paranoid android Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My point was that they're not morons, they're experienced ex-pros. The situation regarding the game is debatable. Willie Miller is an experienced ex-pro - he's on Sportsound saying the pitch was unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's been snowing in Glasgow all day my dad was working there all and was making his way home about 4 or 5pm and said the snow was heavy at that time and i seen other places fans saying the roads were bad with snow so surely if they're going to call a game off do it before fans travel, Conditions on the park were getting better so the game could have continued it was just a farcical display from the officials. The heavy snow only started at 4.20pm and lasted for 15 minutes max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They were slavering a load of pish - there is no way that pitch was playable - the game was a farce. Michael Stewart saying 'it's getting better', while sleet pished down behind him. Are you aware of the concept of the conditions being equal for both teams?

KR88 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yes. They're off. And the fans know they're off. I'll lay you good odds their pitches aren't just lightly covered with melting snow.This was the rangers' biggest game of the season - against the runaway leaders, live on TV, etc. How much have they cost themselves by their incompetence (wilful or otherwise)? That pitch could have been cleared. Read your initial post... You said no non league club would have called that game off.... Well they have an additional 17 hours but there games are off are they not?? This was the rangers' biggest game of the season - against the runaway leaders, live on TV, etc. How much have they cost themselves by their incompetence (wilful or otherwise)?

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 RangersMedia is a good read: If they canny deal with some snow on the park how are they gonna deal with several dead ******s a week on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You really are a fanny... Get the wooden spoon in there as always Aye, sectarian songs clearly heard. Hope SFA or EUFA take Sevco to task. What a carcrash of a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Willie Miller is an experienced ex-pro - he's on Sportsound saying the pitch was unplayable. I think it was playable - I've certainly seen worse. Its clearly a debatable point, with pundits on both sides. My point, quite simply, is that those in the studio were not 'morons' - they were experienced ex-pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They showed footage of Bobby Madden kicking the ball about pre kick off when the snow was still falling. The ball was running freely as the snow was still powdery at that stage so I can see why he let it start. However, as soon as it stopped snowing it started to turn to slush which is what caused the problems. He seems to have thought a combination of under soil heating and players running about would melt the snow much quicker but it obviously wasn't happening. Still dunno why they didn't try and clear it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Most bets get refunded on an abandoned game. I've got my money back already. Yup, just checked..put a bet on for tomorrow with my refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ann Budge should ask for security over Ibrox until the replay so there's no chance of Hearts' fans losing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, quite simply, is that those in the studio were not 'morons' - they were experienced ex-pros. Just because we've seen worse, doesn't mean it was playable. None of the pundits involved are morons, though - you're right about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Aye, sectarian songs clearly heard. Hope SFA or EUFA take Sevco to task. What a carcrash of a club. Why would that be any different from every other game they have played in their various guises since the 1800's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
