Amac9 2,060 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Don't even risk any players who have had history of serious injuries.

Murphy got a nudge from broadfoot just enough for him to change his direction and loose his footing....those parks need water because when they are dry the studs can catch easier than on grass this increases the risk of twists and sprains IMHO dougie76, BridgeIsBlue and WATP-FOREVER 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Nothing we can do but prepare for it just now But long-term these pitches need to be gone. SFA need to grow a set and make a rule that you must have a grass pitch to play in the top flight. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played on the 1st generation astro for close to 20yrs, it was close to playing on concrete with a worn carpet nailed on top....can't be a coincidence I have just had a hip replacement at 47 BridgeIsBlue, dougie76, CoatbridgeBear and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyixi 42 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 not making an excuse for plastic pitches because they should not be allowed but they do exist within our league so we need to play on them. we should be using our plastic pitch at auchenhowie to train on it. these guys are professionals so surely they can practice and not put themselves at any risk.

esquire8 42,386 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 They have no place at this level or 5-6 levels below us. Embarrassing that clubs have them to save pennies. My local team Arbroath don't have one yet have one of the best pitches in Scottish football all season round, and thats only with a part time groundsman with a couple of volunteers when needed. They incompetent bastards at the SFA should have them banned. Jack The Flipper, WATP-FOREVER and Bobby Hume 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're cheap fucks, shouldn't be allowed in the top tier of any league. This should not be a way of saving money - like not having football strips and just having the players use bibs. If you're in line for promotion and you have a plastic pitch, you either invest in a grass one to replace it or the next in line gets your promotion.
