Allan Heron Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 lol Some traditions have to be maintained. I'll be happy to pop up to Firhill at 4 and give the pitch a cursory glance and declare it fit for play. Referee can then call it off at quarter past seven. I think we should just have one match with Falkirk - winner takes all at a neutral venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I see Pressley is at it again... quote from the papers this morning... He said: "We are very aware the pitch is in terrible condition. Thistle are well organised and difficult to break down - they are also very physical and we know how difficult it will be." Physical?! According to the programme from Saturday, his team have had significantly more red/yellow cards this season than us. Ref's must be going easy on us! He was muttering about a "lack of respect" towards him at Cappielow on Saturday. No doubt it will be someone else's fault when he gets his jotters at the end of the season. Delusional as well as egotistical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delusional as well as egotistical. My attempt to avoid work has led me to run a statistical analysis of the yellow and red cards received by both teams in the 30 league games played using an independant t-test. Thistle average 1.27 yellows per game, with Falkirk receiving 1.9. The probability of these values being similar is 0.044 (less than 0.05 means they are significantly different, i.e. this difference is not down to chance). For red cards the probability value is 0.398, indicating no difference. This will be caused by the rarity of red cards, so even though Falkirk have had 4 reds (0.67 per game) to our 2 (1.33 per game), there is no difference due to the number of games where no reds were shown, 26 and 28 respectively. While I collected this data, I noticed Twaddle seemed to be booked in a lot of games, though I didn't note how many times. We haven't received a card of any colour in 5 games, and have only received 2 bookings in the last 8 games we've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabTheJag Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 FIngers crossed this is off, I want to watch the Champions League tonight. Im praying this game is called off, I've been coughing my guts up since Friday. I was mad enough to still attend Saturday's match, but I really dont think its wise for me to go tonight when its going to be cold and wet. With the state our pitch was in before this heavy rain, surely theres no chance of this game going ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Maybe the tatties are beginning to ripen, and the groundsman doesn't want them trampled at this delicate stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Absolutely stoating off the ground now, it's bad enough to delay my post-lunch snout so it must be bad enough to cancel the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Can't see this game being on somehow, unless we raid another beach before kick off. However I see Paul Cairney is back in the squad should the match go ahead. That's got to be a plus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Heron Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 If the game is off tonight, maybe they'll attempt three games in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article says Cairney hasn't "kicked a ball in five weeks"; I can assure you it's been way longer than that. If the rain in Maryhill is anything like it is in Coatbridge currently, the game will be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I see Paul Cairney is back in the squad should the match go ahead. That's got to be a plus? Paul Cairney of early 2009/10 season back in the squad is a plus. Paul Cairney since then back in the squad is a terrifying prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryHell Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm pretty sure that even the club are expecting this to be off tonight - usually there are match details and a preview of the game on the OS, but nothing yet today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdwishbone Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 If it's off tonight. It looks like it will either be Tuesday 12th April or Tuesday 26th April. Working on the idea that the SFL have a little common sense!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Heron Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I hope it is off tonight now. I've now totally convinced myself that I'll be doing other things this evening. Edited April 5, 2011 by Allan Heron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Willjag Posted April 5, 2011 Members Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Falkirk's two regular centre backs were doubtful for tonight, so they're probably happy the game is off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Passenger Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Falkirk's two regular centre backs were doubtful for tonight, so they're probably happy the game is off as well. McLean was missing the game due to a ban. Will that now kick in on Saturday, or carry to the rescheduled game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
