potty trained Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 The game needs to be played, I'll be pleasantly surprised if both our games v Cowden take place this week. It's pretty unreasonable to expect a team going for the title to possibly have to play; Saturday, Monday, Thursday, Saturday. Which is a real possibility should anymore matches be called off. Don't expect any 'favours' from the SFL though and winning the title (hopefully) will be all the sweeter considering the amount of games we'll need to fit in. Â The game doesn't need to be played. The 2 midweeks between the Falkirk, Dunfermline and Dumbarton games are still free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Â Â So there's every possibility this thread will be getting merged with the cowdenbeath - game off, thread? Hmm, yes. Â A pitch inspection more than 24 hours before kick off can't be good news. If it was looking OK at the moment or even borderline then surely there would be no point in inspecting until tomorrow afternoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Could we manage to win the title without actually ever getting to play this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Could we manage to win the title without actually ever getting to play this game? 35 games - we only need 35 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Could we manage to win the title without actually ever getting to play this game? Â And the SFL would say we hadn't completed our fixtures, deduct us enough points to give Morton the title and probably relegate us at the same time. That is the way Thistle do things after all. *SIGH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 So is it ok to do it in the 2nd Division. Brechin are playing their home games at Forfar just now. Â The difference is they had four games in hand and are pushing for the play-offs. Cowdenbeath are not and only have one game (against us) to catch up on, and there are two mid-week slots left in the season. It was Brechin's pitch that was the problem, and there's nothing wrong with Cowdenbeath's pitch other than there's a lot of snow falling on it and they don't have USH when it freezes.

Snow seems to have picked up in the half-an-hour I've been awake. Hopefully they can help clear it again if it's not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

read'n'yell Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Looking good if that indeed is live. Â Hopefully the whole "5 yards of the pitch is unplayable" rubbish doesn't make an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 It was worse earlier on. Let's hope the snow is as on/off as it was earlier and it's not on for a prolonged period of time. Just over three and a half hours until inspection time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
