kingjoey Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I like the bit from Rangers that "following strong representations from Rangers, supporters who have tickets for Dens Park will be able to attend the game at McDiarmid Park, should it move." As if that wouldn't have happened if Rangers hadn't made "strong representations". Are they possibly quite full of their own self-importance? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there were fairly credible media suggestions previously that behind closed doors options were being explored for the Motherwell and Rangers games. The idea of Dundee v Motherwell being played at Airdrie with no fans was definitely floated by some, and Motherwell's CEO seemed to suggest it had been brought to the table. That would have been ludicrous, but I have no idea whether the idea had proper legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the Motherwell game, but anyone who seriously thought that the Dundee v Rangers game would be played behind closed doors anywhere, really doesn't understand Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's moved to Perth then other forces are at play here. I think the pitch will be playable for Wednesday night but the sfa won't take the risk and the match will be moved to Perth to make sure the match is definitely played and won't be called off on the day again. Rangers will no doubt be pushing for this too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a dodgy bounce deceiving Butland late in the game to hand the Dee's a late winner? I suspect the league will shite it and bow to their 'strong representations' no matter if the pitch edges towards playable or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it on at McDiarmid, give the **** 3 sides like the regular occupants would, and make bank. Situation is tinpot enough, might as well try and recoup some costs for the call-offs. That'll all be offset by the 6 figure fee you'll be giving us. Has a stadium change ever happened like this before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) It's an absolute nonsense that they are pandering to these c***s. Moving a home game to a neutral venue is far more questionable in terms of integrity than just postponing and playing next week. If they are so worried of a shame game repeat then play it first.

Dundee played Rangers at Tannadice in 1999 because they were doing work on their stand. Gretna played Celtic at Almondvale in 2008 because of the state of the pitch at Fir Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
