Nearly caught early again. That pitch looks horrible.

 

[chancer]

Looks weird the way the ball doesn't seem to lose that much speed as it splashes across the artificial surface, as it would if it was grass.

 

[Rorschach]

I can see injuries in this match.

 

[Mumorn]

Our English players are so poor technically

 

[thfcsteff]

That pitch is a double jeapordy…astroturf with a thin thin dusted layer of ice/snow…shocking.

 

[Mumorn]

Played on pitches like this, better than grass, not sure what they're like with snow on though

 

[Modric THFC]

Would have been better off playing a game against a local london side on a proper pitch.

 

[Pirate55]

Naughton in great position to cross and then well over hits it.

 

[Modric THFC]

The pitch may be plastic, but it ain't ****ty. The forecast says windy, wet and temperatures just above zero.

Sheriff take a 1-0 lead against Anji

Really? You think so? A good grass pitch will always be better than an artificial one for me…or have I misunderstood your point mate?

I've played on both, I personally prefer artificial, no idea why I just prefer playing on it.

At this stage it feels no good could come from a game like this

 

[chancer]

Modern artificial turf is light years away from what we saw in English football in the 80's at Luton and QPR. The technology is now pretty amazing and the chances of injury are not nearly the same as back in the day, and not significantly higher than playing on grass.

What do you think a grass pitch would have been like in this weather? I suggest you try playing on one before dismissing it. I've been to a couple of the previous generation and they were almost preferable to grass. This one is top notch.

I have played on these with a light snow on Powerleague , goals etc they are lethal . Grass pitch all day long for me saying that don't play on many with any grass left on them this time of year

Perhaps an age thing? This middle-aged trotter prefers the natural run of grass (even though the majority of my football these days is played indoor!!!!!)…artifical outdoor surfaces tend to offer up an extra 'skip'...

 

[Pirate55]

Good run from Fryers down the left but again a poor cross.

 

[Jordinho]

Sheriff have taken the lead against Anzhi after 52 minutes. Anything but an Anzhi win means we've won the group.
