weeyin Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Never been a huge fan of Rangers and their statements, but hard to argue with this one: Quote "The negligence and unprofessionalism demonstrated by Dundee Football Club, where they have repeatedly breached SPFL rules, continues to have a damaging effect on the top professional league in the country," Rangers commented in a club statement. "In a week where record TV viewing figures were recorded for a match in the same competition, and this evening's game due to be televised again by Sky Sports, this episode is deeply embarrassing and has also been eminently avoidable. "Rangers expects the SPFL to take proportionate and decisive action in accordance with its rules, and the club will continue to make representations to them in the strongest possible manner."

Wee Dougie Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Dundee are now in a position that, yes if they get a result on Saturday there top 6,but the difference is tgey get a free hit at Rangers, rather than being under pressure to perform on Saturday. Hopefully the Spfl will deduct them points, it's not as if they haven't been warned. I was at the game on Saturday and as I left, said to my mate, if it Rains, no way is the game on on Wednesday. Relegate them, spend on players and but 2 ton of sand for the pitch, ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I see Dundee's latest excuse is there has been more rain due to climate change - conveniently forgetting that every other club is operating in the same climate, including their friends across the street, but without the floods.

Kmcalpin Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 It's high time they were punished. This had gone on long enough and they've done nothing to address the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Dundee, fine them 20 points, it will make the relegation battle more interesting. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 It's a tough call, but on balance I'd rather Dundee fixed their drainage and stayed up than Raith Rovers or Airdrie get promoted with their plastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a possible vote to make grass pitches mandatory for our League it might take them a bit longer than they think🤔. 0https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/premiership-clubs-vote-banning-plastic-32311245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee will stubbornly not do so unless forced. That's where the difference lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Motherwell Utd had a playable pitch across the street I doubt even Boyle would have tried that excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Are there roadworks in Motherwell this weekend? If so, what is the best route from the East (M8)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the road through Ravenscraig, next to the New College, is closed on Saturday and Sunday. I think also there are currently traffic lights on Windmillhill street too but I don't know when that work finishes. Best way is probably down on to the M74 and up Airbles Road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that can't be argued is that there is a great team spirit which is so obvious in the goal celebrations. Davor and Dan the man prime examples Understand what you say and agree that we usually blow it. COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
