What they Said
"The match was a fiasco, the players journeying to and from the ground occasionally for warming beverages, whilst Wilkes sought the friendly covering of an umbrella in goal, and Devey reappeared in an overcoat, which the referee made him dispense with."
ASTON VILLA v. SHEFFIELD UNITED.
In weather utterly unfit for football, this match was played at Perry Barr yesterday.
Rain had been pouring the whole of the morning, and it was still coming down in torrents when the men entered the field to perform before aN attendance on par with the weather.
Villa started down hill, and immediately Chatt put the ball through, a further point was gained before half time, although the ball was oftentimes close to the goal mouth at either end; but mud pools impeded the progress of the players, and made good shooting impossible.
The second half proved a ludicrous exhibition, and resolved itself into long scenes of scuffles, most of them in the visitors’ quarters, and no fewer than four more points were put on for the home side by Devey, Chatt and Reynolds.
The match was a fiasco, the players journeying to and from the ground occasionally for warming beverages, whilst Wilkes sought the friendly covering of an umbrella in goal, and Devey reappeared in an overcoat, which the referee made him dispense with.
Considering the very bad state of the weather, the game should not have been commenced.
