Cant remember a game that our Goals coming of the moorings has not caused a delay to the game. Something needs done to improve this as its happening far to often and can turn a game around due to break in the play. The last two games against the CAPS both home and away Brown and Chubak seem to be kicking them of far to easy and probably deliberately. From what I can see it just looks like a metal stud that is frozen in and the goal framework sit over the protruding pins. I understand that the goals need to break of the moorings to prevent player injury on impact but its happening all to often in my opinion. Are we using the best retaining kit available as it looks like a brand new set of Goals

Has been particularly annoying this season so far. Should improve as the extra ice layers get put down though, once the curling circles go on and the weather gets colder.

It doesn't help that they've got some 18 year old that doesn't have a clue trying to fix it

Using awfy young folk that don't really know what they're doing, and also the fact it looks pretty unprofessional, but it's just another saving Tam Muir's making I suppose..

As riverrat says, once the curling.g circles go down there'll be a much thicker ice sheet that will hold the nets in place. It's the same every season.

Funny how nets that Fife were defending only came off twice last night, but the Edinburgh nets came off at least 16 times by my reckoning, cost us a goal and it looked to be a deliberate tactic by Chubak if the net was under threat and the fact the Brown did not have similar problems, which proves it was not really the goals at all, in my opinion.
The ice staff do their best and if they are still learning, why not cut them some slack, we all had to learn at some point and were not under the same microscope that these guys are.
Age is not important and if they are the staff we need to let them do their jobs, I am sure other rinks go through similar phases.
COYF.

marshpegs.com/productinfo.htmlThis is what they use in North America. I think the objection to using them at FIA is that you need to set the peg insert into the concrete floor.

Ice isn't thick enough because the curling rings or whatever have still to go down yet. Everyone relax. Nothing to do with the ice staff.

Swarfiga if you think you can do any better or want to learn put your name up or shut up about the young lad Firstly don't dare tell me to shut up. Secondly, he burst one of the holes a couple weeks ago which a fair few seen, is it completely his fault? No but they should have people doing it that actually know what they're doing. And ahhh the old if you think you can do better argument is boring and doesn't mean anything, I'd put my name down if I knew how to do it, but I don't so I won't. Hilarious.

If you cant do the job your self swarfiga then its pretty shocking to moan about someone who does.
If the guy has made a mistake so what? Youd have cocked up 10times worse then id presume since you don't have a scooby what to do?
The fact of the matter is the pins are designed to be knocked off, most people know this. Goalies use it to their advantage to releave the team of pressure. If the ref isn't going to nip it in the bud early doors then hes going to keep doing it! The blame has to land on the refs head.

Say it's shared blame. Ice staff for not fixing them right. Chuback for being a cheating ****. The ref's for being hilariously, pathetically bad. Brown, Wilson and Cowen are by far the worst 'officials' in professional sport. Won't be long till something serious happens because they're lack of baws to call the right penalties...
