billyg Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I couldn't go today because I've got an early start , just as well. But how can it take half an hour to tell if a pitch is waterlogged ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WirralSaint Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Collum has made every effort to find a way to call this one off. If they have to abandon games where 95% of pitches are perfect then they'll have to postpone games every week. Seasons ago he shouldn't even have allowed games to start at Motherwell and yet they did nothing. You don't test a parks playability by wandering about for 2 minutes looking for a 1 foot puddle then bouncing the ball in it ...and even then it bounced !!!

Isabella Duke Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I bet we lose the replay and we'll end up in the relegation play off spot at the end of the season as a result of this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 What happens now if its abandoned at this time in the game? Rearranged game of 90 mins which starts at 0-0. Feels worse than a defeat to be honest. We were cruising to 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it feels worse than a defeat but it's a sore one. As you indicated earlier, we would have been 9th tonight as other results went our way.

gc_SMFC Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It feels worse than a defeat. Everyone has the feeling we'll lose the replay as well. At least it was dry leaving the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Simpson Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I understand referees have a hard job to do. However that was an appalling decision. The pitch was in a far better condition when he decided to call it a day than it was in the ten minutes leading up to him walking off. I would have had not qualms had he taken the teams of immediately just after half time, but to keep playing then call the game off when the pitch was in a better state is baffling! On another note…the big puddle under the railway on Murray Street was the icing on the cake…soaking freezing feet to go with a disappointing end to a great performance. A typically Saints day… I really hope we win convincingly in the rearranged game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Saint Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Is it wrong to suggest that Willie Collum is a f**king c**t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Why do so many people think we will lose the replay. County will be coming down the road for a midweek night with even less of a travelling support. a couple of our injured players may well be back and might have a couple more victories under our belts by that time. the players confidence will be up since we proved that the united game was not the start of a slide the positives are all there, but harder to see if you are looking for negatives.i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Shocking decision. I've seen matches played in far worse conditions - usually at Fir Park and Pittodrie. Collum is a despicable c**t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ged62 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It was a total disgrace that he took the time he did, did you notice a couple of times he was throwing ball with a spin on it. Kenny Sheilds said on clyde Collum went about the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 If it was 0,0 at the time we would have said it was right to call it off, were all disappointed that we were 2 up when the ref decided to put a end to it, It was prob the right decision, On another point, how great was to see 4 players from our youth system in the 1st team, well Naismith, Kelly, McLean and McGinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luther G. Presley Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Would this have happened at Ibrox or Parkhead with the home team 2 up, I doubt it very much. Loads of games have been played in much worse conditions than today. Hopefully we make a formal complaint about what happened today, Scottish football really is f**ked to be honest.

zurich_allan Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Absolutely disgraceful decision. The pitch was fine after they spiked and swept it, while the ref was testing it the ball was rolling freely and the ball was bouncing in spite of his throwing the ball in the least representative way that a ball travels during a game that it was physically possible to do. There is 100% certainty that he was looking for an excuse to call the game off. Just shocking all round refereeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penileebud Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think Collum should have given it ago he second time he checked it, but have just drive to Foxbar and back to Penilee with the rain coming down heavy again I am not sure the game would have finished... Anyway let's look at the positives, that's as good and dominant as I have seen us for a good while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windae cleaner Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I couldn't go today because I've got an early start , just as well. But how can it take half an hour to tell if a pitch is waterlogged ? Look at me I'm Willie C The pitch was in better nick than when we started back at half time. When i saw Goodwin moaning at Newton about the ball sticking after he made a mistake. I said to the missus if he doesn't shut up that wee scrote will cancel this. We adapted better than them and i think we would have gubbed them by a fair bit It's written in the stars that County will win the replayed game now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
