Lassie who presents BT Sport's effort on a Saturday is an absolute wid and a half by the way. Only thing that makes it even vaguely watchable.

the west curve Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I notice that after Sunday playing at Tannadice , Hibs have now two players out with long term knee injuries. If it had happened on 4G I can guess the media’s reporting. The reality though is that it happened on grass so that doesn’t fit into the media’s agenda. I watched the game and the surface looked shocking but no mention of that regarding the players injuries. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO2001 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Does boot choice make a difference regarding injuries ie FG or AG boots, most players I see on 4G seem to go with FG boots rather than AG. Not that you see them normally at that high a level but I think Copa's would be the worst though, rubber on rubber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bladed studs that cause you damage on the 4g stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever there is an injury on an artificial surface, we never hear the end of it, but injuries on grass pitches get no such comments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the west curve Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 A St Mirren player got a bad injury at Ibrox on Wed with no player near him. Once again shows how dangerous these grass pitches can be. The media would be all over this,had it been for example a Celtic player at Rugby Park. Time the media outed these dangerous grass surfaces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It looks as though the Ibrox pitch has claimed yet another victim. Defoe looks as though he got injured on the grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepek 4 tellys Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Celtic player suffers long term knee injury on St Johnstone's grass pitch. Time to ban these dangerous surfaces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The amount of players getting long term injuries now on grass pitches is frightening. Why are the media not reporting this? Wait till a player gets injured on a 4G pitch and the media will have a field day laying the blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The amount of players getting long term injuries now on grass pitches is frightening. Why are the media not reporting this? Wait till a player gets injured on a 4G pitch and the media will have a field day laying the blame. There's an amateur grass pitch that's resulted in five potentially season ending injuries that have been non-contact induced this season. Is it actually the pitch, Given the mild conditions this season, the pitches have been generally soft as shite. Personally, I suspect it's more likely down to players susceptibility to injury than the pitch itself and that particular pitches stats are just an aberration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobby Dossar Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 All about opinions and choices I refuse to go and watch football senior or junior on artificial pitches as a matter of principle Nothing to do with players getting injured as this can happen on any surface ……… Just never seem to see a good game on the surfaces -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
