The Treasurer Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I see that "expert pundit" Chris Sutton says it could disadvantage sellik if scumdee have nothing to play for when they play sevco. If he took a minute to check he would realise that, regardless of the weekend results, they can still make the top six by beating sevco.

FWJ Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 On 11/04/2024 at 17:49, frankblack said: That is a non-starter. Clubs who have invested in their own pitches would effectively be disadvantaged financially. It should be a strict condition of Premiership clubs to have this in place or they are either denied promotion or demoted if already there. But that happened to clubs who forked out for a 10k all-seated stadium before (Inverness I think) moaned about it and they changed it.

I get your point, however having working undersoil heating and adequate draimage were still required. How many games have been postponed at Dens vs Tannadice. I'd be interested in seeing those stats for the past say 5 or 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRightPeg Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 10 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Clement really using this to try and deflect from their poor performances these last few weeks. He's cracking. I remember reading Monaco fan reactions when he got the Rangers job and they were very, very critical. I'm actually starting to see parts of this showing through. Rangers don't have a defined style of play, they're extremely direct. On Sunday it was to a fault, County dealt with it and bypassed them with ease. This was a common theme in these Monaco fans online, no style of play, no tactics. They also mentioned his deflection tactics, which wore thin on them eventually and he became exposed. Anything other than a convincing win tonight and he'll start to feel the sweat dripping off of his baldy napper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine the Huns will have been too enamoured with his comments about celebrating a home draw with Celtic. That's up there with Montgomery's 20 seconds from jubilation comment. Clement's reign, so far, has mirrored his predecessor's, and will probably end in a similar way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I remember turning up at Tynecastle several years ago, after travelling several hours, to find the game was off because the pitch was unplayable. So, it can happen occasionally, but it does seem that Dundee have been serial offenders the in pitch (lack of) maintenance stakes. As my Irish granny would have said "hell rub it up them".
