ftk Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Aye I thought as much. Just wow.Great comeback mate. As I said before I'm not against 3g pitches just putting the other side of the argument across.Interesting though that in the Dutch league they decided recently to phase out 3g pitches in top flight matches so it's not just in Scotland there is resistance to the surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Adams has had problems with his knees for years and says his body feels far worse after playing on the 3g than grass. I'm no expert on the matter by any means and don't mind 3g pitches at all especially in the lower levels. I think most players will agree though that grass is the their preferred surface as 3g pitches are generally not as soft as grass and harder on the joints. This results in more injuries and longer time to recover after games. Don't think there is any official research or data to back this up though. Can you please explain why a tackle is different on 3/4G to grass? Other aspects are quite obviously different but my uneducated mind fails to see the difference in tackles especially when talking about differences of training v competitive matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a comeback tbthwy, just remarking on how unashamedly unresearched your view was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Craig Brown seemed really touchy and Kenny Miller comes across as an argumentative arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is green , when it is not obscured by clouds, the sky from our perspective appears to be blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 "Connah's Quay manager is from Inverness, growing up nearby in the village of Kinlochbervie" Ah yes, KLB. Only a 95 mile hop, skip and jump over the Kessock Bridge. Banchory is closer to Inverness FFS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? I imagine the people who produce Sportsound see League 1 and 2 as the equivalent of the Juniors. Probably too busy changing their EPL fantasy teams and looking forward to next weeks Sky Super Sunday to bother reporting on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
