Another embarrassment Mark Stewart, Handling, Froxylias are out, Nade just getting back to his best (almost). Maybe we're needing a wee rest?

Another embarrassment I'm not sure calling games off based on weather forecasts is the best idea. It would've been nice if we'd publicised a pitch inspection at 0900 or something - but ultimately I don't have an issue with it being carried out later in the morning to give the game the best possible chance of going ahead.

LogieLivi Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm not entirely convinced that putting plastic sheeting down onto a pitch actually would stop it from freezing underneath.But I'm not a scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Wednesday would do me nicely. Enough time to get home after work, pack my case for Germany and then head out to the rearranged fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is exactly what happened. Had it been called off at 8.30am there would have been a ritual chorus demanding to know why the pitch wasn't given every chance. Everyone knows that the stand side is particularly difficult as it doesn't get the sun so in all honesty the postponement was inevitable, it is the timing that has become the issue. As for the covers, these were never ever designed as pitch insulation; they are bales of plastic matting someone acquired from somewhere, and as Dumbarton Rock pointed out yesterday there is no guarantee that they wouldn't disintegrate as soon as they were lifted. And that's always assuming that the two dozen volunteers we keep every winter in a cupboard were available to leap into action. Chill people, and enjoy watching 'Ice Station Zebra' on TCM at 2.30 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbarton Rock Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 They defo knew yesterday a pitch inspection would be cert this morning. The fact they kept quiet about it and never let u guys know I find totally bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when a team took two hours to lay the covers in very moderate wind, the wind was still an issue. clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeko Green Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I am beyond seething. No chance we only knew there was an inspection required at 11am (15 mins before it took place). Give folk a heids up at least if it's in doubt. Ach at least it was a nice morning for a drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I’m really hoping our boys can shake the flu off by Tuesday, after that today, looked very lethargic and lacked any real edge. Given Dumbarton have been a bogey side for us in recent years this has all the makings of a home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What's up with Alexander? Given the fact that we haven't scored in our last two games having a second choice 'keeper in our opponents' net would be a nice wee boost. Not that it helped today mind you.
