The number of really good games of football on plastic pitches

[Carheenlea]

Still zero.

The farcical bounce when the Kilmarnock player was looking like being clean through making him look foolish summed up the joke surface. Worked in our favour for that instance, but ultimately it’s not a surface that’s conducive to an entertaining game of football.

Have never seen a good game yet on one.

They shouldn’t be allowed in the top league. End of.

I remember when Falkirk failed to get promoted because their stadium failed the SPLs criteria, I believe if you have this playing surface you should be under the same scrutiny from the SFA

Hate those surfaces. I've not seen us play well on them once.

[flash]

They are an abomination.

Nothing comes naturally on them whatsoever.

One hundred per cent. It's embarrassing really for top flight football.

That's because it's artificial :wink::greengrin

Oh aye there is that.

They can, but apparently it’s an “inappropriate goal celebration” and a yellow card.

Sorry to say it but our game is goosed as long as the top division is populated by teams so close to the financial precipice they need to hire out their first team pitches to anyone who will pay them and avoid losing by whatever means necessary.

McInnes could bore any crowd on any budget but we've a league full of teams set up to stop any semblance of football breaking out, minimise the number of minutes actually playing and prevent the opposition getting any momentum.

It's really wearing. It's a poor product and the sad thing is these clubs don't draw in the local punters anyway. We can all name the culprits. Now, before the usual "you can't blame them" "look at the gulf in resources" etc ...is this really what we want for the good of our national game?

It IS our job as a club to counter that but there has to be a national look at the direction that the game is travelling in. Now that VAR has brought another inconvenience/frustration/ poorly executed intervention to put off the punters in the stadium what are the powers that be going to do to counter it?

The first thing we can do is insist all Premier teams play on grass. Minimum standard of surface. If we can dictate size and seating structure of stadia, we can surely set about improving playing surfaces to encourage a better product.

Everyone has the chance to get rid last season. We didn't take it.

Everyone has the chance to get rid last season. We didn't take it.I missed / forgot about that. Did we vote on whether to abolish them?
