Dundee v Rangers Match Thread

F*cking ridiculous.Mate in Broughty Ferry says it's been pissing down for hours,getting heavier as time passes. Game will be off.Disgraceful that one club can f*ck up an entire league programme,as well as doing us out of another chance to go top.

Match rearranged Wednesday 17/04/24 8.00 pm

I hope they’re relegated.

The club should be suing for hotel costs and loss of 2 days training

Fabio Silva said he would have preferred the water to be deeper.

They should scrap the P from SPFL. What happened here for the second time is anything but professional. It's a disgrace.

Will Dundee be punished or let off as a reward for the missing email to end the season early by the SPFL.

Back in the day that was an actual rule , no league games midweek for the clubs involved in cup semis and finals .

No and Yes

I see in some places we are being accused of refusing a request to play the game last Wednesday before the OF game totally ignoring the obvious in an attempt to change the narrative and shift some of the blame on to us.

First of all the SPFL would not ASK us to play the game last Wednesday , they would just have rearranged it and TOLD us to play it then.
Secondly , SKY were due to televise this game and did not want it on when they had a full EPL programme including live games last Wednesday.
Thirdly , would the Dens Park Duck Pond have been any better then , it rained a lot last week and was bad enough that their game with Motherwell , could , and probably should have been postponed on Saturday .That doesn`t suggest that it was any better last week than this .
We have offered to play today , and at a neutral venue either yesterday or today we really can`t do any more short of offering to move it to Ibrox which I`m sure was never considered given the conspiracies it would throw up.

Can`t believe that idiot Drysdale blamed global warming when Tannadice which is across the street is playable , what an embarrassing a`hole .After the first couple of times they should have bought proper covers not relied on borrowing them from others when they know they have a problem .If they are fined the money should go to reimburse the Rangers fans and the rest used to buy the covers they seem so reluctant to spend money on .Maybe they should have used some of the money they have forked out on wages to the 10 loan signings they have brought up from England.

The amount of vitriol directed at our players,and in some cases ,our manager,has been astonishing,but not going to say anything other than they deserve it,every f*cking word of it. We could be 5 points ahead of Scum right now,with a game in hand,if we had won our last three league games.
Clement has been sucked in by the Tav/Goldson hype,unforgivably imo. Two guys who have been involved in every bottled big game since 2018,including a Europa league final,and who have spooked the whole team with their regular screw-ups in those games.
Think we'll beat Dundee,also think we'll beat Hertz at weekend,but the soft centre of our team will eventually drop us in it again.

We have only won 2 out of our last 7 games.
Manager is responsible for picking the same wasters time after time

Always thought Tavernier wasn't that bright,especially when he was breeding bloody dangerous dogs,but his comment in the red tops today that Sunday was "out of character for us" confirms it...no,it was entirely in character for a team you captain in a crunch game....f*cking unreal lack of self awareness.

Scum away to Dundee and Killie,we have Killie and Dundee at home.
Home or away,we have to win 5 games,end of.
