Just read that since 2021 Dundee United have had 1 game postponed due to the weather, Dundee have had 14 games postponed in the same time period. Yip, climate change is a bugger on one side of Tannidice Street. That 200 yards makes a huge difference apparently.

It's starting to feel impossible to keep away from that lot in any area of Scottish life these days. They really have taken over and we are partly to blame.

In summary. After days of conjugation and deliberation the SPFL has concluded, 'to kick the can further down the road' but, not as far as a neutral playable pitch. Anyways, the decision is delayed until next Tuesday and if it rains again and the drainage does not improve, then we will take the decision as instructed by Peter. This has been a Shifty McGifty production.

Here's mud in your eye!

Drysdale looks every inch a SNP cooncillor. Wee boys’ haircuts don’t look good in middle age.

Harsh, on a man who is expecting Nicola Sturgeon's baby

I wonder if that will be because of climate change

The drainage "can't be fixed unless someone provided the city council a multi-million budget to do so" is the reasoning given.

Apparently their stadium's drainage is not their responsibility.

Eric Drysdale is an SNP Councillor in Perth as well as being Dundee FC's Secretary. When Rangers issued the bullying dossier four years past, the three attack dogs named were Mike Mulraney of Alloa, John Nelms and, Eric Drysdale. Peter holds all their leads.

This Eric Drysdale has previous. He was involved with Raith Rovers, along with another no-mark called Hutton Turnbull (or vice versa) when the 2012 blood letting commenced. These two, i I r c, got their day in the sun, for 15 minutes of which they were famous, and delightedly showed their knobs, while dancing to the Merry Ploughboy.

What a great idea! They can join Kilmarnock, Livingston & Hamilton in the world of synthetic rubber. We've never had any bother with player injuries on those sort of surfaces? ........... Or have we ? 😬

No, just spend more money and hire more competent groundsmen/get better drainage.

Boot them out of the top flight problem solved.

Can’t argue with that, but there are not many that fit the bill in our budget! I’d be happy with ABG (anyone but Goldson)!

Dundee confirming their GREEN credentials.

Lifted from FF: The Dundee Club Secretary - Eric Drysdale Just interviewed on Sky “35% more rain than 10 year average, its climate change and we will need to adapt Dens to suit that” No joke. 🤣

Indeed, so will they have to delay the start of the split? They should already have made the decision that Dundee forfeit home advantage and play the game at Ibrox (that should really have happened tonight) or they forfeit the game and we get 3 points, but of course the rules don't provide for that sort of contingency. No, they'd rather inconvenience the clubs, players, fans and at worst risk their safety. SPFL at their incompetent best.

About sick of hearing the media blame it on the weather. That's some BS. Dundee Sellick play right acrossed the damned street and their pitch is just fine. This is negligence on the part of that club. The league need to fine the club for failure to meet standards and relocate to other. Clowns.

I watched a game the other day...home side was down 4 goals. Stadium was still packed in the 90th minute. People were chanting like they were up by four Rabid fans.

I think big Souttar would really benefit from a Davie Weir, it's finding one that's the issue.

I have been watching quite a bit of Arg football on Paramount+. Not a bad league. Some good players down there. It's a man's league, no away fans at any parks (past ten years) as the fans are crazier than a shithouse rat. But the refs let the players 'play'. Good market.

Ten goals in the two quarter finals last night excellent viewing for the armchair fans

I think there is a good player in there if we can keep him fit and confident.
