    Absolutely farcical stuff over there, the stadium has a roof but it was decided by officials to leave it open. Now after it pissing rain all day it looks like it will be called off, it's now raining so much that it's not possible to now close the roof.

    Ridiculous stuff.

    I really don't understand the point of roofed stadiums when they're afraid to close them even a couple of times a year.

    Did the FAI leave some officials in Poland?

    Now that is one thick decision to leave the roof open.

    For what purpose?

    I hate to concur with Keane but his reaction to Chiles and the others guffawing was pretty much spot on.

    That was when it was UEFA's ground though.

    Perhaps the Poles always prefer to play with the roof open when its up to them.

    im over in warsaw at the minute and the weather has been great all week and there was no threat of rain. I was in town this afternoon at 3 and again it was still dry and while there was a bit of cloud cover rolling in i didnt think much of it.

    At about five o'clock local time (4 hours before kick off) it started to spit rain and then within an hour it had become very heavy and there wa a lot of standing water and the rain hasnt relented yet.

    Still, seeing as they have roof it is a farciful situation

    Apparently it's not safe to close it, as the winds are too strong.

    Roofed not closed as both teams have to agree to it and Poland would not do it

    I'm referring to the ref coming out onto the pitch to bounce the ball about, he did it an hour ago, it hasn't stopped raining since, doing it again and expecting a differerent result is what I like to call "fucking retarded".

    But he has to do it. Its a formality that has to be completed. Not his fault.

    The ITV coverage was more painful than usual - Gareth Southgate regarding the game being called off. "This is Sunday league stuff lads". Yes Gareth, loads of Sunday league teams have ~60K stadiums with retractable roofs.
