" Just when you think you've seen it all in Scottish football...
Cowdenbeath officials can't be accused of not trying everything in their power to get tonight's Scottish Cup fourth round tie against Rangers on.
This is the moment a car was driven onto a particular problem area on the frozen park, presumably to get some heat into the frosty surface.
Unfortunately for the Blue Brazil their efforts were in vein as the money-spinning live TV tie was postponed just three hours ahead of kick off. "

RTV? Completed it mate!
Intravenous injection of exhaust fumes, eh?
Standards of journalism continue to plummet I see.

Why wasn’t it just moved to 12.30 or 5.30 today? Or anytime on Sunday?

Is Donald Findlay really blaming Jimmy Bell for the game being called off?
I reckon he was joking (I'm sure he knows Jimmy).
It's interesting what Cowdenbeath's own club secretary, David Allan, said:
"We did various things today to ensure the pitch was playable but there are two areas which are just too hard. The referee will not be a popular man I guess, but I don't blame him. He had a difficult job and I made sure no one from either side went out to influence him. Rangers and ourselves both wanted the game on but it's disappointing for everybody".
Can’t switch ties unless there are safety concerns. I never agreed with doing that anyway.

Nor do I. We did it in the League Cup with E Fife once.
Aye I remember that game mate. Keith at Pittodrie is another.
