    Apparently your chance of being struck by lightening is one in a million. So, if there's a threat to the players who need to take cover, shouldn't fans, stuck on a muddy hill, be shown the same level of safety?

      My Mother once said to me when I was a about 10 years old.....haven't you got enough sense to get out of the rain David.

      If the cap fits wear it....those silly enough to sit on a muddy hill do not need to sit there, they are not entertaining anybody, we have no priorities to look after stupid's !!.....the players get paid the big bucks to entertain us.....that means they are more important and why god call's out, " how many helicopters, row boats and life savers do you want me to send"!

        In the history of the game has a player (or fan, for that matter) ever been struck by lighning? I was unaware it was such a pressing problem.

          A few soccer players have died from this. Check on YouTube.

      Yeh.... but nah.

      You will categorically NOT find Randy in an open field with metal goalposts at each end....Nope...nah-ah.

      How close have folks been to a lightening strike? It is quite memorable...you put it in your notebook

  Lot of people on TCT are complaining about JDB. Yes he struggled a bit in attack which is natural since it's his first ever game for us but defensively I thought he was great

    lol they complain cause he is not Payne Haas. What they don't realise is his minor details in attack by being the link man and in defence where his 2nd man in efforts were fantastic was the difference. He is there to set the tone in defence. Thats his main job. He was pretty good last night, particularly for a soon to be 35 year old.

      Now we all love Russell, deservedly so, as he's improved every facet of his game, and as a bonus he now feeds his winger
