ICE SHEETS FORCES CALL OFF

Heavy snow that has been falling for the last 28 hours has forced match officials to call off today's game at the Tampinia Stadium.

The match involving Munjen Portugal FC and Ref Selection XI was cancelled just an hour and a half before kick off.

Fans who have arrived early for today's much anticipated match left the arena disgruntled.

A fan of MPFC who only wanted to be known as Hana, was quoted as saying that "the match offcials should have made their decision much earlier.

"Their late call has disrupted many a fan's day plans for today and the short notice given to us goes to show just how professional they are."

Her comments have come in the light of recent events where wrong calls by match officials during matches especially those involving MPFC, have cost them dear points which could have seen them taking in second spot over the last weekend.

The match official's spokesman, Von Hitchcock told correspondents that the snow which fell only started to fall heavier hours before and thus it was also impossible for them to get the pitch checked for accurate measures for the playability of the match.

As we met up with MPFC's striker, Haris, he was clearly enraged by the referee's decision.

"His call was diabolical. Imagine this, I saw our youth team training just 2 hours earlier on that very same pitch and everything was okay. Yes the snow might have been a little hard on us but from my experience, this pitch is a-okay!

"We've all trained hard for this cup match and it is really dissapointing not to be able to see if our hard work would pay off."

Elsewhere in the league, Newcastle came back from a goal behind to snatch a late winner against Birmingham since their last win on October 22nd.

Manchester United strolled past Derby with a rout of 5-1 with goals coming from Giggs, Tevez and Ronaldo.

Here are the rest of the scores:

Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland
Aston Vila 1-3 Portsmouth
Everton 3-0 Fulham

*Reading 1-0 Liverpool (at press time)
