allgers 735 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Mr Warburton just takes it in his stride, "it's all about Rangers" he comments when pressed by the gutter press, some managers avoid the trap, others can't keep their traps shut.

What they have done is wrong but the rules allow it so fair enough. It the SFA rule that needs changed We should still hump them though.

If you're style of play is compact and organised.... a tight pitch will suit you more If you're style of play is fast and expansive... a big pitch will suit you more You should be allowed to change your pitch size at the start of the season to what you think might suit your style best. However, you shouldn't be allowed to change it to make it harder for the opposition or change it halfway through a season. Reducing the pitch width by 10m, makes the pitch area smaller by somewhere in the region of 900m2-1000m2 Put that into perspective, you're typical 3 bed council house has about 45m2 of floor space on each floor.

Agree mate, halfway through a season against us is a bit dodgey to change it, there should be a 'window' each season, like the transfer window where that's the only time you can change pitch size, the SFA are probably not on the pulse with the rules regarding it if the cup draw is something to go by Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Worldie goal Bale scored against Bartra? Where he used the entire width of the pitch to outrun and smoke him?

SasaPapacLoyal 348 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Don't see the problem with it tbh. As long as their pitch still lies within the max and min values. Should be allowed to change it on a game by game basis. There is meant to be a home advantage Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietspam 733 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I still expect the team to go out and pump them. It is a bit odd that this is allowed to happen mid season, but that is no excuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,728 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Have heard it's narrowed 10 yards down one side and remains the same at the other. Hope MW puts McKay and MOH down the spacious side to capitalise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 look the other end of the stick is we have better defenders than them, they have a lot less area to cover when defending against the 1 or 2 Alloa players who make it across the half way line.
