    First away match I didn't purchase PPV this season. Glad I kept my money. Not paying to watch football on these pitches. Then you have Livingston with the cheek of charging £20 for their PPV matches.

    There is nobody ever going to convince me that plastic pitches don't give the home team a massive advantage. Also the standard of football is crap on them. They are an abomination. I agree get rid of them. They are an embarrassment especially in the premier.

    Are these streaming sites safe enough? I'm not very computer savvy and have heard from some that they can infect your computer with some nasty stuff. There is no way I'm paying Livi the like of £20 to watch a game on their crap pitch so hesgoal would suit me fine!

    TBF to Connolly, the mistake that led to the third goal was 100% down to the surface.

    Of course theres a slight advantage even marginal but its the margins that count, the number of times players of both sides were on their bums shows that, only they were on their bums less than our players.. just but its also a psychological barrier to contend with.

    If the SFA are going to permit all types of surface lets simply have a sand surface and practice play and sleep on it (extreme)

    But the general quality of ball play etc even from the home side was rotten.

    Yes artificial pitches are highly controversial, however, going by the game stats (scoreline apart) it appears we did far better on the pitch than what Killie did?
