He might be 6'4", not that it seemed to matter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that height isn’t necessarily a relevant factor for defenders. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,732 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Just back in from game.First away game I’ve been to in a long time. Disappointed at result but I genuinely believe these plastic pitches make the game a lottery. Just ur luck the way the ball bounces whether for or against you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it previously....how come this pitch is completely different from Killie's and Accies? If you are going to have these pitches it should be the same pitch throughout surely? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that 99.99% of the time the ball was not sticking. Ejaria frustrated me so much. he twisted and turned then he turned and twisted, then he twisted and turned, then he turned and twisted etc.etc. etc. All that ended with a back or sideways pass. He had one good pass that almost got Tav in but that was it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we almost invite these balls into the box by giving away free kicks in stupid places is more worrying for me. The motherwell game should have been wake up call These teams play for that; no team is going to stop those free-kicks -- hell, anywhere on the pitch and they'll lump it into the box! WE need to be better at winning the aerial battles when they do come in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plastic grass cannot stand up on it's own that is why they are full of crumbed rubber to hold up the grass. As I said in my preview they are under a lot of suspicion to be a cause of cancer. It was a common denominator in a number of kids who got cancer. It has not been proven but they are under high suspicion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
