johnstone Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not having a go at the club at all. It's the refs that make the decision and they need to be more prepared for these issues in my opinion. A pitch inspection at 5.30pm is too close to the game to make the call. Great that it's on though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 As long as it gives fans time to travel, I'm always in favour of leaving the pitch inspections like this as late as possible. Nothing more frustrating than an early call off followed by good conditions at kick-off time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that it's on though! Sorry I should've phrased that better. I didn't mean that you were having a go at the club. I agree that there could/should be a better system in place for declaring pitches playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that it's on though! interesting , EDIT, I know your not having a go, just figuring if anything changed would have made it better? having watched the clubs updates all day, it wasnt the officials that decided the timeline it was the weather the game was only really in question for about a one hour window from around 1615-1715 so if there had been any earlier inspections, what would it have delivered? 1430 game on 1445 game on 1500 game on 1515 game on 1530 game on 1545 game on 1600 game on 1615 game on - heavy rain - will need re-assessed if rain stays on beyond hour forecast 1630 game on - heavy rain - will need re-assessed if rain stays on beyond hour forecast 1645 game on - heavy rain - will need re-assessed if rain stays on beyond hour forecast 1700 game on - rain stopped - assess pitch and weather forecast 1715 game on - rain, drizzle at worst pitch ok, forecast holding 1730 declare match on EDIT: where it all could go wrong is if the arse end of this weather 'storm' catches us all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punk_in_drublic Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm getting at nothing. Not everything needs to have some sort of secondary meaning, all I'm saying is most games were fifty-fifty but under Barraclough it went sour and under McGhee it feels like a fifty-fifty contest before its kicked Off.

Lobey_Dosser Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Enjoyed that tonight, a hard thought victory against an unfortunate St Johnstone. Thought we played some really good stuff at times without hitting Parkhead levels. Great to see Marvin in full flow and Ripley proving me wrong, his first save changed the course of the game. Special mention for Skippy who has been back to his best in recent weeks. We are very fortunate to have a player of his quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
