Tommy Cumming has indeed said that the snow on the pitch would be left there, and pitch heating turned on on friday, if the snow is cleared and not too bad a frost.. then we should be ok. Its important financially for the game to go ahead, a midweek replay will cost the club thousands.

I think we will have Butcher for the remainder of the season no matter what. He has a contract which we will not write off and he has no job to go to, so why would he walk? we can only hope he turns it round starting saturday.... ie scoring more than the opposition.

Thats the spirit Mannie!!! think we have to be a wee bit positive, If only we could convert chances to goals, that is the difference. From a footballing sense i've not seen anything about Dee that scares me.. just putting the ball in the net, with Barrenman not getting a game, Foran not looking anywhere near 20 goals and Sandshooes hardly prolific it leaves Rooney as out main striker, and his hit rate is hellish although he tries hard. Anyway saturday (if the game is on) will be a test of the players resolve and we will see what they are made of.

Aye, good news alright, would the club let the camera operators use the scaffolding opposite the main stand ? or would it be from Don's glass cage?

Thank god for principal then...

Why? Was he surprised? He hasn't been named in the squad since the Morton game on October 31st. Difference is that this time he threw a benny and stormed out, he would normally stay and watch the game i'm told.

Same team for me, Duff did well, he seemed to fit in no prob and seemed to solidify midfield. Jimmyjabi deserves to keep his place, but Barrowman stormed out of the stadium well before kickoff when he found out he wasn't in the squad.

Two thousand seven hundred and sixty three, and a lot of fog. thought you were out on the pysh?

Great stuff.... oh and get the thermals on!!! either that or a few drams..

Its more to do with what the ref can see, can he clearly see his assistants etc, mind you some ref's dont see a lot of things, fog might lift later it did for a whi;e yesterday.

That will do for me, no prob.... 3 points :tonguecheek:

I'm just glad we didnt sign up to a Romanian food company...

Depends where it was dispatched from.. Wasn't in today.

The answer as they say... is in the pie. Kind of difficult when yer days work is 30 mins before a game and 15-20 mins at half time, cant see how they can make big changes to the system as it is, other than make more profit at the expense of.... quality?

How's the referee training getting on Rory? :)

See we have Frank McDermott ....... who???? another useless egotistic ref no doubt. And... Alan Muir is at Dons vs Hamilton.. fancy a bet on a red card or two at Pittodrie?

Where did you hear about one match bans? if they are sent off for 2nd yellow ( non violent) is it not just the points added and no straight match ban?

Oh aye, forgot to say did anyone see the pic on the back page of yesterdays courier? Butch sitting in the stand with Roddy Ross glowering at him!! if looks could kill...

Butch has been banned from the touchline for two games, 19th & 26th, not sure about Foran and Russell though.

Dont hold your breath...

Anyone else think the officials are getting way out of control? just waiting for the Knob Dallas to pipe up defending the ref's for doing a difficult job very well. I've never seen such poor officials this season, they seem to on an ego trip with the game football all about their performance, never mind completely destroying it.

What was the exact reason that Butch managed to get sent to the stand?

Sounds like another display of shyte officials, obviously got Terry wound up, players seem to be joining in!! ffs, a point is no real use.

Wish you would stop the 'as it stands' stuff... makes me very nervous, hope the boys continue the good work, bet they dont fancy the long trip home with Butcher if they lose!

Shinnie i think will be a good player for us in the future, at the moment he is too lightweight to mix it in this league as we saw during the Partick game. Think lionel is the best choice, he's got a bit of pace and is far more physical than Shinnie.
