My understanding is that the SPFL may be re-assessing this and an earlier inspection may now be sanctioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about the poor thistle fans, trains stopping at dundee if they even get that far. All lines closed south of Arbroath so how do they get home again. Call it off now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timlichtie Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Wind forecasting is far from an exact science. You can’t postpone a game hours before kick off if there’s any chance of a rapid decrease. Fans would be raging if it was 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans would be raging if it was While I don't disagree as such - the obvious alternative point is that if the game is now postponed at 1:30 or later, or abandoned, then it's just as bad (worse...?) making everyone go through the motions for something that seemed like it would obviously not happen all along. Damned if you do damned if you don't I guess.... Personally, considering the chances of either postponed or abandoned, I'd prefer it was just called off now and done with, but obviously realise it's not as simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if Gaston is actually engineering this postponement because of vile incident last time out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a pitch inspection going to help that? If they are concerned about dangerous travelling conditions then request a postponement for that reason, not because of the playing conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I would be surprised if there are many games going ahead in Scotland today. I believe the Aberdeen game is soon to be called off. The “just get on with it” crowd obviously don’t have far to travel unlike a lot of fans, and all the players and officials. It’s not just all about kicking a ball. Edited January 29, 2022 by Tattie36 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
