PartyFears2 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 United wanted a 4/5pm kick off. Referee & SPFL were fine with it. St Johnstone not interested, wanted to know by 1.15 if pitch was playable. fair enough, we have a game on tomorrow, just adding to the thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm likely to now miss this game due to work. Gutted I'll miss Chris Kane as a wing back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyFears2 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I didn’t know the ‘ref / SPFL’ part. I don’t spend all day every day on the forums etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not listened yet What the guy said was Quote The heating had been on and the covers were on for a couple of days. The middle part of the pitch is the coolest part of the heating system (hence why it was the worst area). The grounds staff were in at 6am and the pitch was playable at around 4pm. Fermers demanded a decision by 1.15 and were not prepared to kick off late. Fermers allegedly have Covid issues themselves. ETA the players who were going to be out for this game will also miss tomorrow's game. So im guessing they didn't want their players hanging about as they could make the Covid situation worse. Which is fair enough But LOL at the inquiry demands. Edited January 11, 2021 by mishtergrolsch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don't think our COVID issues are a secret - we've had two players test positive. They've never said who but from what I can tell one is Jason Kerr and the other was James Brown, who I don't think had actually spent any time with the squad since joining when he tested positive. Neither of those positives seem to have had any impact on other players needing to isolate or anything like that thankfully. I notice that for the rearranged game United's odds at the bookies are still absolutely wild. United are 3/1 for the win, at home against a team well below them in the league who can't score nearly enough goals. Saints are odds on favourites or evens at virtually every bookie. None of that makes any sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_J Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Came on here to see if anyone had any further thoughts on what is going on with the odds for the game, but not as yet I see! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 When they merge they should definitely play at Dens, Tannadice just being reaffirmed as a dilapidated shitehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 What "couple days" were the covers on for? It certainly wasn't a consecutive couple, as was shown by a United player sending out pictures of the ground frozen solid on Thursday evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the covers stay on for periods then are taken off. I'm not 100% sure but afaik they don't leave the covers on all the time to keep the air circulating around the grass. How long was the player there for? He won't have been there all day so its possible it was while the covers were off and grounds staff were working on the pitch? I think its fair to say the USH and covers worked within an hour of kick off, had the Fermers agreed to wait then the fame would have been played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or - they could have waited and it wasn't playable. No doubt this guy would then say "it was playable by 5pm, it was only an extra hour. They'd waited until 4pm already." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 So, a new controversy... A Dundee United rat has snitched on one of our fans who has been providing live streams for away matches on the 'St. Johnstone Banter' Facebook page. St Johnstone have contacted the fan and there will be no more streams from this point onwards. Who is the snitch? Granny Danger hasn't heard of Facebook so I'm ruling him out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
