Ajja, see my earlier post.....Killie didn't want this game played in my opinion >:(

It'll be interesting to see how many junior games are played in Ayrshire today ???

Looks like the Juniors are struggling to get any games off the ground: http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96840

However a supposed elitist league shouldnae be comparing themselves to the fucking juniors.  The SPL make clubs jump through ridiculously expensive hoops to get into the league, which has resulted in many going into administration, yet long time members get away with shit like this.

Apparently they can't use their undersoil heating at night due to the noise.  Surely the fail this SPL rule then:

 

 

So what I said yesterday was true then? What a joke. Even my Killie mate can't believe it. He even travelled from Aberdeen especially for the game!

Yeah I read that one. They must have neglected to turn the heating on and whether this is due to forgetfulness/it being broken/noise pollution laws/deliberate sabotage they need to be taken to the fucking cleaners. ITS JUST NOT CRICKET and its ruined my fucking afternoon  :hammer:

Motherwell v Hearts also in doubt.  Pitch inspection to follow.

SPL = Joke league.  >:D I was looking forward to listening to the game online while I was working :(

Fuck me, if the Pittodrie groundstaff can get the rugby on in Aberdeen after the weather that weekend, surely there's no feckin excuse for any other clubs?  Interesting to see what's said about this on the radio today.

No doubt the backlash would be much more severe if it was the old firm who were providing kili's opposition today.

The Scottish Premier League is to launch an "urgent and serious inquiry" into the postponement of Kilmarnock's match with Aberdeen on Saturday.

 

The Rugby Park surface failed a 1000GMT pitch inspection, which was called on Friday afternoon.

 

It remains unclear if the problem at Kilmarnock was caused by a frozen or waterlogged pitch or if there were issues with the undersoil heating. 

All SPL clubs are required to have working undersoil heating, but a problem at Rugby Park led to the postponement of Saturday's match.

 

"We're obviously extremely disappointed that the pitch isn't fit for purpose," said an SPL spokesman.

 

"We have rules in place with regards to clubs having undersoil heating to deal with weather like this and there will be an urgent and serious inquiry as to why the undersoil heating didn't do its job."

 

If Kilmarnock are found to be in breach of SPL rules, they could face sanctions, which include the possibility of a fine.

 

Aberdeen, whose players and fans faced a four-hour journey to get to the game, were unhappy with the timing of the inspection.

 

"We need to have a balance in terms of giving the game the best chance to go ahead and making a call as early as possible," the SPL spokesman added.

 

"The time for the pitch inspection was agreed yesterday."

 

throw us a few scraps to ease the backlash

spend a few weeks sitting about doin nothing

then sweep this whole thing under the carpet

 

Did Partick actually get done last season when they had a game called off because the rugby team 'forgot' to switch on the undersoil heating on the friday?

would be astounded if anything happens

I can't believe this!

 

I always look forward to our games with a mixture of exceitement and trepidation, but I still look forward to them. Useless Killie cunts.

 

:hammer:

motherwell v hearts also off

no shock there

I suppose there will be no punishment for these amateurs, again

Absolute joke. Killie and Motherwell should get strung up for this.

Killie apparently blaming it on the 'long term' weather forecast. These fuckers should concede the points, useless cunts. >:(

Booooooooo. This is just not on for an allegedly 'SPL' club. At least it looks like there might be an inquiry

EDIT: D'oh! Apologies for double linkage. Looks like i shouldn't have taken so long to make my post- serves me right for not checking the post before me!

it was all the met office's fault ::)

 

Kilmarnock appear to be blaming weather forecasts, suggesting that overnight frost had taken them by surprise.

 

"It was decided to postpone today's fixture at Rugby Park due to parts of the pitch being found to be frozen following a prolonged period of frost in Kilmarnock, contrary to earlier long range weather forecasts," said a club statement.

it was all the met office's fault ::)

 

 

If that's the case then why did they ask for a pitch inspection in the first place?

McGhee on the radio blaming 'global warming'. Fuck me, what a muppet. Warming=frozen now does it ?

If that's the case then why did they ask for a pitch inspection in the first place?

They didn't want to play today. 

They didn't want to play today.
