Tonight’s game postponed

[RangersEasyOK]

Where u seeing this

hes trying to be funny

 

[MurtyMania]

Absolute shite planning your night around the football only for it to be called off

 

[johnnyseahound]

How many match threads do we need?

I'd like the mentally challenged match thread reinstated, until the day of the Kilmarnock game.

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

Further inspection at 19:30.

If you were heading for the match, carry on.

what?

 

[Moxy1690]

They should get a plastic pitch . less chance of this happening

 

[Barca Bear]

2019 and games cancelled a couple of hours before kick off .... embarrassing

We need VAR

 

[MurtyMania]

Could we no just do speedway or something instead?

 

[Coplandbear]

Someone should have the balls to ask for the game to be played tomorrow. Cowdenbeath and the questionable useless C-U-N-T that called it off should be promptly dealt with by the SFA.

 

[John McMahon]

Cowdenbeath have had the pitch covered. They were asking for volunteers to lay the cover and take it off today. Don't see what else they could have done. Obviously they feel the pitch is playable

Cowdenbeath v Rangers OFF due to frozen pitch. We understand a local referee ruled the pitch unplayable due to the far corner flag being frozen. Cowdenbeath officials are furious and say the pitch is playable.

Can they not just replace the frozen corner flag

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

People are nuts on here. It's a conspiracy that the pitch at a 4th level club can't handle bad weather. Pull your heads out.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Further inspection at 19:30.

If you were heading for the match, carry on.

If this is intended as a joke - nobody’s laughing.

Where you hearing this?

 

[Mexi]

They should get a plastic pitch . less chance of this happening

Or move to Brazil

 

[Baloo72]

Game should be at Ibrox

 

[MurtyMania]

Cowdenbeath did all they could by the sounds of it.

It’s one tiny wee corner of the pitch that’s the problem. You could probably pish on it and it would soften up

 

[Gallant_Few]

Since they have known about the weather being so cold for a good while now could they not have organised heat lamps to be used to thaw out the pitch throughout the day of the game? Or is that too much common sense?

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

If this is intended as a joke - nobody’s laughing.

Where you hearing this?

He’s trying to be a smart arse.

Nights ruined, I will need to speak to the missus now

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

It was a break for the players, not a break from the weather.

We had to squeeze 9 games in to December to accommodate this break. What's the point?

 

[grascots]

Going to have to converse with the wife now.

That’s a bit extreme mate. There must be other options!

 

[wilso10]

Killie is a far more important game and so going into that with a fit and healthy squad, barring any disasters on Sunday, is not such a bad thing.

Had a horrible feeling someone would have got injured tonight.

 

[okeydokey505]

If this is intended as a joke - nobody’s laughing.

Where you hearing this?

Who would hold a pitch inspection 15 mins before kick off ?

He is indeed trying to be funny.

 

[L_D]

Further inspection at 19:30.

If you were heading for the match, carry on.

Why would you want banned for trolling bro? You're a fantastic poster and now Doc will ban you for ruining peoples night.

 

[5*RFC]

Has it really? Where you based Alaska?

Near enough, Inverness

 

[Papatango]

Can I be 1st to predict that there is no chance this will go ahead on the 30th.

Long range forecast is for a very cold front to arrive next midweek.

This has the potential to turn into a saga.

 

[borderbluenose]

Name the local ref !!!

 

[BrooklynBlue]

They should also be able to switch it back to tomorrow 3pm as originally planned. No reason why we should have to have a fixture pile up because the game was moved to an evening when it’s colder.

Agree with this. We shouldn't have to wait nearly two weeks when it could be played tomorrow.

Whooooooooooooooooooooosh.

Me too - apart from being angry at Cowdenbeath's incompetence and amateurish organisation, I'm happy that we have more time to prepare and avoid injuries before next midweek which was by far the bigger game anyway.

 

[jimbear]

Better off imo. A game on an icy pitch against anyone is never my idea of fun. Central Park on a freezing Friday night on a rock hard pitch is better avoided. A night in front of the telly with a couple of large glasses of Black Label will do for this Bear.

 

[AirthBear]

Further inspection at 19:30.

If you were heading for the match, carry on.

If you are posting lies, you should be banned sin die. It's not on misleading bears heading to the game.

 

[Mark Walters]

The pitch is immaculate lolololol

How the %^*& can some nobody make that call?

 

[Taki]

That's not really true though is it. It's a 2 week weather break which as has been seen in previous years is 3 weeks early. Then show and cold weather has hit late January into February for the last 20 years.

It is true because it’s the truth.

The break is not about avoiding the weather because avoiding the weather is not possible. The break is about giving players a break.

 

[5*RFC]

Could be a blessing. Davis and Defoe in particular are used to pristine pitches all year round so avoiding that disgusting pitch tonight means they are injury free for Killie.

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

Just as well I have about 5 podcasts from Heart and Hand to listen too

 

[Barca Bear]

Name the local ref !!!

Burn the witch, defrost the pitch.

 

[Prestwick Bear]

Gutted about this tbh. Was really looking forward to it. Roll on Sunday I need my Rangers fix pronto.

 

[Robert Prytz]

We’ll end playing this at East end park or somewhere similar eventually as the chances of better weather in jan/feb evening is slim.

 

[Taki]

We had to squeeze 9 games in to December to accommodate this break. What's the point?

We needed the break. Steven Gerrard confirmed it. We’ve been playing since July. We were on our feet. The players need a break. The weather is nothing to do with it but that won’t stop a load of bitch whining.

 

[Mexi]

Could be a blessing. Davis and Defoe in particular are used to pristine pitches all year round so avoiding that disgusting pitch tonight means they are injury free for Killie.

They'll feel safer on the plastic pitch no doubt

 

[govwalker]

Somebody posted through the week about this week end weather forecast and was laughed at, so there you go.

He was laughed at for predicting snow nearly a week ago.

It's not snow just frozen so there go

 

[Barca Bear]

Yeah, another beneath thread, lol

 

[jimbear]

Sums up this shitehole of a country.

We have a winter break to avoid fixture congestion, and first game back, it's fucking postponed. Absolute fucking nonsense.

The late Bob Campsey used to say that the winter break was only helpful if you knew when the bad weather was going to arrive. You cannot do that in Scotland.

 

[5*RFC]

They'll feel safer on the plastic pitch no doubt

Plastic pitch vs a ploughed tattie field.

You're spot on haha

 

[Craigie]

TV.

 

[Papatango]

30th will be even colder than it has been this week.

Postponement saga looms.

When’s the next round due to be played as this could run and run?

 

[Neilston Unionist]

Was 2 mins away from my bus then boom called off! Absolutely fucking raging. Been grafting a ticket all week as well only managed to get one today.

 

[rangeral]

30th will be even colder than it has been this week.

When’s the next round due to be played as this could run and run?

9th February

If postponed again on 30th January

then

Monday 4th February or Tuesday 5th February if the clubs agree

Wednesday 6th February then Saturday 9th the back to Mon/Tues/Wed

That rules of the competition

 

[CaptainCourageous]

I've just found out this game is postponed, what an absolute joke - it's not even freezing temperatures.
