Everyone I know who went to Rugby Park said it was rubbish. The teams were very evenly matched. Thats why it was a poor game. Then your guy took a dive and screamed as if he had a broken leg , got Dicker sent off for a nothing tackle, then he jumped up and sprinted off You then scored a lucky goal off your thug up fronts head Nothing to do with pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they say it doesn't mean they are correct, just ask Jesus. No, and that's not part of my rationale for opposing the pitches. It would be if medical professionals were convinced that the pitches cause more incidents than grass. But at the moment, my objection is a footballing one.

C4mmy31 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hopefully the Rugby Park one gets replaced next summer, thou its dependant on our Project Brave facility being ready in time. Tbh, I won't lose any sleep should we have to play on it again next season, anything that gives the opposition something else to factor into there visit can only give us further advantage at home.

I regard myself an expert in the matter, so there's my proof. Industry professionals. I would think that's quite obvious. I listen to engineering professionals on matters of engineering. I listen to football professionals on matters of football. While there is no uniformity of opinion, it is clear that the tendency is for those at the top end of the game to be against artificial pitches, with most of those for them employed by clubs that use them. That's good evidence for reaching a conclusion. How many people say something? What is their background? What is their interest or bias in the discussion? Applying those questions, it is clear that footballing consensus is for grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've used comments from coaches and players slating artificial surfaces. I'm pointing out that they often speak bollocks about such surfaces and have used 'injuries' as an example of them speaking said bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but professional footballers and football coaches are experts on how football is played and on conditions for playing it. They are not experts on injuries. For example, I could tell you about the best room for doing my job in terms of convenience and suitability. But I couldn't tell you what kid of seats should be in the room to protect people's backs or what kind of lighting is best for avoiding headaches. It's not my area of expertise. That is the crucial point you are missing. And it's a very simple one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Always wonder about these discussions, there's a difference between artificial and grass pitches, but you also get differences between grass pitches themselves. You'll never play at 12 identical pitches over the course of a season, so this "home side has an advantage" mantra seems a bit pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it benefit the home team, if they're playing on the same surface? Sounds like something a supporter of a club with an embarrassing away record would say.

No. I find it baffling that you are confused. Footballers and football coaches are the best people to judge what is and isn't an appropriate surface for doing their job. Do you disagree?

But you're using flawed logic to make that point. Footballers are experts when it comes to playing football. They are not experts when it comes to injuries or to the laws of football. Therefore, it makes logical sense that we should listen to their views on playing surfaces, but take their views on the causes of injuries with a pinch of salt. If medical professionals began to criticise artificial pitches in the same numbers are footballing professionals, then that would be noteworthy. But I don't use that as a reason for opposing artificial pitches. I, like most professionals, think they are rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
