What I don't understand is why did QotS not call the match off much sooner, at the point when there pitch became flooded. They wouldn't be happy if they travelled all the way up here, when it was obvious the day before that a game was going to be unplayable.

Treat others as you would wish to be treated.

From what I've seen talked about elsewhere the pitch was inspected at 11am and there was no indication that it wouldn't be playable come 3pm.

It would seem that a problem developed with the drainage and it very quickly flooded around noon.

They have never had a game called off for flooding previously.

A good story from Paul Third but as usual the blazers getting paid big wages in the SPFL are incapable of making a decision when they should.

What about travelling teams and fans making a decision for themselves? They have access to the same weather and police reports as the SPFL.

Lots of bleeting about SPFL incompetence yet so many of those same people seemingly happy to wait for them to make a decision on their behalf. Very strange behaviour.

They were saying on Radio Scotland on Saturday that Ross County and Motherwell were waiting to call off their game on Friday but weren’t allowed and it went ahead.

As Motherwell had travelled up on Friday and the pitch was playable that strikes me as the correct decision from the football authorities.

In hindsight the SPFL must have a crystal ball

If only they had a new artifical pitch they would have avoided flooding ... oh, wait!

Rearranged for 21 January with a 1945 kick off.

Giving this a 2nd try, involves a train up via Carlisle, an overnighter in Carlisle [last train back from Dumfries], before trip back next morning for the Office in the afternoon

I must be bonkers...what could possibly go wrong in January!

Why do I feel a sense of impending doom at seeing this?

Who on earth thought that this was a sensible time (of both year and day) to arrange a fixture?

Ooh theres an idea...but on a tight timetable, mind you if he decides to come and watch us I could share the train trip back to Carlisle with him after the match.
