It's nowhere near freezing temps, and glories sunshine all day. Cold and bright. I'm not sure who's most to blame here, the dundee ground-staff or the ref, but this is shambolic. It's either rained hard during the week or frozen and had snow cover at some point which has thawed, regardless would have thought the pitch should have been covered all week if it was already soft to protect it from whatever elements during the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it’s off, or another inspection is called later. Edited January 16, 2021 by The Master 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with not much else to look forward to just now. What a dick. You’re absolutely 100% spot on. The game’s fucked with the lack of tackling and thon VAR pish but to call that waterlogged today has taken it to a whole new level. FUCKING p***k OF A REFEREE. Get him so far tae f**k from our game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember we got shafted once by a junior official doing an early inspection at Somerset and postponing it based on a frozen pitch, Ayr proceeding to do a full afternoons training session on the pitch.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Dundee begging for every possible chance, hence no official confirmation, looks like the bit which had no grass on it last week is too soft and unplayable according to match referee, some junior diddy referee obviously did it this morning or rain has fallen since. Ian Robb from AU Media saying Ayr players are away off, peak scottish banter if they had to do another u-turn back to Dens for a later kick off There was f**k all rain this morning or since - it's clear and sunny in Dundee.Both teams wanted to play - seriously think the ref has got this wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Two different refs inspect the same pitch 3.5 hours apart with no change in conditions and two different decisions made. Onnus is on the refs here, either the local ref fucked up or Munro has. They both can't be right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know what happened. What I’m saying is that a match is only ever “conditionally on” following an inspection if another inspection for later is called straight away. You should never have a game declared on subject to conditions without that follow-up inspection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of the pitch deemed unplayable is the middle of the park which doesn’t have a patch of water on it. Both clubs, and media have said they’re confused as to why it’s not on. Also, that photo should not be enough to call off a game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
