Ozblue 4,331 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I was just reading the SFA have allowed Alloa to narrow their pitch 5 yards on each side of the park. Apparently it was allowed in January to narrow it by 10 yards which I find incredible halfway during a season. The SFA are a fucking total disgrace.

Moody Blue Legend 61,409 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I remember Souness got Ibrox narrowed for a game in Europe. Don't see much of an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't agree with it then and I don't agree with it now. Pitch size should remain constant over the course of a season; If it's going to be changed then do it before the season commences Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I dont get why this is an issue, its the same width for every player on the pitch, and they're professionals or at least our players are. I dont see the width of a pitch or the type of grass or the weather as any kind of excuse whatsoever for anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule set by uefa is your pitch size must be declared at the start of the season and cannot be altered after that Not sure why the SFA have allowed this to happen, I am sure there must be a good reason for it.

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 No problem with that. If the pitch is still within permitted dimensions then so what. It might mean they are going to try and get something from the game. Then again if they are narrowing the pitch AND are going to pack 10 men behind the ball they are a bunch of wank stains!
