Stephen Malkmus Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Can only assume ICT didn't fancy playing us on a slightly heavy pitch, what with this attractive passing attractive football Inverness supposedly play. I guess they fancied their chances better on a cold Tuesday night where we wouldn't be out signing the home fans and have a long midweek trip, which usually results in a home win. Pretty sneaky really. Nailed it. The weather is great here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Indeed Scary. We're just about at Inverness, suns out. Typical. Some laugh on the train though with the drink flowing Yeah.... Nice sunny day here now - make the most of this spring like weather. Have a bar lunch in the Castle Tavern pub, then take a walk along the riverside to the River Ness Islands. Lovely part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistle Blower Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm sure UEFA put in a rule saying that no other mathces other than Champions leagues matches should be showing LIVE on a champions league night. I remember the days no live football was shown on TV when it clashed with a league fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Got zilch to do with us. It's the ref you have to convince but if the forecast is correct and the rain is to be what is expected then I can't see it going ahead. If you look at this map here, and project it through tonight and tomorrow, we are pretty much right on the edge of rain fall. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646088 There might be a bit of light rain tomorrow afternoon, but I don't think it will be too bad. . its your fuckin fault mate...

RoversMad Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This is an SPL side you are playing now, Sunny Jim - not Sevco. Ours is a modern, state of the art stadium with the finest facilities in place that money can buy. These include a drainage system designed to cope with the monsoon like conditions we get up here - when it's not snowing. I can't remember the last time we had a game called off here. No doubt someone will enlighten me soon. Nice try but I meant this one (again) It started off badly (there's no such thing as the SPL anymore) then it turned condescending, then finished off tempting fate to bite you in the arse. And she has For what it's worth I'm gutted, we were at Kelty thankfully so not too far on the road but I can't really blame the ref for calling it off as firstly I've not seen the pitch or the weather secondly I've been at away games at Ayr twice and Dumbarton twice when the game was called off after we arrived in town ( as well as being 20 miles from Dumfries for a Queens game) which is even more of a pisser.

We'll be losing a fair amount of money from a reduced crowd (home and away fans) as well as loss of hospitality as well. It's frustrating but at least a decision was made relatively early on in the day which may have saved more of your fans from embarking on travelling up the A9. We could have waited until 12 to see what the weather was like but a decision was taken to call it early rather than exacerbate the inconvenience that would doubtless be caused.

HibeeJibee Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 With the exception of a couple of Finals - does anyone know the last time not a single tie of a Scottish Cup round was played on a Saturday? Is this is a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Collum in being Mother Nature shock The weather forecast looked pretty bad so as soon as the early inspection was called it was pretty clear that they would err on the side of caution and call the match off. As disappointing as it is, I'd rather that than be 2 or 3 hours up the road on the bus then have to turn straight round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
