manc_don Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Great...I was really looking forward to today. No chance i'll be able to make it next week either. Quote
chunk Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Just nipped out onto Princes Street and it looks pretty grim to be honest. Nothing to do but wait now I guess... Quote
mizer Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 5 mins to the inspection, looking dark and still raining.......still going to the pub though Quote
BrownyBrown Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Got the afternoon off just so I could travel down to this match. It better be on! Quote
Drew Peacock Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Well, from a purely selfish point of view I sincerely hope it's off - i cant make tonight but I might be able to go to the rearranged game. Plus - We've got a squad ravaged by injuries. By the time next week comes we should have most of our guys fit again, Barry Robson and their polish goalie might have fucked off to the bigot brothers, and the game might get televised which will bring in some extra bucks. Bummer for those of you on your way down but uit's better to know now i suppose - by all accounts the prospect of the game going ahead sounds a bit gloomy . Quote
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 GAME OFF Back to work for me then! Quote
manc_don Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Shite. Was looking forward to it. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Anybody still going to the pub?....... Quote
mizer Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 Anybody still going to the pub?....... Yes, me and peterheid Quote
mizer Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 Indeed! What time and where? Diggers for 6? We can have a pre-munich party to annoy the jambos Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Atleast Robson and their polish keeper might have left by the time the replay comes round! Quote
stubo72 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Atleast Robson and their polish keeper might have left by the time the replay comes round! My thoughts (and hopes) precisely. Could work out well for team, despite being a massive pain and expense for those already en route! Glad they didn't leave it any later at least! Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Peter Roy phoned me about 10 mins ago to the say the game was off. He also said refunds will be given for tickets that can't be used. Quote
mizer Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 Just back home and the puddles have disappeared from my carpark and nearby park no longer has surface water. A couple of guys from the pub team are training on the park, ball running across it ok. Also had a wee wander on the grass at the back and not squeltchy. Pity the decision had to be made so early for people getting down as I think by time of KO it would have been ok (as long as it doesn't rain again). The decision at 2pm was correct though as it was wet as fuck. Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 He phoned me earlier saying 'the rain's stopped, the game could be on if they'd waited until now!'. Having seen the pitch on Reporting Scotland earlier, I doubt it would've been playable at all, the ball wouldn't bounce. Quote
One Bobby Clark Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Have to say, I'm fairly satisfied with the call off, given the number of players we have missing for today. Quote
Cowie Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Hopefully this is the sliver lining of the rain cloud..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/7216434.stm Quote
mizer Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 He phoned me earlier saying 'the rain's stopped, the game could be on if they'd waited until now!'. Having seen the pitch on Reporting Scotland earlier, I doubt it would've been playable at all, the ball wouldn't bounce. Yuir still nae in a great mood then Im nae bothered, ground is 5mins fae my flat, pub 2 mins, nad hopefully nae Robson! Quote
