EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken by Joe Meredith on December 26, 2012, at Ashton Gate Stadium, we find Derek McInnes, the manager of Bristol City, intently examining the pitch before the referee calls off the Championship match against Watford. The scene is set against the backdrop of a dreary and rainy day, adding to the somber atmosphere. McInnes, dressed in a smart suit and holding an umbrella, is deep in thought as he inspects the sodden surface, no doubt considering the safety and playability of the field for his team and their opponents. The determination etched on his face is palpable, as he weighs the potential risks and rewards of continuing the game in such conditions. However, referee Michael Naylor has already made up his mind. With the rain continuing to pour down, and the pitch becoming increasingly treacherous, he has decided to postpone the match, much to the disappointment of both sets of fans and the players. The decision was a necessary one, as the safety of all involved was paramount. This image encapsulates the unpredictability and challenges of professional football, as well as the resilience and adaptability required of managers and players alike. Despite the setback, McInnes and his team would have to regroup and refocus, preparing for their next fixture with renewed determination. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the unique and often unpredictable nature of the beautiful game, and the various elements that can impact its outcome. It is a testament to the passion and dedication of those involved, as well as the importance of making the right decisions, even when faced with adversity.
