Colchester vs Southend on Sky Sports 1

[Mr Smggles]

Shocking pitch, costing southend early on. You must feel for the guy, but it was very funny

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Still got a soft spot for Southend after spending my 1st 18 years there...who needs Boca/River, Ajax/Feyenoord or Celtic/Rangers when you've got the Essex superderby!!

I agree pitch is awful. Very soft goal, sympathy for the defender.

 

[Mr Smggles]

Would there be any chance of the ref calling it off due to the pitch?

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

only Norwich (2.53) average more points per home game than Colchester (2.42) who are tied with Leeds...no f***ing suprise looking at that pitch, which as the Yanks would say, gives definate 'home field advantage'!!

 

[Trigger]

Where are the fans?... I'm guessing they must charge near enough £25 a ticket too or something?

 

[brightonmad999]

pitch is crap and weve got to play on that soon

 

[luke17]

Agree the pitch its shocking by far the worst i have seen this season but its the same for both teams so no complaints. I did have to laugh at Barrett even my dog could of stopped that from going in and even if he did connect with it im sure he would of just smashed his goalie round the head with the ball.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

That's going to ruin our passing game when we play there

A bit like, say, Withdean from 1999-2002.

Yes, yes they do. (well they did when I went there last season)
