What is the weather like in Dumfries? Do they have a plastic pitch? Not that a plastic pitch has prevented recent Livi games being called off....

[Hearts007]

0-2 if that goes ahead

Mackay-Steven doesn’t deserve a start so if he scores it should be from bench

He’ll still more than likely start. 

[Crookie]

0-3 McEneff, Walker, Irving😀

[GinRummy]

About time RN played the 4-3-3 he’s talked about. 0-4 Hearts. QOS are pish.

They're actually on a decent run, 4 wins and a draw from their last 6 games .

So they have. Only looked at their last 3 and had memories of them struggling. We’ll still thump them.

[Sir Gio]

Looking choppy again. If this one was off wouldn't mind

They do have a plastic pitch and I don't think they have had much snow but like Livi it may well freeze up.

As far I know it should be ok.

Travelling back may a bit of a problem though😟

Agree. Much as I want to see us play, 45mph winds can ruin games. 

[Cruyff]

4-3-3 for me

 

                 Gordon 

Smith Popescu Halkett Kingsley 

     McEneff Irving Halliday 

     Kastaneer Boyce Walker 

 

0-3 Hearts 

[Kiwidoug]

This covid disruption is bad enough without weather worries before virtually every game.  Does my heid in.

 

Anyway, bearing in mind how they voted of course,  0-5.

This is what we should go for. 

[HillmanHearts]

Blowing a Gale and a plastic pitch : not a good combo.

Cold as feck - It won’t be pretty.

Good old Scottish fitba !

 

Still looking forward to it mind you 😊

 

 

 

[Barack]

QotS on a decent run...oh, no! However shall we cope?! 😭

 

What's Hearts' run? Event Horizon?

 

Hearts -2. 

[Jambojock9]

No snow in dumfries, i was out golfing today in dumfries

[ShedBoy]

It’s the ‘getting to’ Dumfries that’s the problem 👍🏻

Goal of the season from there surely. 

[Thomaso]

[1971fozzy]

I reckon a win by 2 goals hopefully 

[Kid A]

No snow in Dumfries whatsoever. Will just be absolutely freezing

I thought the Livi game was called off because it would be too difficult to get 8" of snow cleared.

Neilson hasn't strung many consecutive victories together so I expect a battle and tight game again.

Did we feck. Neilson won his first six which included 3 Betfred group games and then lost to Alloa in Betfred second round in 7th game. So he won 6 straight.

[gregzy2k7]

Surely we are due to give someone a pumping soon? Get big gnando and mceneff on from the start in a 442 and hopefully we can press the hell out of them, Of course every time i have felt like that this season we have ending up losing. Here is hoping we will buck the trend this time. 1-3 hearts.

Will be off

6 is still quite a lot.

I just can't see it being on. Makes no difference if there is no snow in Dumfries if our team bus can't travel down.

[TypoonJambo]

Sun but chilly, no snow now until match. M8 and m74 open,whats the issue?

The team bus can get to Dumfries. There is still a scheduled bus service to there running so why couldn't ours make it.

[And he’s not praying!]

I was working in Lockerbie yesterday. Got there and back no problem.

 

Don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to travel, but the weather and travel experts on here will know better I suppose.

Hope you are right but safety will always come first.  I would imagine the scheduled bus you talk about will be like every other bus in the country right now.....empty.  We need to take 2 or 3 buses down due to the obvious reason. Really want the game to be on.

[Dazo]

Nowt wrong with the main roads getting there won’t be an issue.

You name the topic and as sure as death and taxes you will find an expert on it here.

Not meant to be any snow today so hopefully roads in and around Edinburgh will improve. Roads down there are fine.

Roads and weather in Ayr are fine and there's usually not much difference between  Ayr and Stranraer. You're right enough about the wind though. The BBC is showing 50mph for Stranraer and 17mph for Ayr on Friday night. Something wrong somewhere.

It was something along the lines of there was water underneath and frozen on top of their pitch or vice versa.

 

Last night was just too much snow.

Just looked it up. Our first defeat was to Dunfermline which was our 9th game of the season. Won the 8 games prior to that.

[heartsfc_fan]

P-P

 

Plastic pitches don't cope in freezing weather.

Yea,Sounds about right.

Didn't know they had a game last night.

Absolutely. Anyone that’s ever played on a frozen solid 3G pitch in a strong wind knows it’s a huge leveller. Rather it was off and we played them in better conditions. If it goes ahead would be happy with another scrappy 1-0 win.
