Absolutely, three points is a must. Have to be realistic though, we've been fucking garbage for most of the season and we're in a relegation fight, wins against the sides going for the title aren't season defining. It's not impossible, and I fancy us for a draw but I'm not about to call our season over if we don't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the mindset is "we're going to get utterly pumped, might as well no bother" then we should just accept relegation now. If however the mindset is that we should be going in to games looking for a win, then we have a chance, even if we lose on Friday. Some games against sides going for promotion are going to have to be defining (at least in a way) though, as we only play Queen of the South, Ayr and Morton one more time each, whereas we have Kilmarnock and Thistle twice more. 0 points from those 4 games will be a terrible return and put in serious trouble. 11 games to go. Getting tight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If we try to use Efe Ambrose like he’s Van Dijk again then we can just call it as an away win right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Had a dream last night that our game was called off. Our game in Dundee, for some reason. I also dreamt that I put a choc ice in an outside freezer, along with some beers (important later on). This freezer was literally outside, not outside as in being in a shed or garage, but just sitting in a field. I had some pals around to my parents' house, even though it was a house I'd never seen in my life, to watch a film on an old CRT TV. This included two folk I've not spoken to in years. Whilst getting some more beer from the outside freezer, a car pulled up and five dodgy looking guys with shotguns got out. I then heard gunshots from in the house and knew they'd killed my friends. I immediately starting running away and was in some sort of mad housing estate with loads of turns and alleys. Despite my efforts, the killers caught up with me, now holding cut off pool cues. I knew I had to fight. I somehow fought them off (the most unbelievable part of this dream), including throwing one guy over a tall fence. Then I hobbled away and got on a ferry. In summary, the game may not go ahead. Edited February 18, 2022 by DA Baracus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Pitch inspection at 1pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Pitch inspection 6 hours 45 mins before kick off? Think that means the game’s off. Grass around Dunfermline seems to be covered in slush, so would imagine the pitch will be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Forecast hasn't come to much so far but been a fair bit of rain on it over the week, fingers crossed it passes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t criticising the inspection being so early - in fact, it’s a good thing to do. It was more that the timing of the inspection suggests that the game’s almost certainly off. You don’t arrange an inspection that early that might pass, only for conditions to get worse throughout the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Think weather conditions to improve as day goes on? Maybe in the west, but not here? Met office and BBC both forecasting heavy snow this afternoon, followed by rain/sleet. So if the pitch isn’t playable (for whatever reason) at 1pm, it won’t be playable later on.That being said, the weather here hasn’t been anywhere near as bad as was forecast the last few days. Wind wasn’t as bad as forecast and it was meant to be snowing heavily all day today and there hasn’t been any snow since I got up for work. I’m not far from East End and slush in gardens seems to have disappeared over the course of the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) No doubt it'll be playable at 3pm tomorrow - not a dig at dunfermline, just sod's law. Edited February 18, 2022 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Yeah, this will be binned. That's a couple times that's happened to us with Friday night games on BBC has it not this season? Pure sod's law, but will benefit us I think tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If it’s not as simple as playing it tomorrow instead then I think first available date would be 15th March? Although that would Thistle’s 7th game in 3 weeks… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Normally, even though we're currently absolute horseshit, I'd really be looking forward to going to a game at EEP. Tonight..........na. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Tomorrow might be alright from a weather perspective, and I’m sure both sets of players and fans would prefer it - but I’d guess it might be challenging to move a game back less than 24 hours because it will involve arranging match officials, catering, stewarding, etc at such short notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete no-go and won't happen. It'll be rearranged for a later date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Can't see there being much accumulation of snow even if it does get heavy, we aren't even covered by the Yellow Warning. The pitch might be water logged but it's usually not too bad for drainage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
