Ludo*1 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well that has drastically reduced my chances of making the game. There'll be a sizeable section of people turning up for this still drunk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Well that has drastically reduced my chances of making the game. There'll be a sizeable section of people turning up for this still drunk. That did cross my mind. If the idea of the (very) early kick-off time is to reduce drinking time, someone needs to look at the date it's being played. Would it also be cynical to suggest the police are looking for easy "next day" drink drivers? Hammering home the festive message and all that...

harry94 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The derby on New Year's Day has been brought forward to 12.15pm and live on BT. Was thinking we'd end up with an evening kick off like the Edinburgh derby this year. I'll most likely be hammered from the night before. Do we have any other televised fixtures? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deestruction Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I posed the thought that on NYd it doesn't matter if it's 12pm or 5pm, people will be going pished, but at the earlier KO time, you'll get more DDs. For some reason most disagreed with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixOfTheAshes Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The derby on New Year's Day has been brought forward to 12.15pm and live on BT. Football is no longer for the fans. f**k tv companies. f**k the modern game. I'll still be going, however i'm going to be feeling like Michelle McManuses shoe soles on the 2nd - fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll most likely be hammered from the night before. Do we have any other televised fixtures? Nope. It's unlikely we'll have any televised home fixtures except Celtic and United the second time round because four is the maximum we're obligated to let the broadcasters move. That's why the Aberdeen game wasn't on TV despite appearing an almost certain pick. Away games are different, but as a newly-promoted side the appeal to audiences might be low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was thinking that. I'm quite happy with keeping TV appearances to a minimal, avoids the Sunday kick off times, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think I prefer Barrajag, this jaxjag seems a little needy. Belter DJ! I too liked BarraJag. A little splash of colour amongst the shades of grey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Mid-day New Year's derby is better than the prospect of it in the evening. Will probably stay-up and power through the match followed by my traditional New Year's curry then collapse in bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambling syd rumpo Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The last time I remember a New Year's Day derby was at Tannadice. It must have been about 25 years ago. It was below freezing and there were plenty of people suffering who hadn't been home and were still in their 80s shiny party suits. A ballboy collapsed with the cold (or something) and was carted off. There were also a couple of coppers in the our end who were quite shamelessly cheering on the Dee on overtime. Nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andershen Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 That's the wife having a quiet Hogmanay. We could take you over Andershen? Cheers! I'll let you know nearer the time as I'm unsure where I'm bringing in the New Year as of yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yesterday's Tele/today's online one says we are after Heart's and former Rangers keeper Scott Gallacher. He played against us during pre-season. He appears to be the Steve Harper of Scottish football aka, the perennial benchwarmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
