Monkey socks Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If it was the pitch then every player would have landed on their arse at some point during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were trying to play quite intricately with the McLennan, Anderson and wright cutting in and out, but as you say it seemed quite often when they turned tightly they slipped over. Anderson's injury looked wholly to do with trying to turn sharply on that abomination of a pitch. It's simply impossible to play 'normal' football on that kind of artificial surface. You just have to adapt accordingly and hope it all goes well on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get all defensive about your pitch. I love it. We’ve played on it once and won once. What’s not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s not to like.I played on the pitch last week and I've got to say I was incredibly impressed.Yes the ball doesn't bounce as well, but being a fat b*****d and usually playing on artificial surfaces in 5s etc, where every joint in my body and legs are like rocks for days afterward, I was completely fine afterwards.It is a little slippery mind you but it genuinely feels like playing on grass.

The majority of injuries on synthetic surfaces are caused by unsuitable boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people get hung up on the aesthetic vs performance. Some of the grass pitches are already wearing a bit thin - I’ll not hear anyone tell me that the ball is bouncing consistently in areas that are changing (over the course of the season). Hoping to get a game on it myself. Heard it’s quite reasonable to hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I thought the pitch was fine, thought it was a lot better than Killie and Hamilton which plays a lot slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
