Flybhoy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The clash of the hoops, red and white v green and white, although we will obviously be in that hideous yellow and black outfit that makes our side look like they've just finished a shift on the tar. A draw and a defeat on plastic this season so far, without pre empting anything or sounding like a whinger these surfaces shouldn't be allowed in top flight football, I cant recall a single decent game i've seen on them, that includes the three in the top flight in Scotland and the handful of games i've seen in the lower leagues. Hopefully a drama free and injury free day at New Douglas Park, 2-0 to the champions with Forrest and Eduoard on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you may have mistaken folk taking amusement in your teams defeat for this angle on it as you are as thick as pig-shit, that might explain it I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you lose two players to bad knee injuries on grass pitches? I don't recall any bad injuries for you on the artificial ones.

cdhafc1874 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Can we not just forfeit this game instead of having to suffer through it? At least then it will only go down as a 3-0 defeat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hopefully the players get out of there alive after playing on the green concrete carpet. 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 And there’s the first cheese munching surrender monkey post.Nope, just realistic having watched 4 years worth of Canning in charge.Especially with the form the Celtic forward line are in.As much as I'd like Accies to get a result I can only see a heavy defeat coming & that brings with it being in our home ground with gloating, glory-hunting barstewards in the away end who actually come from Hamilton.Which is a great way to spend part of the day...

Agree If he twists his ankle on the pitch with no one near him he’ll still go down clutching his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
