Imagine a club's pitch was so rutted sandy and churned up that players could easily turn ankles and risk career ending ligament damage.
Player safety was such a concern that games were played with Motherwell's pitch in the condition with random sideways and flat bounces of the ball for a full season.
Yesterday's call off was farcical
Willie Collum's idea of how a ball would be played around in a normal fashion, never mind the fact that players were adjusting for rain and weighting their passes heavier, was just utterly bizarre.
His efforts to play a ball at 4 yard pace and seeing it roll through 20 yards into the box were ridiculous and as for the hugely representative 2 foot high ball toss with backspin into the soggiest area and still seeing a first 2-3 foot bounce. I thought they were joking when the said it was off.
