What a shambles that’s been though. For the few minutes that were played the Pars looked well up for it and started by far the better. Apart from the no 5 who looked a shoe in to cost a goal at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Tinpot. Should have done what Accies done and invested 500 grand in Nigerian Whale blubber oil to power the floodlights.

You hold your card next to a device for about 2 seconds & a quid comes out of your bank account. No one's asking people to sign up for some dodgy 1980s, 50% apr store card with monthly charges. Personally I dont like using card for things under £3. Random I know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embow Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just to deflect away from the leccy issues, whenever it gets replayed we are going to have to come out the traps a fair bit sharper than the wee bit of this game tonight. It was getting to the point where I was almost expecting a Pars goal. And to be honest, it probably would have been deserved. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbykdy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The way Iwelumo and co were going on you would think it was the first time an electrical issue has caused a match to be delayed or abandoned. It is unfortunate but shit happens sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The club would like to apologise to everyone impacted by the abandonment of tonight’s fixture. This was due to an electrical issue which, as of yet, is unresolved. Electrical engineers are still looking to identify the root cause of why the power failure affected certain areas of the stadium. It was due to this power issue that floodlights, fire alarms, smoke alarms, stand and concourse lighting as well as electrical supply into parts of the ground failed. The Police Scotland Match Commander decided that in the interest of Public Safety that the game could not continue. A full investigation between the SFA, SPFL, football club, stewarding company and Police Scotland is ongoing. Further information including rescheduling of the fixture will be provided in due course. We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time for what has been a difficult evening for everyone. This is the statement from the club. So this is saying that a match went ahead when essential safety systems and lighting were not working and they knew they were not working. The actual f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only mid 30s and it would piss me off having to use card for something like a cup of tea at £1. Wonder if our half time draw tickets will come back "in person" or still be done online I’m in my mid 30s and it pisses me off having to use cash for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embow Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 From BBC Sport news. Raith Rovers boss John McGlynn added: "What can you do? We're instructed by the powers above us. There's no CCTV working and 500 fans outside. "The atmosphere was great. Everyone was up for it and it's a massive blow on a special night. It's turned out a bit of a disaster really. The club has spent £250,000 putting in new floodlights, trying to improve the infrastructure." Rovers later released a statement apologising for the abandonment, saying: "A full investigation between the SFA, SPFL, football club, stewarding company and Police Scotland is ongoing." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 53 minutes ago, pub car king said: Absolutely this, the match commander has fucked this game entirely. If the power was out in the stands after the floodlights went out the game should never have started. If there was a major incident in those 15 minutes you'd have 2 thousand folk trying to get out in the dark colliding with 3 or 400 trying to get in. They let everyone out of the ground at the same time despite it being a Derby and everyone is now pissed off. Sure enough all the bams turned up in front of the main stand as the large home crowd was exiting. To add to this there were no cops anywhere near this. The vans were up the road and there were a handful on foot at the corner of links street. Because they've utterly fucked this bit up you're shitebag element have drifted into the links to carry on and the police are now chasing their tails. Yeah. They made a complete mess of the situation. Let one set of fans out and hold the other back for 10 minutes. It's not rocket science. I went up Pratt St but I could see the police all running down the hill. They must've been the only people there who couldn't see the potential for bother. It was fortunate there wasn't another 1,000 or so Pars fans there. 55 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: 59 minutes ago, renton said: It was 10 fucking minutes I'm not saying it would've remained the same. But given the build up and the atmosphere in the south stand and how we'd done against Aberdeen I was quite surprised by how we struggled to get to grips with things. All irrelevant now. Yeah, it was too early to say a pattern had been established but as soon as they started pressing us up the pitch we looked lost. 17 minutes ago, Raithie said: Knowing Rovers we'll charge fans full price for the rearranged fixture I wouldn't be surprised if we try and charge everyone a tenner for the rearranged match... 3 minutes ago, pub car king said: The club would like to apologise to everyone impacted by the abandonment of tonight’s fixture.

If they weren't letting people in they clearly knew the match was unlikely to finish. I suspect if it hadn't been on TV they wouldn't even have started. As for the reason, it's hard not to think this was something to do with the new lights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't let people in as the WiFi was down. Smoke alarms also not working according to the OS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
