well you have to say if it was other way round, we wouldn't be happy. Wonder how many derby fans are on Derbyshire police ;D

Derbyshire police have distanced themselves from the decision - They are claiming the game was called off at Derby's behest.

There is something very dodgy about this but personally, I'm delighted. It helps us (and Fulham) as not only was the gap kept down but also, Cardiff will now have to play 8 games in 30 days. They will drop points - It's just whether we can win 7 out of 8.

Sooner have hope than be where we were last season.

It may have been the clubs decision, but Derbyshire police were reporting on twitter earlier in the day that they had been called to a lot of RTCs and asking people not to make unecessary journeys.

Theres nothing suspect about it. Pride Park may have been OK but most of Derbyshire wasn't, and it was probabky wise to turn the Cardiff fans back as quickly as possible as conditions right across the country worsened as the day went on.

Oh well!

Colin Wanker was on the wireless earlier, and fair play to him he said if he was in Rowett's position (with injuries), he'd have pulled the same stroke.  Say what you like about him - and many do - but at least he's honest.

As in the honest way four of his players went down injured that time he got the game abandoned.

Don't mind him, his recent books were excellent reads.

He plays the pantomine villian role well.

I'm actually of a similar opinion.

You play to your strengths and if you don't have the money and/or attraction at your disposal that clubs like Villa or Wolves have then you have to make up for it in other ways. That is what Warnock has done although I think he's been helped immensely by the form of Junior Hoilett this season.

Pace covers a multitude of sins. We've missed Green coming off the bench.

Pace creates fear and generates errors in tiring defenders. It was the very basis of the career of one Agbonlahor, G. Once he lost that and became pregnant with a truck wheel he lost all of his value.

Green is quick. Twice in two days I've read the bizarre statement that he has no pace.
