colinstein 294 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 the first inspections are usually done by local referees. They aren't going to call it off. It's when the match ref turns up usually a couple of hours before the game that any action is taken 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Hearts, Partick and the yahoos home games are all postponed already. I feel for fans leaving early due to Forth Road bridge situation and knowing there's an inspection to come when most will be en route. Also worried about the game being played in conditions which are bound to be levelling. Been so sunny and spring like down here in the soft South that the birds and the bees think it is spring,but perhaps you don't want to read that....

ian1964 10,617 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 SCOTLAND is feeling the force of Storm Desmond this morning with flooding and severe winds affecting large parts of the country. The Met Office has an amber "be prepared" warning in place for Saturday and the early part of Sunday across the Strathclyde, Central, Tayside and Fife, Lothian and Borders and south west of Scotland areas. It has warned that up to 200mm (7.8inches) of rain could fall on high ground. Roads have been closed throughout the country as the storm caused road chaos, landslides and flooding. A jack-knifed FedEx lorry hit the central reservation on the M8 at Bathgate, West Lothian, closing lanes in both directions. A landslide from a hill above Altura, in the Highlands, dumped at least 200 tonnes of debris on the A82 between Spean Bridge and Invergarry overnight. A 15-mile (24km) stretch of the A82 was closed as a result of the landslide and several areas of flooding between Invergloy and Letter Finlay. A geotechnical engineer was dispatched to gauge the safety of commencing a clear-up operation, and traffic was diverted via the A86 and A9. Trunk road operator Bear Scotland's team were out throughout the night dealing with numerous issues of flooding, debris on the road and fallen trees across the North West. There was also flooding on the A85 at Loch Lubhair, south of Crianlarich. The road was passable with care but the water level of the loch has continued to rise. The A924 slip road into Pitlochry from the A9 is closed due to the River Tummel bursting its banks. Motorists have been advised to use alternative routes into Pitlochry. All other roads remain open but motorists have been warned of further heavy rain today and surface water issues across the network. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
