football maniac Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Really feel for those United fans for a wasted day. The first half they were terrific and their play at times was a joy to watch with King pulling the strings. We looked a threat on the break though and their defence still looks abit fragile. Was really enjoying the game and dont even think it occured to anyone that there was a remote possibility of the game being in danger. Noone was running cautiously and there didn't seem to be any loss of freedom of movement for anyone. Brownlies tackle looked very rash! Borderline red? Maybe as SD says he slipped and that impacted upon his decision. That is only untoward incident of the entire first half, but Dykes was slipping all over the place in far colder conditions at Dunfermline last week yet that game continued. Can see both sides regarding charging. Some season ticket holders will begrudge paying to get in when they have already spent big on their season long commitment, but then the club could claim they were getting 18 and a half games should they give free entry. Most likely outcome is a £10 entry fee for everyone, which may well benefit the club should we get a half decent attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair assessment fm, although I would expect the attendance to be well down in the rearranged match. Mid-week in Winter for Utd fans. Disappointing out come for all yesterday.

spacekid84 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I cant see season ticket holders having to pay. Are there not extra vouchers at the back of the season books that can be used for things like this happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Seems the importance of the match is a consideration in whether or not it should be abandoned. And people pay a lot of money, so prefer for it to stop halfway through, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I’m not one to defend referees but are people really suggesting Craig Thomson had an ulterior motive? The safety of the players is paramount, everything else is secondary. Given Queens put 5 past Dunfermline in the previous game I’m delighted that we hardly gave them a sniff whilst pilots no pressure on st the other end.

Not attempting to prove anything other than a significant number of QoS fans do not live locally. Conversation came occurred long before abandonment.

Granny Danger Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 BBC website apparently unable to give a match report because the match was abandoned. We actually played 45 minutes you arseholes. When we get independence we should kick all these c***s into touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakpiegravy Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not defending the referee particularly but have now watched all the post match interviews and it seems like the concerns regarding the pitch surface “changing” came from the players. He’s then gone out and confirmed it’s changed. If he’s gone against the players and kept going then he’s liable for any injuries so I think they’ve left him little choice under the circumstances.

Distant Doonhamer Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Certainly John Rankin agrees it was the correct decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have been a factor. That's the only real explanation that I can think of. I can't think of any other possible occasions when players were slipping and falling. It wouldn't surprise me if Brownlie was pleading having slipped, in mitigation for what looked a fairly crazy lunge. Maybe slipping was genuinely a factor, but I'm pretty certain I've seen matches played to a conclusion before, despite players having fallen over. It had not once entered my head that this match might be in trouble. I still can't quite get my head round it being abandoned in such circumstances. Thomson still has explaining to do.

die hard doonhamer Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Did I pick that up correctly? Brownlie's yellow card will carry on to the next game? No, but it does count towards his season total (so makes him one closer to the totting up suspension) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit harsh is it not? Had Dobbie scored it wouldn't have went towards his goal tally and pretty much ever other stat will be void so why is it bookings count?

I thought that rule was changed a couple of years ago so that bookings were wiped on abandoned games (though red cards still count). I'll see if I can confirm. EDIT - Disciplinary Procedures for Players section 1, paragraph 1.7: "Any cautions reported in a match that is abandoned or declared void shall not apply except where the match is abandoned or declared void due to player misconduct." (Rule 1.6 confirms that any sending off DOES still apply however.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give the ref credit for acknowledging some players had concerns but I still believe he was wrong to abandon the match when he did. Has he ever reffed a game in the rain?
