What does it say about modern football?

When I was knee high to a grasshopper, I remember distinctly a frozen pitch stopped no man!

Out would come the orange ball and a couple of years later firm ground boots and the game was on.

None of these footballers worried about grazing a knee on the cold pitch.

Last week My team and out opposition asked to play our game in the snow, referee said no.

The pitch under the snow IMO was soft enough and the managers agreed but ref didn't want to as the F.A could get in trouble?!?

What has happened to the days of Football, the sport for any weather, providing you have a high visibility ball?

Yes, that Apple Computer lot are really struggling aren't they.......

....my point being that they make huge profits yet don't attract the same amount of griping as many other companies

Thanks brains .. Apple is a US based company and I was 'caricaturing' primarily UK companies .. have you read Jobs' biography ?, Apple is as avaricious and money obsessed as any, but St Steve did a superb job of marketing his baby as a caring, humanistic organisation; such a good Job (no pun intended) that I feel that he fooled himself .. but who cares anyway, it's not football
