Jaggernaut Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 If Dundee Utd are to stay up they will need to beat us and keep on winning after that.If we were to lose we would still be 9points ahead of them, but on another bad run as we would have taken only 2points from the last 5games since we beat Ross county.So is this a must win game for both teams? In that case it has "draw" written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Game will almost certainly be off. Don't think a back log of fixtures will do us any good. That said if the Motherwell game gets played next week we wouldn't be too worse off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Game will almost certainly be off. Yeah, I think that will be the case as I stated earlier in the week. Horrific day forecast tomorrow with constant rain, 80mph winds then to be followed later on by snow showers and freezing temperatures. Really just don't se it surviving!

stillresigned Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Noooooooooooooo. Really looking forward to this game. Tbh, weather conditions don't look too positive for Saturday: wouldn't be at all surprised if the game is off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Weather wise Saturday looks unlikely and even next Tuesday night looks a possible postponement at this early stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeenjag Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hope it's on....me and my pal have booked our train tickets from Aberdeen already..... Pub crawling through seedy Glasgow dives all Saturday afternoon is a (relatively) poor substitute for humping Scumdee Utd at fortress Firhill. Mon the groundstaff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 My brother-in-law is returning from Poland to live in Scotland. He's bringing his Polish wife. They were talking about where to live. She said she fancied Dundee. Everyone just fell about laughing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Wragg Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 If the game is called off, and you need to find entertainment in the afternoon, get yourselves up to Trader Joes for live music and dance, that's what I'll be doing, cheers, m'on the Jags!!

blakey Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I hope the game goes ahead. It would also be interesting to observe the dynamics between the directors and managers. I think it's fair to say that there is tension between the two clubs. This obviously started when they pinched the management dream team of Jackie and Sid. It further deteriorated when they poached erskine and Paton. Things thawed out a bit when we loaned erskine and muirhead but....I think it's safe to say that United are well pissed off at us for signing erskine back; and also announcing it now. They are stuffed with regards to playing him. I think the lawless stuff is a ploy to get back at us; and try and unsettle one of our better players. It also smacks of desperation. Cotj!

MonehJags Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 As much as I want the game to go ahead, the weather is terrible and when the conditions are poor, we don't often come out on top, I reckon we would be doing ourselves a favour calling it off.

Blue sky out my window. Why are people so spooked at the thought of playing this match? I'm confident of winning today and next week. This inferiority complex is baffling.

Don't you think we need to learn to win in bad weather rather than hoping for weather call offs - in this country footballers need to learn to expect to have to play in bad conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firhillista Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 As much as I want the game to go ahead, the weather is terrible and when the conditions are poor, we don't often come out on top, I reckon we would be doing ourselves a favour calling it off. It's not Thistle's call as to whether the game goes ahead or not - that's entirely up to the referee. I agree, the team doesn't usually do well when the conditions are poor, but this game is too important to let the weather determine the outcome. We need to win this. An early goal would be ideal, but if we can even keep them from scoring for the first twenty minutes, I reckon we can get the three points. Judging by the view out my front window (2 miles from the ground), this game will definitely be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) There is a fair amount of snow lying in Cumbernauld with the occasional blizzard. Is the weather in Maryhill any better than this? Thanks Firhillista,we must have posted simultaneously.

Charlie Endell Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 R. Reid recalling the 1996 play-off game on PTFC Twitter - I'd forgotten Dailly equalised with only four minutes left. The return fixture remains my most painful Jags memory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 We need to win, of that there is no doubt. I felt we should have beat Dundee prior to the game starting and within 15 minutes the game was over. The memory of that day is still as fresh as this mornings snow. We need a big performance today and we should expect one also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "history" between us goes back considerably further. They beat us at Firhill and effectively relegated us in 1970. Then there was the play-off in season 95-96..... Their recent bad behaviour confirms that it is not one of my favourite clubs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaila Street Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 An early goal would be ideal, but if we can even keep them from scoring for the first twenty minutes, I reckon we can get the three points. If Dundee United were 12 points ahead and playing Thistle at Tannadice do you think any DUFC fan would adopt this tone? So if they score early we can all go home - give me strength.
