lobey dosser Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Arthurlie have shown total contempt for The Gow players supporters and officials by calling today’s game off because of “puddles” - nothing of course to do with the fact they have a few key players on holiday, working or injured (Arthurlie supporters words last week) The SJFA should send somebody up for a second inspection and if they are at it fling them out. I hope they get pumped next week. Arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hong Kong Phooey Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Scandalous. Heard they only had 12 players available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The pitch was in a terrible state a few weeks ago against Kilwinning so I'm not surprised it has finally succumbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the game at Dunterlie was pulled after a referee's inspection this morning and not merely on Arturlie's say-so - if that's the case it's all above board - obviously disappointing, but end of story really.

AFAIK if it's patently obvious the game will be off - heavy snow on the park, ten degrees of frost, actual flooding and so on - there's no need to request an inspection. If it's any kind of judgement call, an inspection's required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori. Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 A number of games have succumbed to the weather. I just passed the park and its sodden. No way could the game have been played. It absolutely battered down here last night. Dunterlie unfortunately suffers in the bad weather as 2 previous posters have already pointed out. Absolutely nothing the club can do if the referee puts the game off at the morning inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With lightish frost, there's always the chance it may thaw in time for kickoff, so again a judgement call and an inspection required. I was meaning -10 overnight and a frozen solid pitch that wouldn't have a chance. We had a similar case last season the first time we tried to play Linlithgow in the cup - match ref called it off early morning due to one area being too soft. We had one guy on here that just couldn't get his head around the fact the REF had pulled the game, and was insisting the Rose sent committee men over to do their own inspection Predictably after coming close to passing the inspection the first time of asking it then hosed down the next couple of Thursdays and Fridays and it subsequently took us a month to get the thing played.

Arseholes. A scandalous statement considering a referee called the game off. Maybe you should engage your brain before making factual statements on a public forum. Also think whoever runs the Gow twitter should take a good look at themselves and I wonder if the SJFA might be wanting a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
