luckyBatistuta Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Just finished work. Have to say, I’m worried about it going ahead now. There was massive flooding everywhere I went, including on the motorway and still chucking it down.

True, hope everyone makes it in one piece. We have some awesome travelling fans. 6 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Struggling to get my head focused on the game, Im sure once I see a Hibby I will be fine though. They are the gift that keeps giving. I was awake at 5, typical pre-derby feeling. Need to go watch some of Robbo's goals to calm the nerves. I'm going, hatrick for the fat Scotland reject to light up his season, without reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 When I think of derbies in the rain, this remains my favourite. It was the last derby where the Gorgie Road end was uncovered and occupied by the vermin.

FionaHmfc Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Pretty sure I remember having a game at Tynie against partick called off at about half 1 in the afternoon not so many years ago. We were on the bus and everyone got news of such a late call off so all got off and headed home. Weather has been horrendous all night here in Edinburgh. Battered the windows all night and the wind was howling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s major disruption on roads and around the ground there is a chance it doesn’t go ahead. If it keeps raining up until kick off doesn’t matter that we have good drainage there’s only so much water the pitch will be able to take.

Thing is he is just a poor referee as I’ve watched some games not involving us and can’t understand how he came to the decision he has. The non award of a penalty to Killie in the LC final last year even with VAR remains one of the biggest cock ups he’s had recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it 1308 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Can I ask a daft question...and please pull me up if I'm thick as ****? Even though we've got drainage and undersold heating Why can we not have a waterproof covering to roll out overnight and cover the pitch. We knew beforehand that this rain was coming?
