The Bundesliga in Germany are considering a move to have all clubs playing on the same artificial surfaces. Not moving with technology is what is amateurish. It's an opinion, no more nor less valid than my own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 f**k your grass pitches, that would've been 8 today if we'd been on plastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBER MACHINE Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Love the taste of the salty tears that are caused by artificial pitches. Very arousing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliethedug Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I’ve never played on one of the new types as I’m to old. However, going to Rugby Park every second week, I don’t notice any difference between a game on grass or a game on plastic. That c**t Preston can go and take two fucks to himself! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The Bundesliga in Germany are considering a move to have all clubs playing on the same artificial surfaces. Not moving with technology is what is amateurish. I was interested to learn more so I googled it I couldn’t find anything but I did see articles about the German FA and Olympic committee’s reaction to new EU environmental regulations on micro plastics that would make certain Artificial Pitch Technologies illegal. They’re asking for a transition period to get existing artificial pitches in Germany up to scratch. Could it be that you’ve confused the DFB with the Bundesliga and misread a move to get all artificial pitches to use the same technology with a move to get all pitches to use the same artificial technology? It’s certainly the kind of mistake I’d make if I was reading something in German Here’s an industry report (in English thankfully) https://chemicalwatch.com/77732/top-german-sports-associations-call-for-artificial-turf-ban-transition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Keaghan Jacobs, Scott Robinson, and Jack Stobbs all went off injured on County's grass pitch yesterday, and Lyndon Dykes was limping at the end too, if that was a plastic pitch they were playing on it would be all over the media and twitter, fucking grass pitches though, get them to f**k. Prob why we didn't play Souda yesterday, he's too technically gifted to risk him being injured on grass.

Oh and anyone injured on grass doesn't count, these things just happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Our plastic pitch at Starks is miles better than grass one was. Great surface. Most of the worst surfaces i have seen in the lower leagues are grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 you would normally expect an increased probability of injury on artificial pitches down to the increased probability that you’re playing against Hamilton 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Once again a player gets injured playing on grass and no mention is made about the surface. Ryan Kent pulled his hamstring on the Ibrox turf and no one blames the pitch. Had it happened on an artificial surface you can be sure the media and slippy would have alluded to the surface and put the blame on it. All to often now players are getting injured playing on these spongy grass pitches and the media fail to condemn the surface. The time surely must come when folk realise that 4G pitches are the safest. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be able to prove this as I won't be here (!), but I reckon that in about 30 years max, most if not all football matches will be played on artificial surfaces, and folk will look back in disbelief that grass pitches were ever used, and that games could be cancelled because of rain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Conner Washington of Hearts now out for three months and Naismith already out. Aberdeen now missing a few players including Bryson. All these injuries occurring on grass pitches. The silence from the media is deafening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
