Bull's-eye Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 So Cowdenbeath wanted it played....... interesting. Cowdenbeath director Tom Ewing believes their Central Park pitch was playable, despite their Scottish Cup tie against Rangers being postponed. Friday's fourth-round match was called off because of a frozen pitch after an inspection by a local referee three hours before it was due to start. "The referee's made his decision and we've got to abide by that, but we are hugely disappointed," Ewing said. "We didn't call the referee in. We felt the pitch was fine." Cowdenbeath manager Gary Bollan added: "The decision was taken there and then. Come kick-off time, I think it would have been playable. "If it was Berwick Rangers, the game would have gone ahead in my opinion." Watch: Too fast and furious at Central Park The 4,300-capacity ground was sold out for a match due to be shown live on TV, with Steven Gerrard's Rangers playing the first game after the Premiership's winter break. Cowdenbeath felt they had done enough to make sure there was no postponement - but the game will now be played on Wednesday, 30 January. Volunteers helped the League Two club lay protective covers over the playing surface on Wednesday, and they were removed on the day of the match. "We were confident that the pitch was good," Ewing told BBC Scotland. "Some of the Rangers staff arrived and the next thing there were discussions with the SFA and they wanted to send the referee along. "It's their game and we've got to abide by that. It was a local referee that was called out and in our view it was only a precaution. "We played in the Betfred Cup a couple of games here after a long, dry summer and I would absolutely say the pitch was harder then that it is now."

RudiHMFC Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Auchinleck v Ayr could be a decent game tomorrow, on TV too, I watched Auchinleck a couple of months ago and they've got some good players, interested to see how they do up against a championship side.

lauriesrank Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Called this on the winter break thread (couple of months ago I think) that they have it at the wrong time and their would be call offs, coldest time of year is invariably from now to about the 10th of February.

neilnunb Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 At least it means Rangers will come back to a potentially tough game at Rugby Park. Fife derby between Raith and Dunfermline could be good. First time they've met in the cup for almost 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backed Auchinleck @ 14/1 to win Also Auchinleck BTTS @ 20/1 More shocks possible: Raith 11/4 & BTTS & win @ 9/2 Lastly QOS @ 4/1 & BTTS & win @ 15/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Absolutely love this weekend unlike the FA Cup the Scottish Cup hasn't lost any of its magic. Some decent ties this weekend looking forward to the lunchtime game between Auchinleck & Ayr could be a decent and tasty affair. Fancy Queen Of The South to dump Dundee out today, cant see it but would be nice if Elgin knocked Hibs out, tricky tie for Robbie & his Dundee Utd side away at Montrose, Motherwell v Ross County could be a decent game add in the Fife Derby Raith v Dunfermline and Sportscene is on tonight as well so bonus. Not forgetting our game tomorrow would love to see us smash Livi for revenge for last month but will be happy with a scrappy win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
