Livingston v Aberdeen Postponed

[gersin008]

Protects Scott Wright from injury

 

[rangeral]

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

Which already have some games on the European midweeks

Scottish Cup may resume after 1st February

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

 

[_DON_]

All Weather Pitch.

 

[Cavin]

People can laugh at Livi but more fixture congestion in the league is far from ideal. Fucking weather

Who cares? as long as it's not us.

 

[Recoba]

Is it just me that thought these pitches were ready to play on no matter how heavy the rain is ?

Pathetic

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

Just a pity no away fans also.

Oh there was - they paid £20 to Livi to watch the warm up

 

[DoubleWhopper]

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.

This is what I've been wondering...surely we're not going to have Premiership teams sitting scratching their arses on a weekend cause the cup is off?

With the way things are at the moment, surely we can and should be playing a Premiership game instead that weekend.

[fmp]

I was slaughtered recently for laughing at the "all weather" artificial pitch. I was told by a "qualified" SFA ref that no-one claims they are all weather, they are installed purely for financial reasons.

A bit of google-fu seems to support his statement.

Yeap 100% mate. We need games played ASAP

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

Laughing stock.

Poor Sheep an awe.

 

[defender]

Pishing down right enough. Need a big water vacum pulled by a tractor on these pitches, cos no natural drainage obviously.

So no good in frost, no good in heavy rain and no good for entertaining football.

What kind of governing body would approve that ?

 

[bearett]

Problem is unlike a grass pitch there is no drainage. I'm sure Livi and Killie have a solid tarred base under the synthetic surface.

Is their's diffrent to Falkirks. Heard their was more exspencive . Colour undernearh. Have they had any games PP

His mannerisms when speaking are very like Stewart Robertson.

Coincidence?

 

[Caldow3]

Was that "all weather" pitch bought off Del boy ffs?

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

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

Poor sheep have a long trip back.

This guy was definitely in a young team before he lost his hair.

 

[Alex Hunter]

It’s a misconception btw that these parks are “all weather”. However; with the right preparation they should be available most of the time and tonight’s conditions hardly seem drastic enough to forgive this.

Embarrassing.

Check his Wikipedia for a nice surprise.

 

[fmp]

Check his Wikipedia for a nice surprise.

Brilliant

 

[Talktalk]

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

Shocking that it was called off 10 minutes from kickoff, what about the travelling supporters must have cost a few Bob down from Aberdeen

Bonkers, surely a design fault. Where is the water supposed to go?

 

[Alex Hunter]

Having a chuckle here as I had no idea of his past until last week and now when you see him interviewed it all falls into place.

Rangeral has nailed it.
My main point was that the Sky commentator was talking about the lack of dates for rearranged fixtures.
They are amateurs and like a number of posts / comments on here, how do they get and hold down their job? Their lack of knowledge has me baffult.

 

[WAAP]

It was a sell out.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Embarrassing, theres a few puddles but nothing major.

Pity it wasn't the tarriers they were playing tonight - they could've just drank them all up before kick off

 

[Macdonsj]

Bonkers, surely a design fault. Where is the water supposed to go?

Maybe we're stealing that too

 

[Derek1960]

Rip it up and start again.

I hear grass is a good option for a quality football pitch.

I just know I'm going to have a piece of that pitch in my fish supper in about 10 years time. David Attenborough start a campaign

 

[Gee11]

Total Embarrassment its meant to be an all weather pitch

 

[Gramps1]

Livi nice and fresh for there next 2 games no injuries or suspensions.

 

[fmp]

Having a chuckle here as I had no idea of his past until last week and now when you see him interviewed it all falls into place.

It's still giving me a giggle now.

Fair play to the guy he is doing well at Livingston and came across well in that interview, despite the nasal neddy accent.

 

[Wugs]

Farcical.
On the plus side, Livi can rest up for their double header

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

This guy absolutely loved being in front of the camera

loves to smash his lips

 

[RoyalBlue1]

Frozen then waterlogged, absolutely amateur stuff.

Scottish footballs top flight ladies and gents.

 

[Cyberniv]

Pitch should have been forked a long time ago.

 

[Barney Bear]

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....

No rumour, this has been signed off from the very top.

 

[Walkers Loyal]

No rumour, this has been signed off from the very top.

Just as I suspected, G

 

[EH47]

Tin pot club obviously not spending the money to run it properly.

 

[Barney Bear]

Just as I suspected, G

I thought at first it was from Aberdeen, then Livingston I presume?

 

[Gogso]

The referee was running fine on the pitch we played in much worse conditions in Belgium

It probably plays worse in summer when bone dry.

 

[Walkers Loyal]

I thought at first it was from Aberdeen, then Livingston I presume?

Well, Livi were the first to try to get the game cancelled to let them rest and since McInnes is a Rangers man he was more than happy to let them in order to help the Rangers.
It’s true, I swear!

We also invented COVID

 

[Corkinator]

Waterlogged pitch. On an all weather pitch

Keeps them fresh for the scum though

 

[Walkers Loyal]

We also invented COVID

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Apparently the tie in with the Chinese club all those years ago was a cover to develop Covid because after all, as Liewell said, no other club in the world has been as badly affected by Covid as they have...

That’s how long all this has been in play. They have no idea how high this goes...

 

[Super Cooper]

Whit?!

Fit?

 

[Sam English]

Ditch the pitch.


Utter shambles and shouldn't be allowed in the top flight.

 

[BSPECIAL]

These pitches should be banned now. Shambles. why not throw sand down to soak the water up.
