       Darragh which is due to affect large parts of the country with
       damaging winds on Saturday. The safety of fans is paramount and
       the need for early and (if necessary) collective decisions on
       games to prevent fans traveling cannot be emphasised enough. We
       have been warned!

       My game on Saturday is on an artificial pitch.  Gusts of 60mph
       are forecast for 3pm.  Getting the ball to remain stationary for
       a re-starts may be an issue.  How often/far does it have to blow
       away before we abandon the game?  ;)

       In case anyone was wondering, the game went ahead.  It was a
       crosswind and both teams were firmly of the "keep the ball on
       the floor" mentality leading to a good game.  The ball dribbled
       off its position a couple of times due to the wind but everyone
       just got on with it.  The game was played in a terrific spirit
       and we officials had a very quiet afternoon.
