Dundee Farce Continues – Postponed Again

[Barrymoped]

At what score though? Goal difference could be significant this year.

It’s irrelevant anyway mate, there’s not a chance in hell, absolutely zero, that we get awarded 3 points without playing, it simply isn’t going to happen.

 

[Midfield General]

Dundee utd have already been approached and told Dundee to GTF. Rightly so.

Never heard that mate,where was it reported?

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Game played, Rangers drop points.

That is the desired outcome and they'll give it every chance and then some to make it a reality.

 

[bad boy boogie]

Breaking news...dundee have asked livingston if they can lift their pitch and get it to dundee tomorrow.

 

[SimonLeBon]

Game played, Rangers drop points.

That is the desired outcome and they'll give it every chance and then some to make it a reality.

That's exactly the scenario they want. Why else do you think Bheast FC have been helping with the pitch.

 

[Brick_Top]

Ffs man can people stop talking about Rangers being given the points and a 3-0 win

It is never ever ever happening.

If the game doesn’t go ahead tomorrow it will go ahead another day.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Do we have any bear foot soldiers in the vicinity of dens this evening and or early morning to keep an eye out on the state of play?

 

[scottishpoet]

Look it’s clear that if it was the scum who stil had this fixture to play that they would have demanded to know if it was playable before they stepped foot in a bus. I feel we have been weak here. We should have been demanding a ref check this surface today before we went up.

Ref inspects it today and says its playable. It pisses down all day tomorrow and is unplayable by 6pm.

Tomorrows 11am inspection will either be 'no' or 'another inspection at ....'

I suspect the latter coz if they say no Dundee will complain that they could have worked it all day and it would have been fine by kick off. It wouldn't but would not stop them saying it.

Total waste of time inspecting it 9 hours before kick off.

 

[Gateside11]

Checked Dundee's weather for tomorrow. To be dry until 11am then rain rest of day.
Pitch will probably be OK to play at 11am, game goes ahead and pitch is like a ploughed field by 8pm KO time

 

[top_cat]

Game will be off, for sure.
Call it at 11am before our support travel up/down the road to Dundee.

 

[Ray Von]

The same as the whole country wants in every game we play then.

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

Rangers must not be found wanting if the game is postponed again.

 

[Ashley5518]

I e

Rangers must not be found wanting if the game is postponed again.

I expect Rangers to actually say/do something if they are told to play this for a 3rd time.

 

[PerthRanger]

Dundee utd have already been approached and told Dundee to GTF. Rightly so.

Why would Dundee ask Dundee United? Tannadice doesn’t have VAR as it’s a championship ground, bit of a non starter

 

[Square it!]

Never heard that mate,where was it reported?

Here ,about twenty times in the last week.
Pay fucking attention!

 

[Barnster Bear]

Only 9hrs of heavy rain

 

[Shengus Malengus]

What kind of shit show would we be facing if we had beaten Benfica?

 

[Barnster Bear]

What kind if shit show would we be facing if we had beaten Benfica?

Tour of Japan

 

[JohnD]

All very well what about injuries?

Good point. If we can only play on a perfect surface with no rain then we will be certain to maintain our fantastic injury-free record.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

It’s irrelevant anyway mate, there’s not a chance in hell, absolutely zero, that we get awarded 3 points without playing, it simply isn’t going to happen.

Exactly mate. Honestly wonder what planet some people are in who are shouting for this.

 

[smitjb]

I've only skimmed the thread but it looks like it'll be played at Tannadice behind closed doors and we get a 3-0 start. Have I picked that up right?

 

[Midfield General]

Here ,about twenty times in the last week.
Pay fucking attention!

Ah right,so we can expect Tannadice to be announced tmorrow then

 

[ald]

Clement is 100% right that if the game is postponed tomorrow then the contingency can’t be to play it in Dundee next week. If it is to be next week then it needs to be elsewhere so that it is guaranteed to be on. If that means Easter Road, Tynecastle, Hampden, Ibrox or wherever then so be it.

When did you install VAR at Tannadice?

 

[Bear all]

Good point. If we can only play on a perfect surface with no rain then we will be certain to maintain our fantastic injury-free record.

Snide there’s bigger factor of getting injuries playing on a unplayable pitch .

 

[BSPECIAL]

11am could be playable 5 o'clock could be unplayable. When are they going to draw the line. Spfl and SFA are a disgraceful unprofessional and joke of organisations. Clueless shamateur clowns

 

[kclarkhall]

Given the forecast tomorrow and the fact everyone now knows the pitch isn’t fit for purpose, the fact that we have no clue and a daft 11am pitch inspection is farcical.

As Clement said, we should know tonight what’s going on.

 

[Blootoonboy]

I'd like to think that behind the scenes we are ready to open up both barrels if this game is called off again, its completely unacceptable.

 

[BobbyShearer]

Next time we have a few injuries and suspensions for a mentally challenged game we should just wait for a bit of rain, flood the pitch, get it called off and shrug our shoulders at the impotent cun.ts that run the sport in this country

 

[RotterdamBear]

I'd like to think that behind the scenes we are ready to open up both barrels if this game is called off again, its completely unacceptable.

What is it you’re expecting ?

And

What good would it do ?

Does that mean it's true?

This

If game off tomorrow then the SPL need to force a neutral venue next Wednesday

If Dundee don’t have the pitch ready they can’t keep hoping the weather stays dry and the game gets played as the forecast is wet for next week too so Dundee is not reliable venue and they must force another venue

Also Dundee need fined for ignoring pitch maintenance and spending more on their playing squad

 

[TheFrenchTank]

This game will be called off, nothing surer.

 

[Blootoonboy]

What is it you’re expecting ?

And

What good would it do ?

I'm expecting a rule to be followed which is that teams must provide an adequate playing surface to allow a game of football to be played.

This will be the second game and potentially the 5th call off for Dundee this season, I want them fined and the points to go to us.

Simple as that, unless Dundee get punished financially or with a forfeit - They wont care!

Its never going to happen though and we'll release a statement no doubt.

 

[BlueLedbetter]

If its off tomorrow SPFL should hire hampden for next Wednesday and pay for it from Dundees end of season prize money

 

[prsoandnovo222]

Keep the covers on and.play it on Thursday

 

[bob1873]

This game will be called off, nothing surer.

You sure?

 

[rossgers]

Pitch will probably be OK to play at 11am, game goes ahead and pitch is like a ploughed field by 8pm KO time

I suspect this is the gameplan. Robertson will deem the pitch playable, it will be like the somme by KO but will go ahead because it gives a better chance we drop points.

 

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

Keep the covers on and.play it on Thursday

Just keep the covers on, paint the lines on the covers and play it tomorrow.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

You sure?

Yes.

 

[muttley]

Exactly mate. Honestly wonder what planet some people are in who are shouting for this.

It would have been a serious proposal if Celtc were involved, and backed up by the usual media suspects.

 

[Wolverhampton Town]

Strip them of the game, play it at St Johnstone next week. Another shitehole of a pitch, but it'll at least go ahead.

 

[tazzabear]

What about the protective covers they’ve hired?

 

[three stripes or out]

Breaking news...dundee have asked livingston if they can lift their pitch and get it to dundee tomorrow.

Does Dundee not even have a CarpetRight where it can buy it's own?

 

[JohnD]

Snide there’s bigger factor of getting injuries playing on a unplayable pitch .

I disagree. We have had far more injuries on playable pitches.

 

[tazzabear]

Play it at Ibrox, that’s playable.

 

[Barrymoped]

Play it at Ibrox, that’s playable.

That’s about as likely as us being awarded the points.

There’s just no way on earth we will be seen to gain an advantage over this.

The game will be played, probably at Dens (at some point), but if not at a neutral venue as a worst case scenario

 

[namcpherson]

We all know we won't be awarded the points without playing, but in the context of this bring the FIFTH game that Dundee have been unable to play, where exactly do you draw the line with this nonsense?

 

[Blue and True.]

Keep the covers on and.play it on Thursday

Dundee play Aberdeen on Saturday not happening.

 

[alex wright]

Play it at Ibrox, that’s playable.

Not just playable, in amazing condition given the circumstances.
