Auld Jag Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The game being off yesterday will hopefully mean that the pitch should be ok for Tuesday night.This is a game we need to win.Iknow we have 3 games in hand but until we get points of of these games they give us no advantage.It is hard to know what the team will be as surely we will sign somebody before the window closes.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Why sign someone and not announce it? Dunno. Given where the lad's been playing it could be considered an Indian sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Dunno. Given where the lad's been playing it could be considered an Indian sign? we could be doing with an Indian summer.

michael m Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Why sign someone and not announce it? Id guess at the fact that with the LC semi finals there wouldn't be much media interest so maybe wait until you could get more coverage out of it. Press conference Monday to preview Tuesday game so I guess we will get an update then on potential new signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Without being too cynical-and knowing if it is true- does anyone else feel like this is another Baird/Eclleston/Pogba signing in terms of quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be Cerny, Osman or Dumbuya, who knows till we give them a chance, Glass half full and all that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Out of curiosity, whether true or not, why not let the club announce it? i can see your point and apologise if this has caused offence. IMO the club should have announced it yesesterday when there was unhappiness about another game being cancelled and this would have given the support some good news. Also the signing had been going around football forums, Facebook and even The Sun since Friday. I'm afraid part and parcel of football forums is always going to be who will or won't sign. The post was also in response to the original posters query about signings being in place before the Motherwell game if that even goes ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post was also in response to the original posters query about signings being in place before the Motherwell game if that even goes ahead TL, I honestly can't imagine the signing of a player, who in effect is very much an unknown quantity, would have come anyway close to countering the disappointment of yesterday's postponement. Also the Club have a policy of not announcing signings till all paperwork concluded. Given this lad has been playing in India there's perhaps some finalisation to be completed. Whatever, I just can't see why it's important whether we announce this signing yesterday, today or tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtastic Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Aside from the club's policy noted above, the only other potential reasoning I can think of for holding the announcement would be if they expect something else, perhaps another new deal to be completed imminently and want to let it all out at once for maximum exposure. Even that's a stretch and probably more out of my own desperate hope of an Osman/Lawless resigning announcement to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Osman/Lawless/Bannigan not re-signing before tomorrow isn't bad news. It is only bad news if they sign PCA's with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just watched the Dundee - Motherwell "highlights" on iPlayer (or whatever they were shown on). Outrageous penalty decision against Motherwell in the last couple of mins, hope they do not nurse a justifiable sense of grievance on Tuesday (although the almost certain postponement might give them time to reflect).

Firhillista Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 As optimistic as I was that Saturday's game would be on, I'm now pessimistic that Tuesday's game will be played. Pouring at the moment with a lot more to come in the next 24 hours. Only way forward is to build a roof over Firhill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Quite happy about that. Personally don't think there should be any midweek games on the run up to a Scottish Cup weekend unless both teams are no longer involved Edited February 1, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Very little chance of Tuesday going ahead. We just going from Monday straight into Wednesday? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Very little chance of Tuesday going ahead. Is that from official sources or based on the current weather|? Of course forecasts can change quickly but atm it looks like gale force winds all day up to about 4pm with not that much rain. The wind could dry the pitch out. It will probably be a bit of a mess even if it does but it could be (theoretically) playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaf Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 There's not much between United and us, so there has to be a prospect of a replay in the cup. With the fixtures already scheduled plus those needing arranged, we could be facing a protracted run of two games per week all the way up to the split, which with a thin squad is not too appealing. So let's hope they can get the game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
