Why Should You Postpone?

Perhaps that title is what Estonians will say about the postponements in some English Premier League matches last weekend.

Seven Premier League matches, in addition to some previous FA Cup and Carling Cup matches, had been called off due to the heavy snowfall on England recently. This severe winter weather, has been dubbed as the heaviest snowfalls to hit Britain in three decades.

This footage below was taken from last year's international friendly match between Estonia and Canada in Talinn, 26th March 2008. You'll see and perhaps understand how Estonians can think that there is simply not enough reason to postpone some matches in Britain.

That match was played on a snow covered pitch, with the snow continuing to fall down and not so much as a fluorescent ball in sight. Slippery fun aplenty!
