Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pitch inspection at St Mirren park at 11:30. Â The weather seems to conspire against us. Â Heavy rain right up to KO could prove somewhat problematic. Â The club will be doing its utmost to get the game on. Probably need the money, especially with no game for another 3 weeks!!

chummy Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 If this keeps up, could be struggling, its hammering down in mwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Townsley accused us of harassing his family among other things. He was just a dick ! Â The abuse players and fans got at that time was completely out of order. In fact it was disgraceful. Â Mark Reynolds was an excellent player for us, better than many people are prepared to acknowledge, who spent a long time at Motherwell and was one of the guys that was responsible for turning us into a solid Top 6 side which hadn't previously been the case and who was more or less shown the door by the club for a cheque from down south. Â Sure if he goes in late or scores a goal you can boo him all you want but I think turning players into hate figures, especially great servants for the club which I think Reynolds was, is completely wrong. Â During the 90 minutes he's an opposition player and I'm not saying for a minute he should be treated any different from Considine or Langfield, but that's kind of the point. No one will be shouting abuse at either of those players unless they do something worthy of it. Â There will be players who leave a club under a cloud, but most don't and Mark Reynolds certainly didn't so what's the problem? Most former players deserve respect from fans and Mark Reynolds deserves respect more than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 If the game goes ahead will it last the full 90 forecast predicting this all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just seen pictures of the pitch.... Â There are 20 people working on it as we speak. Looks playable just now. But another 3-5 hours of rain is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm sure it's been covered , did they not tweet about a rat underneath the cover ? Looked like a hedgehog in the picture I saw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 If the game does go ahead, who will benefit most from the condition? Both teams seem to like to play on the break but if the park is going to hold the ball up then we could be looking at both managers setting up their teams in unusual formations. Personally I think the bad weather could effect us more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 The refereee or someone in an SFA uniform is certainly out walking about on the pitch and has his mobile phone glued to his ear. No standing water anywhere. Covers seem to have done their job. Can't help feeling that the pitch will be in a dreadful state after the 90 minutes. Looks like it will cut up badly.

milo Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm sure Reynolds wanted to leave when he did to ensure Motherwell got a fee for him. Apart from that I agree with everything Reynolds related that Ya Beezer posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Sure will cut up. Will look like a ploughed field come full time. Now much we can do about it. At least it will have a few weeks to recover to some effect.

NottsMFC Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Sorry for lack of updates, it's literally been all hands to the pump (including the people who usually update twitter)... Â Referee had an inspection and is happy for the groundstaff to keep working on the pitch. As long as the rain stays off, all should be good. Â From @MotherwellFC Â Â Well done to everyone working hard to try & get the game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Coming into Motherwell now and it's dry so looks like it'll be game on. Just hope we get a result or we'll be cursing those who helped get it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Forecast is for showers with maybe 1mm of rain. Not much - hopefully the pitch will stand up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I take it Vigurs is injured? That's a bit of a blow. Â I don't think I'm alone in thinking Anier should be starting with either Faddy or Sutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 With you on that one milo if Anier is fit i'd start him today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsMFC Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Going to switch myself off from the world so can watch it on Alba later without knowing the score.

Judge Jules Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm in work at the moment but have been glued to my phone all game reading live text updates on the bbc website and when that goal went in it was like being pysically kicked in the baws. If i was offered a point at 3 o'clock i'd have took it but to lose a goal that late makes it feel like a defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
