Deego Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Could be interesting if postponed, away through to Beith on a Tuesday afternoon for the rescheduled fixture due to no floodlights If a club can't put some lights on then they should play at an alternative venue.

vikingTON Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If a club can't put some lights on then they should play at an alternative venue. Nominate Harmsworth Park, Wick. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 If a club can't put some lights on then they should play at an alternative venue. I agree with this. It's bad enough having junior clubs in the cup without them taking the piss like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'd be really surprised if this is on. Since we've already got games on a saturday for the next few weeks is there a chance this could be played at midday during the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we've already got games on a saturday for the next few weeks is there a chance this could be played at midday during the week? The Scottish Cup takes priority, so it's likely that it will be a league game (Raith away) that will be moved to a midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The Scottish Cup takes priority, so it's likely that it will be a league game (Raith away) that will be moved to a midweek. On a scheduled Scottish Cup match day. That isn't usually the case when rescheduling ties, particularly when i) the teams are travelling a short distance and ii) the next round isn't for another two months. I'd expect a resheduled tie to be midweek: the midweek between Christmas and New Year would be ideal, but the authorities would probably want the tie to be played in the next few weeks.

LargsTON Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 No chance this game is on. Based on what? Forecast looks pretty favourable. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Nu Sport Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 On a scheduled Scottish Cup match day.

I'd expect a resheduled tie to be midweek: the midweek between Christmas and New Year would be ideal, but the authorities would probably want the tie to be played in the next few weeks. The cup rules are on line and quite vague. Midweek does seem permissible and there's nothing about what time the tie should be played. SFA and clubs can also mutually agree alternative dates. The following Saturday is mentioned as a specific possibility, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinwoodTON Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Based on what? Forecast looks pretty favourable. There's been about a 4 or 5 degree difference in temperature between the Beith/Johnstone area and Inverclyde all this week, it's barely got above zero up here. Been at -5 every night this week. Saturdays forecast does look good but the damage will have already been done by then. I had to scrape the car windscreen three times during the day yesterday. <span style='font-size: 14px;'><em class='bbc'>"That LinwoodTon's a c*nt, eh?"</em></span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following Saturday is mentioned as a specific possibility, if that makes sense. Can't find anything to confirm on the SFA website, but I'm pretty sure it's the case that in the early rounds of the cup (this being the last one), replays or re-arranged fixtures can be scheduled for the following Saturday, as opposed to midweek. There were three replays (Cove v Formartine, East Kilbride v Stenhousemuir and Forfar v Queen's Park) played the Saturday following the original ties at this stage last season, but no original ties that I can see. Anyone who remembers our game at Cliftonhill will remember it was a foul day, too. There may be something in the rules to do with geography dictating that a game can be played on a league Saturday which wouldn't go in favour of this tie being played then, but if the clubs are allowed the choice, Beith would clearly put the foot down and push for a Saturday game, given the lack of floodlights and potential of a much larger gate for a weekend fixture.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Looking at the weather forecast for Friday night and Saturday, there is absolutely no danger of the game being called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 A Beith fan on P&B - "This is not official this game will not be going a head on Saturday the match ref will call it off tomorrow afternoon The ground is frozen solid in the majority of the parkwith no chance of thawing out I am not long back from the ground so know what is going on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunoon_Ton Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 From a pure selfish point of view, I hope the game is cancelled & rescheduled, as I cant make Sat. & I would like to witness these police horses on the pitch with my own eyes "He's not the messiah........He's a very naughty boy!.............Now P*ss Off!"
