball is slowing down as a result.

    If you wear mouldies in soft ground then yeah I think you'd be slipping all over the place but on a hard pitch that has been watered I think you should be ok
