    Dundee v Rangers postponed, Rangers are “angry”!

    Good,

    I am angry that a bunch of bigots get to travel round the country spreading hatred every week, with no consequences.

    Good for Hibs tbh. Heavy pitch plus post-Europe probably shortened the odds a little on Dundee getting a result.

    The match officials will be even more pissed off missing out on a chance to see their team live.

    Huns? Where would we be without their permanently furious, obese purple faces?

    They have a point about the pitch at Dundee. Not fit for purpose. Think that’s 4 or 5 postponements this season.

    Irrespective of who the visiting team are, they're entitled to be angry here. Ridiculous situation caused by a club whose pitch is clearly not fit for purpose.

    As someone else has mentioned tho, it might work in our favour. Personally I think Dundee should be docked 3 points ;-)

    A gazillion gallons more rain falling obviously doesn't help older stadia but they've no interest in sorting issues as they are looking for a move away from Dens.

    Anything that upsets the currents is also OK in my book.

    Deep in therapy about the injustice suffered to Rangers and their traveling support. We are all connected in the cosmic field and their pain is mine.

    Pray for Bobby.

    In all seriousness...when is the appropriate time to call a game off?

    Between plastic pitches and repeated proponents due to a water logged pitch at Dundee it certainly makes Scottish football less than professional.

    Well, their beloved UK has its first parliament since ww2 where British subjects are poorer at the end of the parliament than they were at the start

    And thats fully down to Brexit (the British Nationalism project)

    They spend money on players not the pitch and make the top six…

    Do clubs not use covers like Wimbledon does on the tennis courts, even if just for a few hours on the bad areas when it was raining overnight?

    It was only a couple of patches that were unplayable so they could have just put up a couple of gazebos over those bits. 🤔

    Dundee should be heavily fined for the postponements they’ve had this season. Most have happened on a weekend when most/all other games have been played.

    You've got to feel sorry for those that have travelled all the way from Northern Ireland. They can always console themselves with the fact that Bobby Sands has died.

    Celtic wiki page :-

    With Hibs deservedly leading through two fine goals thick fog descended on Parkhead. With only five minutes left referee Davidson abandoned the game much to the disgust of Hibs' manager Eddie Turnbull who fumed 'There is no way Celtic would have won that game'.
    SFA referees' supervisor Jack Mowat backed Davidson by saying that he had acted correctly by stopping the game.

    Sadly the game was marred by an invasion of fans from the Jungle who took advantage of the fog to run on the field.

    The Celtic fans in the 33,000 cheered loudly as the game was abandoned but Hibs were left nursing a sense of injustice.

    And where does the water go from the gazebo?? It doesn't magically evaporate.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.
