Falkirk playing in League One is the epitome of tin pot. If you really believe this has anything to do with the supposed lack of quality of plastic pitches you're at the very best naive.

Glen Scotia Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 How would people feel if the pitch at Hampden was made artificial? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were probably a few folk at the Georgia game who wished it was. Personally, I'd have no problem with it. You'd think the SFA ought to have the money to keep it in bowling-green nick and a really good grass pitch is obviously better. But would I care if it was a good plastic pitch instead? No, I wouldn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) We need to have VAR so we aren't out step with other Uefa countries..... We can't have artifical surfaces despite Uefa approval...... Almost like we are making it up as we go along, but that can't be the case... CAN IT?? Edited May 27 by Bairnardo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 8 hours ago, arabdelic said: The fact is last season your home form was good , your away form was atrocious , one of the worst in livings memory losing 15 out of 19 away games. A huge contrast between home and away. Improving ratio by getting better players doesn't support your point. Quite the contrary it illustrates this season you have been able to compete better away from home so the gulf between home and away points has reduced. Our away form was just as bad the season we were relegated. Interestingly, Hamilton, who were relegated automatically relegated that season, picked up more points away from home than they did on their own plastic pitch. You might want to do some stretches before attempting your mental gymnastics getting that stat to fit your bullshit theory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymcp Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Ban plastic in the Premier Division IMO. The way the ball bounces on plastic 90% of the game is basically GK passes to CB, launch, look for flick on, RINSE AND REPEAT. If I want to watch that pish then ill go to a junior game. -15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Plastic pitches are undoubtable crap. However creating some kind of Premiership grass pitch mafia that excludes other teams from being promoted is worse. A lot, lot worse. The league is already a stuffy bore with most seasons 1 out of 12 leaving the league. Or if you like a whole 92% of the league staying where they are. Contrast that with some of the lower divisions when 40% of the league can change around. Instead of closing off avenues into the top league we should be opening them up. The way Motherwell are going these days we'd be very much in danger but I'm absolutely in favour of 2 automatic relegation places. But lets face it, at both ends of the league system it's basically a self interested private members club with very minor concession.

Ours and several others (Accies, Airdrie...) are excellent. Far superior to many tattie fields you see scattered around the top tier from about November to April. Heavy disgusted with the St Mirren da bloc voting announced earlier. Slam that door shut, lads! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been present in the top league for over a decade, it isn't a coincidence that the vote is taking place once the last team with one is relegated. We're only changing because a wealthy owner is building a training ground for us. It stinks. Don't worry though, it's a done deal, as they won't put this to a vote unless they know it will pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a few different ones, but the one we have now I'm sure is the same one we last got relegated with. Despite how it can look on camera in the sun, inside the ground it looks ok and, as for what really matters, it plays fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
