I’d put money on it just being a tosspot referee looking to show off a bit. Ah well, it's David Munro who made the decision so make what you will out of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current covid issues nothing even to do with this as quite simply the match should either have been called off this morning or not at all, unless there had been a huge deterioration in the pitch / weather, since the original inspection was carried out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to standing in or walking through the affected area. Perhaps the kick-off could have been delayed, but there is no indication how long the delay would be. Surely it’s not difficult to give the ground staff, say, an hour (so pushing KO to 4pm). If it’s still not playable, then so be it. But at least they would have tried, in an attempt to avoid Ayr having a wasted 240-mile round trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking forward to it tbf, is about the only thing to look forward to in a week just now is football on a Saturday, regardless of how shite we're playing, just good to see the team in the flesh. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of experienced this season 7 Premiership Games 8 Championship games snd refereed 2 Europa League qualification matches , not many inexperienced refs get those games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but then an hour becomes 90 minutes which becomes two hours etc. I do agree that the pitch inspection system leaves a lot to be desired at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 There was a pitch inspection done at 10:30 by a local referee and he said it was fine to go ahead. At 1330, the ref for today’s game, David Munro, said there was a wet patch on the pitch and they kicked a ball around and deemed it to be dangerous - so he has called it off. Dundee are now speaking to the league to see what can be done - asking if they can they delay kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a ridiculous decision then, unless there's some storms and torrential rain forecast for later ?? Surely the park would have drained even further in an hours time and work with forks etc would have made a difference ? Who knows, maybe he's never seen a "real" football pitch in scotland in the middle of winter before ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
