I've seen a lot of delusion on this forum down the years but believing quality players are itching to play in the 2nd tier of Scottish football for the club who weren't even top and may very well stay there is proper deluded.

Dundee Hibernian Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thank you to the Bairns who reminded me of the fixture shift you have on the first weekend in March: daftly, I was looking at Saturday games and noticed you had none. Plastic pitches: there is a medical school of thought that attributes some cancers to playing on artificial turf, which I'm sure most are aware of. But like most theories, there will be others who will dispute the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware of the commercial benefits for smaller clubs like our teams. However, it is really not lazy to suggest that there is a higher likelihood of injuries being caused by plastic pitches. Additionally, for some young players it is all they know. When they move up ages and come to play on grass then they will find it difficult Go on then; prove it. It really, really is, unless you have numbers to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had far fewer injuries since we moved to astro than before if you ask me. Only long term I can think of was Peter Grant which was caused by Livies tattie field. Every time the old firm get an injury on plastic its because of the surface. Every time its on grass its just one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the actual point of this thread, we look a different team far improved from Hartley's mob but we've only really played 2 games with these players, still hard to know exactly how good or bad we are, United have brought a few in as well, this game could go anyway and we'll have a better idea of how both sides will get on towards the end of the season.

Aufc Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Ban all 4G pitches cause some Airdrie fan on the internet didn't warm up properly before a couple of fives games. Correct. It is shocking.In all seriousness, i have no issues with 4G. I just dont think they should be in use in the top flight. Really don’t think that is particularly controversial. The commercial benefits for smaller teams clearly makes it a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we don't have the same amount of cash to waste as United have or we would've been out of here long ago. United haven't even managed to come second yet for fecks sake.
