RDS Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 9.15am pitch inspection announced for Dens this morning after bit of rain. Should get booted out of league if yet another postponement and scrap relegationΒ play off ππ Link to comment
RDS Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A local ref Craig Fordyce inspected Dens at 9.15am and delayed decision. Sky saying match ref Don Robertson on way now for 10.15am check. State of that pitch with normal rain is a joke with amateur pitches having better drainage Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Injuries, emotionally drained and a run-in thatβs now slightly easier now theyβre out of europe.

aberdeen1970 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 They should at least cover the most at risk areas where there's very little grass.Β At Dens that's the 2 18 yard boxes and the area in front of the dugoutΒ Nevertheless I've just seen the tv footage and that game should be on.Β A couple of small patches where the ball doesn't bounce properly shouldn't mean the game should be off.Β Bunch of pussies these days.Β Link to comment

Don Shula Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 39 minutes ago, Dynamo said: Dundee are a fucking disgrace. It's about time they were getting fined for this. Completely agree. They are getting a competitive advantage by spending fuck all on the pitch/groundstaff so spending more on the team versus other teams who have spent money to fix their pitch e.g. Motherwell and so have less to spend on players. Some hefty fines might get Dundee to take some action and spend money on proper drainage. 1 Link to comment
GAME OF BILLIONS Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Darvel's pitch is a thing of beauty, Spartan's is very good, many lower-tier clubs in Scotland and England have amazing pitches and drainage systems. Dundee have been taking the piss for years with that pitch. As Clement said, next season there could be a lot more UEFA fixtures in Scotland and we can't have this shit going on. SPFL really need to the get the season schedule sorted out.Β Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 So games off.Β And the Huns arent happy.Β Plu ca change.

Saw some pictures of the state of the pitch on Twitter.  Unacceptable for a full time club to let their pitch get into that state⦠there were large patches which looked like they were just mud⦠with no grass. Embarrassing. 1 Link to comment

They love claiming they could get games on with more time as used same script against us. Pitch looks more like a golf course with bunkers with amount of sand they'd usedΒ Link to comment

A few areas where the ball doesn't bounce means fuck all or it never used to. Along with the VAR sagas, these postponed matches makes the Scottish Premiership look diddy-esque. Never happens in English Premier, I actually don't recall any Championship games being postponed this season.Β One of the most important aspects of football administration is that... the games go ahead. "It iznae oor fault... the RAIN came on last night, min, pitch is soakin', min, even the sand we got fae B&Q didnae work, min. Da blame us, min." Fuck off. Link to comment

RabidGiraffe Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 If all our games, including those against Dundee, had gone ahead as scheduled we might have got rid of Robson earlier instead of getting the "games in hand" excuse. 1 Link to comment
