Then walked out on them 6 months later.
Doesn't negate the fact that he got them promoted from a seemingly difficult position when he took over

He has no reason to veto a move to us over Raith, he’d need a strong reason to do so such as significant extra travel, he can’t just say nah I prefer raith even tho their paying you 50% of other clubs.
Of course he has a reason.If he thought you may not end up in any of the playoff positions and he thought that Raith would then I suspect he would pick them over you.

The decision is mainly Dundee’s not rudden’s and that decision will be based almost entirely on who will pay them the most to take him on loan.
Not really sure about that. Rudden has a contract and if he didn't want to go to a specific club then he could veto it irrespective of how much of his wage was being covered.

There are a couple which break the laws of physics:
He hung in the air
The ball gained pace off the pitch
The third in that category is "He/we/they gave 110%". No he/you/they didn't. It's impossible

Started his career playing in midfield, moved to defense and now taking up position in the hole!

You're not a true English shithole unless you have a rugby league club.
I nominate Castleford.
To be fair you are kinda spoilt for shitholes in West Yorkshire. Keighley edges it for me but Castleford is a decent shout. At the other end of the M62 Oldham and Rochdale make a stout claim for shitholery on behalf of Lancashire.

Thanks everybody and thanks to @Poet of the Macabre for organising it
I had a fair bit of beginner's luck, watch me get papped out in the first round next season!
I'm kind of disappointed that it has finished.
Just need a few coffin dodgers to pop their clogs between now and the end of the year to make it an inaugural P&B Last Man standing/ Dead pool double!
Cheers again

Look at the state of the pitch on Dundee’s social media. Its not that it was just waterlogged it’s a mud bath already so early in the season.
That wasn't taken today. It's an old picture. I suppose we could have gotten somebody up to take a picture of a puddle for you if necessary

I appreciate the early call off. Too many times our fans will be in Perth before a game is called off. Still does not answer why the pitch was not playable, when your lower neighbours was.
Well it could be that at 9.30 AM the ground was playable but given the volume of rain expected it was decided that by 3 PM it'd be unplayable and therefore they wanted to prevent unnecessary travel for both your team and fans. Or it may be that the Lochee pitch is on sand. Where were Lochee's opponents coming from? Perhaps it wasn't as distant as Dingwall.

Please enlighten me
What we should have done at 9.30 AM is to say " Yeah the ground is playable" and disregard the fact that the forecast was for increased rain. Then let six fingered, banjo strumming yokels like yourself spend their time and benefit money travelling down before saying 30 minutes before kick off time that the game was off.

The front page has the rules which state:
- In the unlikely event of postponements, you will remain in until the following week but you will be unable to pick that team again.
However, not relevant since @Jimmy Baker has switched his pick to Peterhead.
I had read that but it would have been a shithouse way to stay in it while the other two lads had a chance to go out.

I had originally intended to go for Aberdeen but as both my remaining co-players have beaten me to it I thought that it'd be a bit meh for the three of us all to take the same team. I've swithered between Stenny and Peterhead but I've decided on a baws oot choice and to go big or go home. Therefore my team is
Week 8 Dundee Football Club
This could end badly
As the Dundee game has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and the Stenny game is also off I'll go for my fourth choice which is
Week 8 Peterhead
Hopefully this is ok

Dundee game has been postponed. How does this work now?
You choose another? If Aberdeen get beat do we have to wait till whatever midweek is agreed to get the result for this weekend? If Dundee lose that game what happens? If Aberdeen win do you pick other games provisionally in Wk9 onward but could already be pied when Dundee play the rearranged fixture?
One for @Poet of the Macabre
Yeah, I've been out and I've just seen that the game is off which given the rain is no surprise. I'll just make another pick for this week which should solve any problem.

I got first dibs, and backsies aren't allowed.
What happens if there's a double result upset? Count back seeing who hasn't used both the OF? ......
I dithered with Stenny as my backup for what it's worth.
Not sure if using Rangers counts as an advantage these days!

I was actually going to suggest to the three of you that it wouldn't make much sense if you all picked the same team!
I was last to post and I thought that it spoilt it if we all took the same team. After all there are plenty of other choices. It's a bit of fun but it's amazing how invested you get in it.

Good fit. He was disastrous in Europe as well
