Dundee v Whoever They're Playing This Weekend (Or maybe that should the the other way round)


Recommended Posts

Drysdale’s interview really came across to me as someone saying “we’ve been aware we need to invest in the park but just haven’t bothered but now that we’ve been caught out and everyone is either laughing at us or raging with us we will actually do something about it”.

Theres a street in Edinburgh (sure theres more than one) with a hidden burn running under one side of the street - and the tenements all have subsidence.

The other side, 20 yards across the road? None.

Its not always as simple as that.

The Jordan burn and and Comiston Burn have caused problems in Morningside. The Jordan led to flats having to be demolished at one stage and you can still see the buttresses holding up the buildings behind the Sainsbury Local shop. Various houses on one side of  Comiston Road just  past South Morningside primary school have "squint"mantles above the doors. I reall the terraced houses at the bottom of Comiston Road all being vacated for a period in the early 2000s to allow concrete to be poured into them, it took weeks.

Imagine getting this upset about wet grass.

It's a bit embarrassing getting laughed at over it all but it's deserved and some of it is quite good patter.

But again, I reiterate, imagine getting angry about wet grass. Fair few people outing themselves as people that need their hard drives checked IMO.

Stop getting Dundee watercourses wrong!! It's the Butter Burn not the Dens Burn.

Butterburn, at the top of Hilltown, was a rivulet that took its rise in the Law, ran down what is now Hill Street, and by the existing Main Street course became the tributary of the Dens Burn.

Streetwise: Butterburn | Leisure and Culture Dundee

The Dens burn starts somewhere along Strathmore Avenue and runs down Dens rd where it's met by the Butter burn.

YOU stop getting Dundee watercourses wrong!!

Seems to be an awful lot of experienced soil mechanics engineers here tonight. I can tell by their comparison of two different areas of ground and the analysis "the ground over there should have the exact same drainage as that ground over there" Devastating insight. 

Yes, there's almost as many of those types of soil engineers about today as there are those who offer the counter insight of "a burn runs through this side's system so, of course there's going to be drainage issues that are entirely localised to the 100m x 64m area of the pitch in Dens Park".

The game going ahead 3 miles away on a local park is more relevant IMO.GK0iKWYWEAAop7k.thumb.jpeg.229a31001997b3bfe9d699fa736d0bba.jpeg

 Nobody has said they’re entirely localised to the pitch.

As for Eric Drysdale, he has a point that we need to put work into the pitch and we have had more than our fair share of abysmal weather this year but the way he phrased it, deserves all the laughter it gets.
