FlyerTon Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 A82 route from Inverness weather looks OK. Weather forecast at kick off, had it gone ahead, showing sunny intervals, dry, 10c. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcuw76w44#?date=2023-10-21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, it turns out Inverness-Glasgow trains were actually back to normal from this morning as well. So, with no need to go near a red area, the A9 open and public transport operating as normal there was absolutely no restriction on the team travelling, or on fans travelling by road or rail. The game's been called off for the sole reason that Inverness asked for it because they had injuries. Meanwhile it was genuinely impossible for some Morton players and any Inverclyde based fans to get to our game two weeks ago and it went ahead.

vikingTON Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Have no problem with this game being off - and from a self-interest perspective, we should have every game postponed until Quitongo and O'Connor are fit. The issue is with the double standards highlighted above between the SPFL refusing to call off games when it was practically impossible to travel two weeks' ago, compared to this. There should be predictable and objective criteria for decision-making instead of the ad hoc nonsense prevailing at the SPFL right now.

TheScarf Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Thistle v United is on. Strange given St Mirren and The Caley fans will travel the same bits of road between Glasgow and Perth that United fans will. Dundee is far closer to the mayhem than Inverness and Dingwall are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you know that? And why, as per Morton's statement, would the police have backed them up on that?? C'mon, get real....... Game's aff, get over it, it's a beautiful day in Inverclyde, get out and enjoy it. More to Saturdays than just fitba'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling the game off was the right decision when it was made. It's a shame that they didn't make the correct decision when Morton played QP as you twice point out, but I'd rather they learn from mistakes than do what you seem to be implying and sticking to some ill judged precedent because of what-aboutery. I think it would have been really unfair if we were the home team at the weekend and Morton had been expected to travel up to Inverness. The weather was severe at the weekend, there were fatalities, but I'm sorry you are so butt hurt about the game being off just because of a lousy decision two weeks ago.

Lanky Highlander Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I live in Beauly, am an Ayr United fan, and drove to Dunfermline and back ok on Sat for our game. No reason I can see that your game was cancelled. Edited October 24, 2023 by Highland Exile Typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason I can see that your game was cancelled. As it turned out it the travel conditions were OK on Saturday, you are right. However when the game was called off on the Friday evening, it was the correct decision at that point in time. Well in my opinion it was anyway. That's just one person's opinion, feel free to disagree, it's really not worth arguing about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Highlander Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 You're right, sorry if my chipping in seemed argumentative, that really wasn't my intention. Was a bit of a bizarre drive on Saturday, really wild down the A9 until Pitlochry then a nice autumn day, even wore my sunglasses at Dunfermline game! Hopefully will be the same weather at the upcoming Caley v Ayr game - a lot less travelling too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBeastie Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I stay in Glasgow, it was actually really nice down here on the Saturday, perfect for a game of football in the afternoon, but hindsight is 20/20. With red weather warnings still in place and fatalities it was the right decision at the time (again - in my opinion solely). I hope the weather is as good at the upcoming game you mention but that you don't get the three points this time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
