FORGET the potential all-England semi-final in the Champions League between Manchester United and Liverpool.

The fixture all football is talking about is Selby Town v Pickering.

Both teams are having a great season, but their long anticipated derby appears cursed.

First it was called off because of a waterlogged pitch, then the groundsman severed an electricity cable, causing a big hole to open on the pitch.

All that is missing is brimstone and a plague of locusts.

The sooner these brave boys can get this match played and over with, the safer for us all.
