Rodgers criticises state of Tynecastle Pitch.

[Keith_M]

Embarrassing was the word he used.


Apparently they even let the grass grow too long to try to stop the other teams being able to play.

Home team try to gain advantage by preparing their own pitch as they want it! Rodgers is a moaning Dick.

[Bostonhibby]

The length of the grass at tinpot park has always been a factor in why they prefer to sign very tall players.

It's more embarrassing that they feel the need to alter the pitch to get a result as they are so bad. Hibs kept the pitch short and watered it which obviously suits Celtic but we were confident in our ability to beat them

Yep - perhaps along the lines of -

As I awake and look around me and see the four sh*t stands that surrround me
I realise, I was only there at Tynie
Oh there is Budge and there's a sad ol Levein
On and on we'll sleep till full-time
As we play upon the long long grass in Gorgie

They’re entitled to do it, but the pitch is a farce. Between how embarrassingly small it is and the fact they keep the grass long they are trying every trick in the book to try and stop a football match breaking out.

Hey he’s one of your own isn’t he?

And Rodgers has a point - Tynecastle pitch is poor.

I think that’s fair enough when it comes to how much you water it but having the length of the grass too long is a bit different. It should be a standard requirement and if it’s too long the spfl should insist on it being cut again.

You can’t standardise how dry it is but the length of the grass could be, I’m sure we’ve all played on a pitch with grass too long at some point and it makes it impossible.

I never saw the game today so can’t say how bad it was though.

Nothing wrong with it, they could still play football on it. More than entitled to adjust your own pitch to gain an advantage as long as it's within the rules.

It’s kind of low though and just a wee bit desperate.

All players should be given as good a playing surface as possible in a professional sport.

Not much difference.

[Sioux]

The reason the grass is long is to suit the hoofball style. When the ball comes down in disnae bounce so high

[Golden Bear]

There are plenty of teams who play on pitches with no grass during the winter months!

Piggery Park is a place I refuse to go but as a matter of interest is the playing surface that much smaller than ER or for that matter any of the other better Clubs?

It’s 5m shorter and 4m narrower than ER. It equates to a full 18 yard box and then some smaller area wise.

He sounds fair-minded enough about it, just saying it's not conducive to football:

Whatever, it didn't do Hearts much good.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Rodgers is a knob. Madrid have been known to mess with the pitch ahead of el classico because of Barca's superior passing game.

Any advantage we can get over the opposition I'd expect us to take

It nearly benefited his side in the first half after a ball over the top fell kindly to dembele after an awkward bounce for Souttar but he hit the roof of the net with his shot

[hibbyfraelibby]

Alloa did the same with their plastic pitch. Narrowed it significantly in our first season down.

[007]

They are entitled to set up their pitch as sh*te as possible to match their sh*te type of "football" but equally the opposition are entitled to say the pitch is sh*te and fits with their "style".

Must be utterly depressing having a season ticket for a team who are so open about the fact they avoid playing football at all costs.

Indeed.
