What's the problem with those big sheets over the pitch??

Yip, even a pish club like Dundee could afford a bit of tarpaulin 

They should be hammered for this.

And they should be forced to drop prices in the rematch.

And the referee should be made to turn up before 2pm.

It’s absolute basics & every year this happens around the country & the SFA/SPFL do fuck all about it.

Calling a game off, when it’s been pissing down all day is fucking outrageous.

 

They should be but they won't.

50 mins before the kick off in these circumstances is beyond incompetent. 

[Willo flood]

Time for Dundee to merge with United or simply liquidate in my honest opinion

That’s utter shite to postpone with less than an hour to go 

Although the correct decision, it’s an absolute joke that ( and not by far the first time ) games in Dumpdee have been cancelled at a very late in the day .. I’ve been amongst the heaps of Dons fans that have gone to either Dens or Tanadump for the game to be postponed very late in the day.. 

do the not have up to date satellite weather forecast in Dumpdee.. 

poor really poor

Christmas ruined

There’s a video on Twitter showing the ball bouncing in the goal mouth area. 😂😂😂 you couldn’t write how utterly inept the SFA are. Embarrassing 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Looks ok to me

What a joke, was just getting set to watch this and looking forward to seeing Barron, Polvara and McGrath midfield and another 3 points. 45 mins before kick off is pathetic.

[Hairdrier]

Did the ref sleep in? Amateur stuff.

[Dynamo]

Bit of accountability needed in this day and age for pitch conditions and drainage at serial offenders like Dundee 

[ahead on alphabet]

Ref arrives at a ground and goes out to check the pitch less than an our before kick off? That seems utterly bizarre given the concern Dundee must have had. 

[donswin1983]

That’s brutal, especially for those that travelled! Is it still raining in Dundee? Looking at that twitter post, they only had 2 lads with brushes/squeegy things doing any work!!

only in Scotland. Fucking joke to call a game off after 2pm

[Willo flood]

It’s as if they’ve just walked out and went oh shit! Then sent two fools out to pretend to sweep it away so they look like they’ve been at it all day.

Not even a hint of a pitch inspection beforehand 

[Matt Armstrong's Dog]

The complete ineptitude, disregard, and "couldn't care less" attitude the SPFL and SFA display towards 40 out of the 42 member clubs of our league is fucking abhorrent.

Dundee FC are a shambles and an embarrassment to our game. You can put St. Johnstone, Motherwell, and Kilmarnock in that bracket as well for the unforgivable timings of calling off games against Aberdeen in the past.

Ragin for those fans. Total waste of money. So close to Xmas too. The SPFL. Wow. Just wow.

Reminds me of the pathetic events of November 1992 when we were playing Partick at Firhill on a Saturday afternoon.

The snow was coming down pretty densely before and through the match, and, at halftime, they sent on only one member of staff with what turned out to be a broken broom to brush the snow away from the pitch lines.

Needless to say, the game got abandoned when we're 2-0 up. However, in the replayed match we smashed them 7-0.

Karma is great at times. 

However, over 30 years on from that game, our game has not progressed in the slightest.

[Dons21]

Tinpot club & tinpot organisation. 53 minutes before kick off. Going to refund travel costs for the thousands that travelled? Are they fuck. Dundee boozers in for a pre Xmas windfall.

"Tinpot"

*shudder*

Ironically, you using that word IS tinpot

[Ten Caat]

Dundee now intend on holding a training session on the pitch

And aren't happy with the decision to call the match off....intend on making a complaint to the SPFL

[Frank Grimes]

Postponed because of a concern re player safety but then Dundee players start to train on it 15 minutes before kick off was due

Right O

Only been to one other game that got called off after I arrived. Was also against Dundee, but for a frozen pitch. Must have been late 90s?

Why the fuck is the referee only dragging his arse up from Glasgow at 2pm?

That’s a fucking joke.

However, no-be will challenge the SFA & it’ll happen again & again. 

Fans in this country are treated like shite

I was at a Motherwell game around 2002/03ish that was called off an hour before kick off. We just stayed in the pub until 6pm then got the bus back up the road. What a day.
