Interesting, and very strong, statement from Dundee on yesterday's postponement.

DUNDEE FC CLUB STATEMENT REGARDING ABERDEEN POSTPONEMENT
Dundee Football Club are extremely disappointed and frustrated at the decision to call off this afternoon’s match against Aberdeen. The club had monitored the condition of the pitch and were not concerned that the match would be postponed. The weather forecast was also closely monitored and it was to be dry and windy come 2.30pm which it was.
When half of the refereeing team arrived, later than would normally be expected, at the Scot Foam Stadium between 1.40pm and 1.50pm they indicated that they would carry out a full pitch inspection. Following the inspection the referee decided that the game was not going to take place and called the match off.
The club are extremely unhappy with what followed next and the actions of the referee. There was no consultation with Police Scotland, club officials, either manager, the SPFL Delegate, the match commander, the safety team or the grounds team. The decision was announced publicly without giving club officials and Police Scotland the opportunity to manage supporter safety considerations.
Additionally, the SPFL has given clear guidelines that referees should take all steps to get matches on, which include delaying kick-off, as was seen with the match this afternoon at Cove.
The club fully believe that the pitch was playable today and this was then illustrated with the players training on the pitch at 3pm.
The club will be seeking clarity from the SPFL and the SFA regarding protocols and match postponements and in the meantime can only apologise to the supporters of both clubs who have been let down by the very late and unnecessary call-off.

Dundee United 1 Thistle 0 at half time. Decent match. United much the better side for the first 25 minutes but Thistle came back into it a bit in last 20. Couple of chances but poor finishing by both sides. Great to watch a match without Var . Game flows .Such better. Looks like a good crowd for a Friday night.

Morgar o Gomez ex United player on at half time. Sutherland says you played for Senegal. What to you think of Sima?  Who? Replies Gomez. The Rangers player splutters Sutherland. Gomez had obviously never heard of h im.  Funny stuff. They assume everyone has heard of players who have played for Rangers for a month or two.

Ended up 3_0. Tony Watt hat trick. Poor second half. United reasonable. Thistle poor.

Saw a bit of Queens Park against Dunfermline and Tottenham against Burnley. Not much difference in entertainment. Tottenham game the players are quicker but by Christ it was boring. 

I also flitted between them - and a few other channels seeking anything interesting.   Boring, indeed.

 

I recall a few tasty, enjoyable games against Dunfermline.  They’ve really lost their way…
