Ya Bezzer! Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Country is a joke when it comes to snow. Look at canada and russia for fuck sake. I've come through no bother albeit only from renfrewshire lol. Should have tried to get a train out of Glasgow last night. The Russians runs trains over Siberia, we cannae get them over a thick frost in Rutherglen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Not suprised. Although that is now two games already this season we will need to get rescheduled. Not a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickoza Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Scotrail are pathetic at times. We were sat in a train last night at Waverely for 20-odd minutes before, some 10 mins beyond it's departure time, they decided to cancel the train for no given reason. Meant the entire train had to try and fit on a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Again, why are asda, braehead an the fort still permitted to trade? Substantially more people will be there... Know its not your fault though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 All these folk moaning about the roads and streets - you do realise there is a recession going on, yes? You do realise budgets have been cut and that means less money that councils can devote to winter preparation? I broke my shoulder slipping on an untreated pavement right outside a school. That was an accident, that's the end of it. However, there's plenty other people in this compensation climate that we live in would be suing for thousands for any accident that occurred because of the ice or snow. I don't blame the police for trying to prevent people from converging in and around the Fir Park area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 the bbc have reported that the pitch is playable but its the surrounding roads that are the problem, so at least their reporting is accurate for a change. Can't get on to the official website, it always seems to go down when there are more than 5 folk trying to access it! If the Newcastle game goes ahead though there should be questions asked of NLC.

star sail Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Flow mate, I think you need to get on to ssn and INSIST that they report the matter correctly. A joke anyway. The polis dont shut braehead or hamilton asda do they?? Should just say travel at your own risk. That is ok for the fans who have the freedom to make their own decisions. The players don't however and for the Hearts players travelling aong the M8 this is the right decision. Safety first. Has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Agreed. Its not as if it was a sudden unexpected heavy flurry. Surely something could have been done to make the streets safe. There is not point clearing snow while it's snowing or if more snow is expect, you just have to wait it out I just get a bt pissed off that the football is off but you can still risk you life driving to some crap supermarket or shopping mall There is no way I'm even going to try and move my car today, I'm just hoping for lots more snow so I can't go to work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteelman Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm just hoping that no one has been driving up and down the pitch with a tractor like they did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East_Stand_Al Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Its a conspiracy I tells ya, Sky, NLC and ra Polis are all in with the refs. Does this mean that the Refs will have to be on strike for the rearranged tie for us and dumpdee untied ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 If the Newcastle game goes ahead though there should be questions asked of NLC. More like questions will be asked of the Newcastle police for allowing the game to go ahead and putting the public at risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Leeann Dempster on Sky Sports News there. Sounds like the club did everything they could and acted very professionally throughout. As for the United v Rangers game, again the pitch was playable but the ref was snowed in and the police couldn't get to the ground. Everyone interviewed accepted that the right decision was made. I understand that it's frustrating that our game is off. But seriously, for once, can we not as a fan base just accept some bad news without moaning and greeting about it?

SteelmaninOZ Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I smiled reading the official site when they said the Porto's who were to officiate at to days game have went home. BTW it also says the games off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 More like questions will be asked of the Newcastle police for allowing the game to go ahead and putting the public at risk If the snow had been lying and compacted into ice like it was last year then yes I could maybe understand it. But its fresh now, should be easy to clear (its stopped snowing and the skys are clear). The real problem for folk today will be getting out of their own streets. It's probably the right decision to call it off. Just frustrating that in a county like ours we still grind to a halt at the least bit of bad weather!

Martin Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 There must be some humour in this somewhere. After all that referees striking, foreign officials coming and going, lying to israelis, conspiracies n all that - The games postponed by the weather. Hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East_Stand_Al Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Newcastle Game gets the go ahead, I'm no expert but I'd hazard a guess they've had as much if not more snow than central Lanarkshire. I was out and about yesterday and the main roads were fine, all ths shopping areas were busy too. A wee bit of snow and we grind to a halt, why is it that countries such as Canada and the Scandinavian nations cope with huge snowfalls without disruption and we can't deal with maybe a foot of the white stuff ?

Jay Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm happy, I couldn't be arsed going to the game today anyway. But I'd prefer it if it had been a frozen pitch. The idea that football fans are so stupid they can't be expected to make their way to a football stadium without hurting themselves because there's a bit of snow and ice is a fucking joke.

Andy_P Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 A wee bit of snow and we grind to a halt, why is it that countries such as Canada and the Scandinavian nations cope with huge snowfalls without disruption and we can't deal with maybe a foot of the white stuff ? I have some sympathy with the councils on this. Canada and Scandanavia can cope with it because they know its coming and the likely volumes year in, year out like night follows day. In Scotland it could be for an hour, a day, a week or a month anytime between November and April. There was talk last week we would get snow here on Wednesday - it didn't arrive until Friday night. You simply can't legislate 100% for where, when and what in volumes snow is going to fall, and when it does everybody and their dug expects their streets done. 4000 folk going to the fitba, 96 year old Mrs Miggins going for her bread and milk, Tam coming home from a night shift. Everybody all wants their own situation sorted and sometimes with the best will in the world it just isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Does anyone really want to go out and watch fitba in that ? Put your fire on crack open a beer and sit and watch the Sunday fitba all day with a coupon on. You might even win some dough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
