8MileBU Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 With the bridge of don v fauldhouse game off tomorrow due to fox holes on the pitch can anyone think of any other odd reasons for games being off 3 or 4 seasons ago Linlithgow Rose had a poor run of form and several injuries and were due to play Bo’ness but called the game off citing a waterlogged pitch despite there being a minimal amount of rain the night before, games having gone ahead at Linlithgow in far worse conditions and also several other games going ahead a mere few miles away. There was also a rumour that posts were made and deleted off of Facebook in which someone walking by Prestonfield had seen the pitch being hosed on the Friday afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Pitch markings being incorrect. A game several years ago at the very start of the season saw the penalty area being lined 12 yards, rather than 18 yards out. Referee spotted it, although both teams were just beginning to warm up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemanwolfpack Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Think I remember a game years ago at Albion Rovers (maybe?) where the ref ref decided to measure the goals and found they were 1inch low at one side and called the game off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 A South Of Scotland game was called off because they could't guarantee player safety.

GNU_Linux Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Ex-junior but Jeanfield had a game postoponed last season as they had 3 (I think) players on international duty with the Scotland futsal team (Perth is the main hub for futsal in Scotland) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Not so much an exact fit for this thread but I remember Bankies played Perthshire in a sectional cup game, about 150 Bankies fans paying £6 in, bought raffle tickets etc and then the next day Perthshire announced they’d just discovered they couldnt run that season and were taking a year out and they absolutely didn’t know before they played us... lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bul2 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 3 or 4 seasons ago Linlithgow Rose had a poor run of form and several injuries and were due to play Bo’ness but called the game off citing a waterlogged pitch despite there being a minimal amount of rain the night before, games having gone ahead at Linlithgow in far worse conditions and also several other games going ahead a mere few miles away. There was also a rumour that posts were made and deleted off of Facebook in which someone walking by Prestonfield had seen the pitch being hosed on the Friday afternoon.A good few tears ago, Linlithgow v Cumnock was postponed a good few times, initially due to frozen pitch.After the weather changed there was a rumour going around that the Rose would try and get the game off again as one of their better players was injured .Cue a man, Cumnock legend to boot, who got a van and a pump and some hoses and went to Linlithgow , with some other guys to pump water away from the ground.Game went ahead and Cumnock won and went into next round of the cupAhhhh memories !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenvohr6 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I knew of an amateur team who had a game postponed as the penalty spots had been stolen. By the manager at dead of night as it was a stag weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The old hose left out and running is most certainly not fiction. I'm not going to name and shame the game I know it happened before. Flooding in the corner nearest the outside tap only. The other one that actually bemused me was when a ref called a game of because the section of the park where the lino ran was flooded and therefore dangerous. 2 points spring to mind. Why they never reversed the quarters the linos usually run. Or he could presumably have reffed without linos as they were not obligatory anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
