IndeedYou say that as if what it represents is new.

Games fecking gone. Stopping the game because of lightening for safety reasons?
Troll posts surely
Hale is pouring down, you can't play in that
Not Dortmund. Or most of the other stadiums.
Interrupting the game with such heavy rain, lightning and hail was completely the correct decision.
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening.
It's raining golf balls. No wonder they quit.
Hail too.
This never would have happened if they hosted the Euros in Qatar.
All for that! It's the getaway day anyways, plenty of time available.
Suspending play during bad weather is not unusual, but it is bizarre that the official clock keeps running.
Pace down both sides
Have to be careful saying that word in Germany,
Oh, wie ist das schön
Need the 'Utter Woke nonsense' meme.
It's leaking like OT!!
@AfonsoAlves - you want them to play in the hail too?
can only imagine this is god’s wrath at kimmich’s cheating.
Derek?
Seems tather daft that they’d take the players inside but leave the fans in the stands if thunder is a real threat.
Is this an actual rule, or are you shitposting?
A hailstorml is a mother fecking cnut to be in even with the small pellets.
I didn't know that the game was at Old Trafford.
Getting reports from a person in the stadium that the roof is leaking. So not only Old Trafford.
Old Trafford waterfall spotted in Germany
This is going to be called off.
There was also a footballer who was killed while training for Falkirk back in the early 2000s.
I’ve never seen a football match cancelled due to thunder and lightning before though. Water is falling from the roof of the Westfalenstadion like it does from Old Trafford.

Beat me to it!
Takes me back to our pre-season friendly tournament where we were supposed to play Urawa Red Diamonds, until weather ended the tournament.
No they're not.
This is absolutely stupid.
You either get all the fans out and the players, or neither.
Dortmunds stadium is gigantic, you would have to defy physics for lightning to basically ignore every metallic object in the stadium of 10 storeys high and somehow hit a player.
Every example of incidents involving lightning have been in stadiums with practically no elevation.
Lucky Germans, break suits them perfectly, we had them just where we wanted
Roof is already leaking
Be 1pm ish surely? For TV?
Always weird to me that some on here interpret criticism of him as purely down to his scoring record, when that has been totally fine.
If he doesn't significantly improve his all round game he isn't a long term starter for Utd unless he hits Haaland scoring levels.
The luck of this England team though.
Easy side of the draw, and now one of the most dangerous rivals on the other side on the verge of getting eliminated due to weather conditions.

Galileo! Galileo! Galileo, Figaro.
Thor was probably out of his mind watching Denmark pass it around in slow motion and decided to add his own entertainment.
Dortmund roof is worse than United’s
Imagine if that was Old Trafford… the drama

Lads on RTE are running out of things to talk about.
Most are under the roof.
Hail is a far more acceptable reason to stop play.
At that point though there was no hail.
For context, if the pitch wasn't 10 storeys high, then taking the players off would have been a good decision.
