The Ams game away to Tartan AFC was abandoned after eight minutes when Albion midfield player Paul Ferguson was a victim of the underfoot conditions at Roseburn. “Fergie” dislocated his knee and required extensive medical assistance. Between the time it took for Albion Physio and Albion Team Manager Geoff Cowan to assess the seriousness of the situation, and the time it took for medical assistance to arrive on site, the match official had no option but to abandon the game. Questions are now being asked on 2 key issues!:-
1) Was the park playable, and was the surface safe. Both teams had reservations about safety.
2) Did the referee accept his £38 match fee? Yes, believe it or not he took his match fee?
Was the referees acceptance of his match fee really in the spirit of the game?. Only you, the Blog reader can judge?. But, it really sums up the current ethics behind the philosophy of the game in general. Sport, what sport?
