Dundee United A v Rangers A (merged)

[proud_and_green]

So what is the best result for tomorrow?

A draw, puts us and the huns on level points.

A Hun Win puts them two points ahead, but keeps the Arabs at bay.

A Utd win, puts us in confirmed second, but brings Utd back up on our heels.

I confess to being more concerned about the Arabs than i am about the current buns and would, i think, rather create some space between us and them. But i guess it depends on what we see as our goal - is it the 3rd spot or 2nd...?

[CallumLaidlaw]

a draw for me, then a Hun win.

[Jonnyboy]

A draw

[Removed]

Defo a draw

[Elephant Stone]

Utd win!

[Si_17]

Draw please.

[bobbyhibs1983]

Utd win!

agree, would like to see utd beat the huns and then when we play united we beat them:wink:

[--------]

Draw. Hurts both of them. :agree:

Garnished with red cards and a few longish-term injuries would be nice, too.

Since neither of them is in any position to make big buys in January....

[down-the-slope]

Seconded:greengrin

[Hibee Mick]

Rangers to win by 5 clear goals please.

Utd could be our challengers for 3rd place

[Sir David Gray]

United win.

Keeps us in 2nd place and if they win 3-0, Rangers will be down in 4th place. :thumbsup:

Everyone's a winner.

[Bayern Bru]

Moderately sized Leitrim Hibee agrees.


But Falkirk makes a decent point...

[weststandhibby]

got to be a utd win. anyone beating the unwashed is a result

[brythehibby]

Draw or Huns win.

Lets be realistic third is the goal, if we can do better great, but utd are our biggest rivals at the minute.

[danhibees1875]

a draw for me, then a Hun win.

This.

But, we can just take whatever happens tomorow and just look at the positive implications. :thumbsup:

[MyJo]

nil nil draw :thumbsup:

[joe breezy]

United win would do me. If Hibs continue to do well and beat the Arabs there is no need to worry about them. Rangers are stronger and we didn't beat them at Ibrox so they are the danger (along with Celtic of course) I also hate Rangers and Celtic and the only way I'd ever want them to win would be if it had an immediate, definite positive impact for Hibs.

[Brooster]

What would be the best result for us at Tannadice today? I tend to think we should still be concentrating on 3rd therefore a Rangers win would do for me.

[ronaldo7]

0-0 draw with 3 sent off for each side:thumbsup:

[ArabHibee]

United to hump the Huns by at least 3 goals with a few Hun sending offs! :pray:

[Captain Trips]

Utd win for me, a great mental boost to be ahead of Rangers after 10 games and only 3 off top.

[col02]

United win for me to keep a nice tight group going at the top of the table.

[hibee_girl]

Utd win :agree:

Wouldn't be unhappy with a draw though

[Westie1875]

Utd win, keep the pressure up on those huns!

[Hiber-nation]

We can't really lose here. I suppose if you're being realistic a huns win would be best but no way could I ever cheer on that lot.

[hibee_girl]

The atmosphere is building at Tynecastle for today's game according to the woman on Sky :greengrin

[mim]

United win, because I hate the huns and it's nice to be second (although first is better :wink:)

[AugustaHibs]

BAR :grr::grr::grr:

[Mikey]

What channel is it on?

[hibee_girl]

Sky Sports 3

[AugustaHibs]

How can they play in that puddle. The huns are not real footballers are they?






































:wink:.

[AugustaHibs]

How did he miss? :grr::grr:

[hibee_girl]

1-0 Rangers

[ChilliEater]

Just rewound and pressed pause to check and that decision was tighter than the waistband on Nade's shorts. Probably onside but couldn't say for certain. When its that tight the benefit is meant to go to the attacking team, so good decision.

[hibee_girl]

Off the bar again :grr:

[Minder]

Still second :thumbsup:

[joe breezy]

Game is off, huns have wasted a journey, we're still 2nd :thumbsup:

[joe breezy]

Go home ya huns sing the United fans :thumbsup:

[Alex Trager]

Match is off!!

[magpie1892]

Hope so. Game is deteriorating.

[Betty Boop]

Game brought to a halt due to the weather.

[NOLA]

abandoned HAHA!

[YehButNoBut]

Confirmed on Sky, match abandoned.

[M8UDB]

Second for another week!! c'mon the Hibees. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[hibiedude]

Game had to be abandoned.

[CallumLaidlaw]

best result possible. They've both played a tough 45 mins, which would probably have felt like 90, we stay 2nd, and now they will have to fit another game into their schedules. :thumbsup:
Feel sorry for the (D.utd) fans tho :wink::agree:

[Sloppy]

abandoned HAHA!
cumon that wasnt an option :devil:

[Toaods]

not bothered watching...did the lights fail??

[hibiedude]

not bothered watching...did the lights fail??

Rain stopped play :greengrin

[blackpoolhibs]

The best result for us, and its fantastic that so many huns wasted their time and money for nothing. Well done God and the ref.

[Sylar]

Does the full 90 minutes get replayed, or only the second half?

[Toaods]

Rain stopped play :greengrin

wimps.

[_hucks_]

Does the full 90 minutes get replayed, or only the second half?

Full 90

[sleeping giant]

Does the full 90 minutes get replayed, or only the second half?

You kidding ?:greengrin

Full match

[AugustaHibs]

Highlights of the game yesterday just shown. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Speedy]

What does that mean then?

Restart from 0-0? Or start from second half at 1-0?

[The_Horde]

I was going to put that, where was the other option? :greengrin

[AugustaHibs]

Restart 0-0

[blackpoolhibs]

What does that mean then?

Restart from 0-0? Or start from second half at 1-0?

Yes thats what happens.:faf:

[BroxburnHibee]

Sorry, i couldn't resist a wee edit to the OP :greengrin

[Hamish]

How much utter nonsense did Andy Walker come out with:bitchy:

[Speedy]

Yes thats what happens.:faf:

It may sound daft because it's a replay unless the rules state otherwise but it wouldn't surprise me when it comes to the OF.

[the_ginger_hibee]

Yes thats what happens.:faf:

To be fair BH....

theres been worse :greengrin (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4091901.stm)

Do Sky take Scottish football seriously? What was their female presenter on today? Apart from being a looker and probably the only reason Neil McCann was there, her talents as a presenter were rank. First she comes out with the statement ‘ The tension is building here at Tynecastle’, then at halftime she hypes the up coming games
‘ Birmingham takes on Man City, tomorrow, on no it’s today, today is Sunday isn’t it?’ And finally after the games was abandoned, ‘Well it just shows you what the West of Scotland weather can do!’

Yeah, feel sorry for the Hun fans and their wasted journeys. They'll need to traipse back to their homes in Dundee, Forfar, Montrose etc etc :greengrin

[Alicky Ranks]

What does that mean then?

Restart from 0-0? Or start from second half at 1-0?

If a full half of the game has been completed it would surely make sense to start from the second half at 1-0? I recall reading that back in the 70s Hibs were winning 2-0 at Parkhead with just minutes to go and the game got called off. Seems daft that the whole game has to be replayed when so much of it has already been completed.

She used to work for Rangers TV, fronted a programme called Ibrox Uncovered. Bluenose through and through.

[Mag7]

Yes thats what happens

Interesting to hear they will only replay the second half. I wasn't aware that was the ruling. Is that because the game reached half time? I've always thought it unfair on the team that's winning to have to play the whole game again in such circumstances (even if it is the huns).

[Minder]

Starts 0-0 and is played for full 90 minutes.

[Alex B]

Does the full 90 minutes get replayed, or only the second half?


I'm pretty sure they will play only the second half. I remember a game a few years back involving Real Madrid when it got abandoned with something like 15 minutes to go and they only replayed the final 15 minutes.

Also, what was that Scotland game many years back when all we had to do was kick off to win the game?

It would be funny for the Huns if they had to replay the whole game but I accept that would be unfair seeing as they were winning at half time.

That was because the other team didn't show up IIRC

[Sir David Gray]

They will definitely replay the full 90 minutes and the rearranged match will begin at 0-0.

[Alex B]

They will definitely replay the full 90 minutes and the rearranged match will begin at 0-0.

You sure? Has that just been announced?

[joe breezy]

It's always the full game that gets replayed - dunno what the Spanish were up to, suppose it was so late in the game and they didn't want to let hooliganism win or something?

[Ozyhibby]

Hopefully it will be in the new year and Rangers will be without a few of their top players due to their finances.

[Hibercelona]

Can't believe people were backing Rangers for the win.

Rangers look a shambles... and we are in for a real chance for 2nd IMO.

I hope they lose all their games.

I remember a few years back I was at the St Johnstone V Hibs game which was abandoned at half time because of snow. The replay was the full ninety minutes but maybe that was because it was 0-0 when abandoned. :confused:

Mind you I remember Hibs playing at Dens Park and the game was abandoned at half time when we were getting horsed and the replay was the full ninety.

Is this a new FIFA ruling that you only replay the outstanding time.

[joe breezy]

It will be the WHOLE game that is replayed

[Sir David Gray]

You sure? Has that just been announced?

It's not been announced but that is definitely what will happen.

There's no way that they will only play 45 minutes.

[blackpoolhibs]

Its just been announced that the game will be replayed, and only the 17th, 23rd and 42nd minutes will be played again.

[Kojock]

[IWasThere2016]

That doesnae give United long to equalise! Typical West Coast bias again! :grr:

I know, you couldn't make this **** up eh.:greengrin

[bob12345]

I think it must be down to the individual association? In Scotland it has always been the full 90 minutes unless a team has a claim for the game, e.g. One set of fans gets the game abandoned.

In Spain they've just replayed a part of it a couple of times recently. Didn't a Madrid Betis game play just the last few minutes?

[blueisthecolour]

The whole game gets replayed, and it starts 0-0, we have to keep our ticket stubs that will gain us entry to the rearranged game, with a date being announced tomorrow.

[Leithenhibby]

According to SKY, Radgers are third in the league 4 points behind Sellick.

Probably another team in the equation but they didn't get a mention as it would probably lead to some explanation about there being more than two teams in the SPL.
With this being Sunday, the researchers are probably having a day off so that kind of information wouldn't be readily available.

:cool2: Nice one...

You can't help but feel rotten for the fans that paid at the gate who will have to pay all over again.

So if your ticket stub admits entry to the replay surely they will only let you in for the second half as you have already seen the first. :confused:

[blackpoolhibs]

I hope most of them threw their stubs away, and those who didn't, cant make the rearranged fixture. Now that would be funny.

[blueisthecolour]

You can then get your money back:wink:

Doubt many would have thrown stub away as it was easy to see the game may have been called off.

The weather in Dundee was getting worse as the day went on.

Was this an official announcement ?

As the game reached half time there is no requirement to allow you into the rearranged game for nowt.

Any game I have been to thats been abandoned at half time the fans have been admitted to the replay at a reduced rate.

[Mag7]

It will be the WHOLE game that is replayed

Why not just the second half? They've already completed the first half :confused:

Yes mate, that was the announcement over the tannoy when we were being told the game was off.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

BBC website has today's SPL result as "Dundee Utd 0 Rangers 1 due to heavy rainfall".

If I didn't know the match had been abandoned, I'd be a trifle confused!! :greengrin

[Kojock]

Yes mate, that was the announcement over the tannoy when we were being told the game was off.

Excellent gesture by United especially given their financial plight.

BTW I was joking about only getting in for the second half. :wink:

[gringojoe]

Why not just the second half? They've already completed the first half :confused:

Because you would need to start the rearranged 2nd half with the same squad of 16 players and by then any amount of players could have been injured, dropped due to loss of form. For some reason bookings still count even though the match was abandoned but Davis wont get the goal credited to him.

[ArabHibee]

Im not sure if your joking.

No we get full 90 mins and we lose the goal we already scored.

Goal was offside anyway.

[Alicky Ranks]

Yes thats what happens.:faf:

Is that actually such a daft question? Other outdoor sports like tennis and golf are often abandoned because of the rain but resume at the stage they were stopped rather than starting all over again.

I think he has a point actually. It's only because we have a mindset that the whole game needs to be played again that we think it odd to suggest only playing what remains. It would also prevent any cluttering up of the fixture card if they simply played the rest of the game asap after the abandonment eg tomorrow or Tuesday morning. That would also cut policing costs due to the smaller crowd, while those who did manage along should be let in free.

[Alicky Ranks]

I'm not sure if it's ever happened, but I was just comparing the situation to other sports. Some golf or tennis matches are washed out for a whole day before they can be resumed (which is really the same principle as having to re-arrange a football match for another day) but they don't start all over again. Bottom line, why should Dundee United (or whoever is involved) be allowed to start with a clean slate after going in at half time 1-0 down?

And how about the Real Madrid game that was mentioned earlier? Was that OK that they only played the final six minutes in the rescheduled game?

[jgl07]

Yes, but they played 90 minutes. I do not think any football match thats been abandoned at half time, has ever been replayed with the replayed game only lasting 45 minutes. :faf:
I do recall a match in Italy )or Germany?) being replayed for the last three minutes after an abandonment.

The rule is if a match is abandoned unless the score is allowed to stand, the match is null and void and has never happened.

Replay over 90 minutes with the scores re-set to 0-0. Any goals scored in the abandoned will not be credited the the scorer.

Denis Law lost those six goals from his career record.

Shows what a silly rule it is when you stop to think about it! Why should a game which is halfway through (or even further progressed) have to be started all over again because the rain stopped it from continuing?

What we think should be done, and what the rules state, are 2 different things.

Just because 'them's the rules' surely doesn't preclude a debate about whether they're right or not? Rules are there to be changed if they don't make much sense (or even ignored completely in the case of the Sunderland v Liverpool 'beachball goal'). In my view, the rules concerning an abandoned game of football should be looked at. When you've played an entire half of the game it seems plain daft to start all over again like it never happened. If it meant nothing at all why do the highlights still get shown and why do papers carry reports on the first half action? The sensible solution when rescheduling would be to play only the second 45 minutes with the score at 1-0.

I cant believe the posts on here asking if all the game should be replayed. You are defo taking he piss!!!??? have been to loads of abandoned games and all were fully replayed (except rr away pre season). worst of all hibs were winning 2 nil at darkheid with 9 mins left. game abandoned cos of fog. drew reaaranged game one all, erich scoring for us

That's exactly the point a lot of us are trying to make. Why, really, should this be the ruling when it is often so unfair on one team? I find it strange that it's just been accepted for so long that this is the best way to deal with an abandoned game ie start it all over again even if a huge chunk of it has been played.

Nobody is saying its not fair, or only the 2nd half should be played, its those who are asking what happens with the replayed game. There has been no game, repeat no game that i know of, thats been abandoned at half time because of the weather, or any other reason, replayed with only 45 minutes played in the replay. It amazes me that people would even ask this question, and amazes me even more people dont automatically know this rule. I mean its happened so many times before, you would think everyone would know.
