The Master Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I see we've got a rookie ref for this. Iain Snedden, who started his season with Civil Service Strollers v East Stirling in the Lowland League. I realise referees have to start somewhere, but to go from the Lowland League to the Premiership in the same season, and before Christmas, seems...concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know if a rookie ref has ever came straight in to referee a Celtic or Rangers game (or a Celtic vs Rangers fans) and if not why not? Every club in the league should be treated the s……. Actually forget it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense to give the better officials the more challenging games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing this is because a chunk of the usual top refs now sit re-reffing the game from Clydesdale House, so they’re having to fast-track new guys through. Yet another issue with VAR, but that’s a debate for another thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Like a few others have said, it’s deeply concerning that a Dundee side in the Premiership appear to be wholly competent. The signings of the Mexican lads suggested they’d be up to their usual nonsense, but one of them has turned out decent and most of their other acquisitions look like good business. I especially like Bakayoko up top - looks a handful. Will be a tough one today, but the late equaliser at Celtic Park hopefully gives us a boost to take the game to Dundee and get out this rut. With Slattery suspended I’m guessing we’ll see Butcher in midfield along with Paton and Spittal, and I hope we can get Obika and Biereth on the park together to try and work on that partnership. Feels like a 1-1 (if it’s on) but would bite your hand off for any sort of win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatermass Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Any decision will be taken very soon due to the away fans. I’d imagine the pitch is fine but surrounding areas could be the big problem. If the game goes ahead will the away fans be housed in the POD? Never a fan of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee carry a decent away support, no? Unless there were safety concerns around snow/access along Dalziel Drive I'd think they'll be in the South. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always clubs that carry a ‘smaller risk’ but it makes for a better atmosphere when away fans are in the South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu2910 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 What on earth are the safety concerns in the lower south that don’t apply in the upper? Potential for throwing snowballs? Icicles falling from the roof? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as simple as seats and stairwells near the front of the lower being covered in snow that they can't be arsed clearing, so with the upper area being better protected against the elements they're using that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
