Presumably just makes it more hard wearing. I assume you still need good drainage etc.

The latest hybrids are only about 5% synthetic. There are ones in England I didn't realise were hybrid until I read the list. Wembley and the Etihad for example.

A lot of the big English clubs have hybrid pitches (Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Everton etc.) as well as European clubs like Barca. If Hearts' uses the same method (which is 100% grass meshed with plastic fibres) it should be good.

I thought they were using hybrid pitches in the world cup - which are basically 95% grass. The kind of thing they use in the English leagues.

From the article I read about the pitches (in The Scotsman, I think) it did say Livi was laying plastic. In a separate article Fraser Wishart was saying, in the top flight at least, the league should maybe start listening to players and only play on grass.

I'm sure you're right - I was just copying from The Scotsman article. I have certainly never seen a plastic pitch that plays anything like grass regardless of how many Gs it has.

Certainly sounds like a replacement. Whether Carson will be sold in the summer or in January, it seems likely he will be gone sooner rather than later.

Getting an early look at one of the finalists, no doubt.

It's the football shirt equivalent of those optical illusion pictures:

Accies was actually ranked the worst pitch in Scotland - not just in the top flight. They are replacing it with a new 4G effort.

Having worked with many GQ fashionistas in the past, I don't know any of them that would be seen dead in anything as common as a football shirt.

That McGuire is replacing Aldred (or any other of the back 3 we sell in the summer)?

While it's an impressive total, Nigera has a population of around 192 million alone, so even if it was only Nigerians that bought it, that's 1.5% of them. The equivalent of Scotland selling 80,000 in a year we qualified for the world cup.

This is what it's all about - can't see Liam McLeod ever doing this.

Got the proper Mexican commentators covering the Scotland game tonight - much better than the BBC Scotland coverage. They make the warm up sound exciting. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! etc.

All possibilities. In general I'd be very surprised to see Campbell move in the summer. If he goes to a better team at this stage, he probably won't be getting first team football and another season of regular games will speed his development.

Or Cadden is leaving.

Dot Counters are just millenial Train Spotters.

Goan, Goan, Gone.

He's played 30+ games every season before that, so "mainstay" seems accurate.

No straight lagers - only schende.

If it's alopecia (which it appears to be) implants won't work. Plus, it might grow back on its own.

Do the compensation rules change when you hit a certain age? I notice Sibbald is 23 now.

1 - 0 to Scotland.
