Livingston v Aberdeen Postponed

[Alkie Brooks]

Ach well, keeps them fresh for a crack at the poet at the weekend!

 

[LaidbackLaudrup]

Shame for Aberdeen to travel all that way for nothing.


Get it right up you dolly!!

Just a pity no away fans also.

 

[Walkers Loyal]

Ffs that would push them right over the edge, I am all for it.

Just plausible enough for the moon howlers to believe it.
I’m not on social media but maybe someone with an undercover log in at kerrydale st can get the ball rolling...?

 

[Papac]

In any normal country you wouldn't have these pitches at this level but you'd at least hope this is an excuse to rip them up once and for all.

 

[Barrymoped]

I can see our game with Motherwell off,with the heavy weather next few days.

Give it a day or so and there will be a thread on it. Because it’s raining. In January. In Scotland.

 

[dirty_sanshoes]

First time in my life I was going to watch a Livingston v Aberdeen match. And probably won't ever again.

 

[Walker54]

That's a fucking joke

 

[Walkers Loyal]

Amateur hour.

Amber warning for rain issued earlier in the day and nobody came out to look at the pitch until kick-off time.

So far the games on "all-weather" pitches have been frozen off, snowed off and waterlogged

Just wait until the good weather’s back, it’ll probably melt!

 

[coplandron]

Absolutely pathetic. A total riddy!

 

[Paparay]

Hate these pitches,but hope they’ll be fresher for the weekend !

 

[Valeloyal]

 

[Kbhblue]

90 mins in this weather against Aberdeen on their all-weather pitch (unless it's too cold or too wet) would have definitely took a lot out of them before the 2 bheast games.

They also now go into them still on their good run.

 

[schnauzer]

They couldn’t run a bath.

Just use the water from the pitch

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

More cancellations in top division on “ all weather “ plastic than grass I think . Farce ban them

 

[Burton blue]

Goldilocks pitch... not too cold, not too warm.....

Would it have been postponed if was on sky tonight?

 

[Soldier1981]

Don't you just hate these fair weather pitches

Keeps Livi fresh though

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

All weather pitch, even better when it's dry and sunny.

 

[bar72bear]

Can they not just sweep the water off the pitch?

 

[Zippy73]

Bastard, had Livingston on the coupon too

Me too. Sky have It as a 10.45 KO now. Cash out still reflects it is happening.

 

[TheWorks]

Absolutely ridiculous

 

[BlueKeld]

Twice now. Livi should be fined for that, all weather pitch and twice it’s off. So fucking tinpot it’s unreal

They really should, there is absolutely no excuse for using these horrible plastic pitches.

 

[Ped78]

Did they not have a game postponed a few weeks ago

Yes it was this game

 

[alex wright]

It’s not an all weather pitch it’s an artificial pitch.

 

[Jjbscotty]

The sheep should be awarded a 3-0 win.

 

[ottawabear]

Shame for Aberdeen to travel all that way for nothing.


Get it right up you dolly!!

These pitches are an absolute farce and should be stripped of this 'all-weather' tag. They are anything but.

 

[Angrybluebear]

Waterlogged pitch. On an all weather pitch

Keeps them fresh for the scum though

It's a all weather pitch so long as it's not too wet or too cold outside

Twice now. Livi should be fined for that, all weather pitch and twice it’s off. So fucking tinpot it’s unreal

Amateur hour.

Amber warning for rain issued earlier in the day and nobody came out to look at the pitch until kick-off time.

So far the games on "all-weather" pitches have been frozen off, snowed off and waterlogged

Total joke. I thought an all weather pitch was all weather.

More cancellations in top division on “ all weather “ plastic than grass I think . Farce ban them

sorry to be pedantic but there is no such thing as an all weather pitch, it is an artificial pitch.

it is Scotland so why are people surprised.

It is a bit like non stick pans, they aren’t really.

 

[TheBearinTheBigBlueHouse]

All weather pitch. Available in some weather.

 

[Arkanoid]

Get these pitches as far to %^*& as possible. No excuse now, none

 

[Ghost of Troubled Joe]

Whither the weather withers.

 

[Div1872]

Surely Sheep complain to SPL thats two games postponed when Sheep have been in stadium preparing for the games

An alleged all weather pitch my arse

The fact that Livi dont own the stadium and rely on the council makes the fact Livi are allowed to play in the SPL an utter farce

Time for the SPL are insist on grass pitches or no entry to top tier in Scotland

 

[be11y]

All part of the conspiracy

[Gordonek]

Need to check it for sharks before scum visit..

 

[DurhamBear]

Fu~~ b#######

Quite.

 

[WAAP]

Commentator is worried about lack of dates to rearrange this match.
Even I know that they can play on Scottish Cup weekend. The Scottish Cup weekend that has all games postponed.
I would like our midweek game v Hibs to be played then but Sky are televising the Wednesday game.
Surely three games in a week will be played if necessary. It has happened before.

There’s no reason for a decent surface to be waterlogged. Never seen the goals 5aside pitches ever getting waterlogged

 

[Blair bear]

Terrible pitches, should be used for training only. My local junior team is looking to change a good park to an all weather. It will allow them and other teams to train which is good but I’ve rarely seen a decent game on one. Livingston should have a machine to suck up the water, joke of a team.

 

[oldblueeyes]

An all weather pitch that can’t deal with rain or freezing conditions, what a joke .
Be better off trying grass .

 

[Austin says Ibrox Baby]

Shouldn't we be starting rumour that the pitch was fine but the SFPL wanted the game postponed to keep Livi fresh for their visit to the Chamber of Secrets on Saturday?

Aberdeen were completely complicit because a Livi win on Saturday helps their quest for second place....

You sir are a genius

How are teams worried about fixture congestion. It’s 2/3 games max. They have all the Scottish cup and European midweeks

Liege ended up a lot worse than that.

I know starting off a game like that is a different scenario altogether, but you'd like to think the groundstaff would be on top of things and make sure the pitch was playable. Also not ideal to call it off right before kick off, but I assume that as there are no fans travelling to games, they're willing to take things down to the wire.

 

[Walkers Loyal]

You sir are a genius

One tries ones best my good man

 

[abitoverdressed]

Whilst it's a joke of a pitch, glad they can rest up before their next game

 

[Virgil Hilts]

An all weather pitch that can’t deal with rain or freezing conditions, what a joke .
Be better off trying grass .

Their manager should be able to sort that.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Ban these plastic pitches in the top tier an absolute disgrace that the same game gets called off twice.

 

[devilman]

So, we've got all weather plastic pitches being frozen and now water logged.

Think they've just argued themselves out of them having any real use in top level football. Time to tell the teams, get grass or you're out.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

No injuries or suspensions for Livi for Sat

 

[nithbear]

Me too. Sky have It as a 10.45 KO now. Cash out still reflects it is happening.

Still on SkyBet as kicking off at 22.45

 

[Pentasa]

Livi have an an Artificial pitch to save money as I believe its the Chairman's son who takes care of it now as they sacked the groundsman once they changed to the new Pitch

Another masterstroke from Martindale getting the game called off tonight so the players are fresh for Saturday

Easy to say we move outstanding games into that date but that doesn't help after that

While Hibs away won't move that doesn't help us either

Move a fixture card from March might be better to 30th January

Scottish Cup while suspended still needs dates once 1st February passes if they allow it resume

Livingston v Aberdeen 1st available date is 23rd/24th February
