BallochSonsFan Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I think it has to be. If its like this at 3pm then its unplayable. Its not just the odd gust - we've got pretty constant strong winds and have had all night. Things are supposed to ease off a little nearer kick-off time. The weather warning is active until 3pm this afternoon for us. A ref could make the decision early and call it off but come 3pm it could be absolutely fine. On the other hand the game ref could see how bad things are around 2:30 and then call it off. There would be criticism if it was called off too early and the conditions improved or too late and fans were in the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 If it goes ahead it'll be farcical in this wind. Normally that might be a leveller for teams like us but on previous evidence we are unable to keep the ball on the deck despite Paddy Boyle's protestations. If it goes ahead I think I'll crack a can and watch from the warmth of my own home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The wind is forecast to drop significantly but I don’t know if that’ll be enough to save the game. Right now it’s not really safe to travel to the game never mind playing football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The wind will drop but not significantly enough that it'll be a good watch if it goes ahead. Any decision would need to be made sharpish to avoid Cove fans travelling in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-son Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I reckon that Cove will have left by now. Don't teams usually arrive around 1pm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons Fan Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 It’s pretty simple. Play the ball on the deck, no long high balls and it should be alright. Play high balls etc then your asking for trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Tbf it’s nowhere near as bad as when I woke up an hour ago. It may be playable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was about to make that point. Would be fine if our main play was to the big striker. I also have the fear the Sam Ramsbottom could be the player to score the most (own)goals in this match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Can't explain it but I've got a right good feeling about this game today. Might be too much coffee though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron2000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Interesting move by the club to put Cove fans next to the young sons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The peado chat is horrific from both fans but it's a much better atmosphere with the away fans in next to the wee guys. It's not the worst game given the conditions, Paton playing well. Duthie is up and down the park, that guy has some engine. Looked a penalty but I'm a fair distance away. We're fluffing the clearances a bit but I'm happy so far with the manner and dig from the sons. Cove don't appear to like a scrappy game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Well that's about as well as you can play into a 20mph wind. Really pleased with our performance, we've not given Cove a minute on the ball and we've created a few openings ourselves. MacLean doing what he should do every week in terrorising defenders and not getting involved in anything silly. He and Oyinsan look a good pairing up top. Paton and Carswell have been great in the midfield battle too. More of the same in the second half, and hopefully Wylde is told to shot on sight with this wind behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Good first half! Wind with us this half - big chance now! Lots of unnecessary moaning from fans in what was always gonna be a very tough half! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
