bennett Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Keeps the Livingston players fresh for their game on Saturday, very thoughtful of referee Steven McLean to think of this. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 From those bbc interviews the players didn't fancy it and went to the ref, who then had another pitch inspection and consulted with the managers. McInnes saying what players say to managers is different to what they say to the officials, ours were all for playing according to Martindale, Aberdeen's weren't, whether they said something different to the ref is up for debate. Anyway, the ref decided starting the game wasn't worth the risk if a player got injured, and game was off. With the Scottish cup games being off it looks like this'll be rearranged for Sunday 31st Jan, so back to back games with Livi and Aberdeen as we play each other away on Wed 3rd Feb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Happily stand corrected. I know the San Siro is always in a state because of the design.All council owned stadia in Italy* are in a state, you get clubs having to ground share mid way through a season because their home is falling apart.*well, the dozen or so in the North I've been to anyway but I can only imagine those in the south are no better. Edit: oh, and the councils over there fucking love a running track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching Steven McLean’s interview on Sportscene, and for the sake of accuracy, McLean said that during the warm ups players from both teams approached him to say that they felt the pitch was unsafe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Cheeze Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Bob Mahelp said: It's the responsibility of the home club, the SPFL and then the referee to make an advance judgement on the state of the pitch. If there was any...any...doubt at all, Livi should have informed the SPFL and had the referee in to look at the pitch at lunchtime by the latest today. But no, the amateur fuckwits waited until Aberdeen travelled, until it pished down as forecast, and until the referee got there before even considering that the pitch was unplayable. We're in serious times. This is a f**k up by Livingston, again. Time for them and the SPFL to take responsibility for this shambles. ^^if only we had some salty tears...

I'd hope a full set of Premiership fixtures is brought forward to 31st January so that the vacated date can be used for the Scottish Cup ties if/when the lower league sides are allowed back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Was sitting in my living room; pies freshly out of the oven; pint of ale sitting by my arm watching a bunch of glum faces shaking their heads and thought "this doesn't look good"; particularly as the alternative was to sit there with my wife watching The Repair Shop". However, all that aside, who thought it was a good idea to kick off a midweek game in January at 7:45 when no fans were travelling and only authorised personnel were allowed into the stadium? Some games previously had kicked off at 6pm which interestingly was apparently when this game was originally approved to go ahead. Secondly, with a amber alert coming in why did they try and press ahead with this. Had the game been played; the Aberdeen squad would have been travelling up the road in a blizzard at night; doesnt sound particularly safe to me. Maybe the conditions were better in Angus; Perthshire and Aberdeenshire but its a bl00dy white-out here. No-one on this forum has any answers so I'm just bumping my gums; however it was a game I was really looking forward to and the weather phuqued up my evening again.
