Killie61 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Could killie go back in for Craig Bryson this season? I spoke to him last year and found him to be an utter gentleman, and totally honest, he said that he wanted back to killie when he left Derby, but they never replied to him, my opinion is that he’s not that badly or regularly injured as reported, I just think he doesn’t like the travelling up to Aberdeen and being away from his family here in Ayrshire. I for one would take him in a heartbeat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen midfielder Craig Bryson insists artificial pitches should not be used in the Ladbrokes Premiership after Saturday's frustrating goalless draw at Kilmarnock. Dons manager Derek McInnes attributed Scott McKenna's hamstring injury to slipping on an unevenly watered pitch which was relaid over the summer. The 22-year-old defender now faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of an injury that is likely to rule him out of Scotland's crucial double-header against Russia and Belgium next month. Bryson, who joined Aberdeen this summer after almost a decade down south at Derby, said: "They wouldn't allow these surfaces down in England but you just have to get on with it. "At the start of the game when they water it the ball moves fine but as the half moves on it dries up. Sometimes you don't know how the ball is going to bounce. "For the first 15 minutes it will skid on but when it dries up it just bounces up. I don't like it and I don't think it should be used in the top league in Scotland but it's the same for both teams." Kilmarnock players were also visibly frustrated by a surface that led to an arduous and scrappy 90 minutes devoid of any clear-cut chances. The one moment of quality came courtesy of Gary Dicker on 70 minutes. The Kilmarnock captain played a majestic defence-splitting pass to Chris Burke but the winger could only fire into the side netting after rounding goalkeeper Joe Lewis. Despite failing to record their 12th consecutive win at Rugby Park, Bryson was happy to make his first league start for the Dons. "It was alright because obviously I've had a long four months out injured," he said. "I managed an hour last game so to get 75 minutes was a bonus personally, but I was blowing second half. "When you've been out for that long it's important to get minutes in your legs because nothing prepares you like games." Kilmarnock manager Angelo Alessio was content with a point despite remaining bottom of the table. "I'm happy because we finally have a point on board but we wanted three points because we want to improve the situation we are in," he said. "We played good football and some of the one- and two-touch passing was good." https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/aberdeen/news/aberdeen-midfielder-craig-bryson-speaks-out-against-artificial-pitches_369233.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I had heard that he was well down the pecking order there and they would perhaps consider letting him go. Nothing to say he’d come to us or we were interested. Since then McInnes has spoken about getting him fit and playing so not sure if that rules it out. Given the way their finances appear to be hit by the pandemic maybe they would be happy to free up the wage. Was there not a rumour on here we tried to get him on loan in January? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I dont get folks issues with artificial surfaces. Yes traditionally the games played on grass. But this is the 21st century footballs evolving as with everything else. A large number of clubs in the world have either played or trained on artificial parks and the majority of their youth play week in week out on it. Look at ours, and many other clubs injury records nothing that shows worrying signs about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one issue would be that there should be consistency in surfaces - all grass or all artificial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvis Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just now, skygod said: I guess one issue would be that there should be consistency in surfaces - all grass or all artificial. Are all grass surfaces in the league the same quality of surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I was only making a suggestion as to what one of "folks'" issues might be. But you could ask that. You could equally ask if all artificial surfaces are the same? Both are subsidiary issues to the bigger one of the discrepancies between grass and artificial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that Mrs Bryson would particularly like to be closer to family around Killie, so the family connection means we are always in with a shout of him coming back. On the right wages he'd be worth a pint but the injuries are really concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a top physio at Hampden and his opinon is that it gets in players minds that they have more chance of getting injured on a plastic pitch than they do on a grass pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science says plastic pitches are far inferior and thats why not allowed in english professional leagues. Even clarke said the pitch is a problem, will effect the loan players he is able to bring it. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy123 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 why do English professional league not allow them. Why do top clubs in Scotland not have them? Infact name top clubs in the world that have them????? Grass is far superior dont understand the argument. Even our own players at times moaned about our pitch. It's a money saving scheme easy as that -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
