That’s the only upside but it’s another game that’ll have to be fitted in sometime 

Were we still in the Europa, I'd be concerned, but to be honest this is a plus.  Half the team looked gubbed on Thursday so this was a potential banana skin, especially on a heavy pitch.

Yes it's annoying that we can't go straight back to the top, but it's the position at the end of the season that counts

[Vanoli 4,625]

Mortifying. Sky will be dropping our league before they offer up a penny more.

Has Dessers missed a one on one yet?

Maybe their email went into Rangers spam folder?

Probably sent it to Liewell for permission to cancel the game.

I like the one that says it keeps happening at Ibrox 

[BlueVanguard 6,775]

It's an absolute ball ache that this has happened. Dundee have had previous this season for doing this? Pretty sure it was Christmas/New Year and it was because of a " Supposed " Night out the club had planned.

The fans who Support us travel from Ireland and England and all over the UK with some even coming from Europe. It stinks and Dundee should have had the potential warnings out last night. 

Apart from that these games can be crucial to people's mental health to forget about real life shite and switch off and watch us playing and interacting with other fans through social media or going out to local supporters clubs/pubs to watch the games with other bears. Or even bonding with family,kids watching at home so calling a game off can affect your day.

The rest will be good for team as we looked fucked on Thursday and we can give the newly returned players a few weeks rest. Plus I am pretty sure Danilo is due back at the end of the month. 

Dundee should face a fine or at least some punishment.

Mutants. We go top if we win and would likely still be there for the scum game ....but aye, we want it called off for a rest. Not like we won't be playing 3 games in the week of said scum game. They are not well in the head

[Redmond7 1,049]

'The leagues rigged' - yeah has been for the past 12 years but lets not mention that little point eh. People from the outside, looking in, must look at that and think oh dear that poor club seem to get shafted a lot, then check the fact of total dominance for a decade and more and wonder what kind of special weirdos they are. What next, Bayern fans saying German football is against them.

Was he not due back into training at the end of March early April? Fair enough thought I read that.

May is all I've read and that's best case. He will be lucky to play again this season and even if he's back training he will be miles off starting games.

Good lol, about time we start our own subscription service 

[MurrayWilson 3,433]

Clement having a go at the league for not enforcing standards in regards to pitches. And no fuckin wonder. A lot of them are a disgrace that you cant play passing football on. Nothing is done about it, St johnstone have even been known to purposely get their pitch in that nick as a "leveller". It makes for a shite spectacle but "its scotland, thats the way we like it" apparently.

These past 6 months has bound to be a big wake up call for him about this league. There are farces and then there's this.

Apparently the pitch would have been ok by 3pm. Delayed kick off was discussed but dismissed. Don't understand why.

I'd imagine this is where Sky had their say with regards to scheduling. 

As much as it would have been a bit of a pain for supporters who had arrived at the stadium and travelled, and the players for preperation etc, a 3pm kick off would have been a good compromise and mean there wouldnt be a fixture spare to play.

Apparently Sky were ok with a later kick off time ?

Really strange decision then if Sky and i assume we were ok with a later kick off time

Pitch wouldn't have been fine by 3. Dundee are fuds.

[Boybluesy 3,738]

Watched Greenock Morton play Hearts recently and their pitch was immaculate, and they've got webbed feet in Inverclyde.  Compare some of the first division clubs to St. Johnstone and Aberdeen, and now Dundee.  Their pitches are a lot better. It's a fucking disgrace. At least three shite parks, add in Livingston and Kilmarnock.  Shambolic situation.
