Aberdeen city council have a knack of destroying everything they touch. The San Siri is, or at least was, owned by the Milanese city council. I think it’s quite common in Italy with Juventus one of the only teams to actually own their own ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the San Siro is always in a state because of the design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 49 minutes ago, kingjoey said: I’ve no idea why so many people are getting their knickers in a twist over this. I might be wrong, but is this not only the second time that Livi’s artificial pitch has had a match postponed because of the weather? I’ve been at two games, could be three, where matches at Pittodrie were put off because of flooodlight failure. Things out of everybody’s control happen. Ehm...maybe like a pandemic. Exactly. Filed safely away in the "online fitba fans getting incredibly furious over a minor, commonplace annoyance" box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref (along with the players/managers) obviously decided it was raining too much/too heavily that the game wouldn't make it far enough to justify starting it. I can definitely read, perhaps you struggle with remembering what you wrote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in that post do I say that players and managers actually make the decision to postpone a game, rather than just that they might have a say (which in this case they did). It takes a big person to admit they've fucked it. Look forward to your apology. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell by the body language of the two managers that they both wanted it on. "I think the referee's made the right decision, there's no doubt about it. I do think that pitch is unsafe and potentially dangerous." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now McLean has set a precedent by allowing interviews with the MSM, I await with bated breath, both him and his collegues explaining baffling decisions every post match..... McLean has not "set a precedent" here. Referees have always come out and explained the reasons for a postponement (or abandonment). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Just now, Green Day said: I guess it's where you stated "The ref (along with the players/managers) obviously decided it was raining too much/too heavily that the game wouldn't make it far enough to justify starting it. "............... It was funny at first but I'm genuinely concerned now. Do you think that sentence reads "The ref has no say, and the players and management make the final decision"? There are probably scientists who would love a good wee slice into a brain like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got the stadium when the mad Italians were running about claiming we'd be playing Champions League football in a few years We have never owned the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
