Skol 401 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I may be wrong here, but didn't it used to be Postponed = Replay, Abandoned = Result? I think there did used to be a rule along those lines but the match had to be reasonably far on (e.g 75 mins). Can't remember what the cut off was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thats a total joke of a desisison fucking arabs didnt do a damn thing to try and help get the water off the pitch fucking joke What do you want them to do, forking the pitch ain't going to help the pitch was only going to get worse and start cutting up. how will we ever know if forking the pitch would have helped, they diddnt even bloddy try imho that pitch is playable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey_RFC 122 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 For fuck sake Calling a game off because of rain, fucking man up and take it. Feel sorry for those Bears who have travelled a fair distance to get up there. To be fair...it was the ref's decision....not the players! Yes, I'm aware of that but I just want to see us play football and get the result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,645 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Nothing less than cheating by calling a replay at this stage, apaprently it was fine to start with and now you cant play now we are suddenly 1-0 up at half-time? Obvious cheating. Shame of the referee and Dundee United. Bullshit & talk about paranoia !!! The pitch is completely unplayable & it's obvious to anyone with a modicum of commen sense. I have played in much worse conditions in this, if i a total amateur football player can play in it then professionals can. that would be down to ignorance of the risks rather than being a "tough" man and playing through that kind of playing field. This is a game & it's not worth the risk of a dangerous incident occuring where a player could come to harm ... broken leg or worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro 32 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 A game involving Turkey during Euro 2008 had worse wet conditions than this, and that game was completed. I remember that, this is bullshit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_no1fan 13 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Correct call IMO. 1 mistake and we lose a goal or player Common sense by the referee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warden90 0 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 so what will happen to all the fans who were at the game? they payed all that money just to see one half? gutted They'll probably be told to keep there ticket and use it when its re played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArturBorucRangersLegend 1 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Do I get my money from the bookies back then? If the bet's been settled then you can still collect your winnings, if not you can get your money back...I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreckedroy 33 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Correct call IMO. 1 mistake and we lose a goal or player Common sense by the referee There were a couple of times (at least) in the 1st half when the ball slowed or stopped in standing water, therefore the correct decision has been made according to the rules. Unfortunately I can see Dundee from my house and the rain is now easing off!! The pitch would only have gotten worse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't work like that, it only takes one freak occurence & bang ... McGregor gets a kick to the face or Davis falls under a late tackle because the ball isn't where you think it would be.

Let's suck it up, man up and see it as a bonus. By the replay we may have Bougherra back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Cheating bastards Conditions were only going to get worse, nothing really could be done by Dundee Utd it's just one of those things. I add again - no groundsmen at HT. They would have been out in mass if they were winning 1-0 Unless they had a water pump too sook the water up they were nothing they could do, it's just one of those things. Games have been played in much worse conditions. Are you saying that it is acceptable that they did not have the ground staff out at half time? Not anymore they don't, player safety was up for debate and if somebody picked up a bad injury we would have been up in arms. Ground staff couldn't do anything with the pitch it had so much standing water on it, that water ain't going to disappear. It's only going to damage the pitch and start to cut up as players slide about more. The refs make a decision on the pitch, and take into consideration on how the weather is looking for the 2nd half. It's frustrating cause we were 1-0 up but it was the right decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
