EdinburghLivi Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It's a complete nonsense. We played much better football last year away on artificial pitches than at Almondvale (which turned into a bog around the turn of the year). The same people blindly moaning about artificial pitches will be the ones complaining when games are called off or descend into constant long balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'never seen a good game on one ' is a belter. Just blatant bullshit. No one ever calls them out on it though. See the time we outnumbered you at your ground, the 3-4 game when we never won the league, was your pitch plastic then? I thought that was a cracking game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it it is. I just saw a headline on the BBC Old Firm website earlier and was having a quick check in here to see how much of the programme had been devoted to it. You know the routine. Somebody Old Firm says something, anything, and their BBC outlet takes it on and makes the usual mountain out of the molehill. I genuinely don't know why people still actually listen to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 County suffered 3 injuries on grass yesterday, two of them non-contact. They pointed to several studies on the show that showed no obvious difference in injury rates. It's fucking baffling. Fair play to the guy from the testing company who basically said that by the pundits saying the top flight shouldn't have plastic pitches but lower league clubs should that they're saying top flight player welfare is more important than that of lower league players. Wish they'd made more of that nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 My favourite part, was someone, I think McFadden, saying words to the effect of 'the problem is when players are used to training and playing on grass then have to switch to astroturf after so long on grass.' Bearing in mind that this discussion was due to Rangers player Jamie Murphy getting injured yesterday - Rangers, of course, have no artificial pitches at their training ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bizarre agenda against artificial pitches has been ongoing for years 59 minutes ago, flood said: the artificial pitch crap was obviously only because a poor sevco player got injured yesterday. I tuned in late, but did they compare the poor sevconian injury to Christophe Berras injury last week on that fatal "grass" stuff that some clubs are introducing? I would bet any money that Berra would be out longer than the sevconian ...Probably all start of an celtic/sevco agenda to move to EPL to escape these killer pitches...

Mind you, Kirk Broadfoot also nearly blinded himself making scrambled eggs in a microwave so they're maybe not the sharpest tools in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You also had Broadfoot stating that all pitches in the MLS are artificial surfaces. Only 16 proper grass pitches out of 23. Unfortunately none of them picked up on his error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
