Orange Ball

[Ivan Drago]

With the lack of an orange ball at Ibrox I'm trying to remember how many Dee games have had one.

I remember a game v Hamilton circa 96, a 3-0 lunchtime loss to Tic and the abandoned Hibs game. Think we might have had one in a lunch time game v Rangers too (the Sara 2 pen misses?)

Any others I am forgetting?

Remember a game v Aberdeen back in Donald McKay's time as well pretty sure Cammy Fraser was wearing tights as also

Bobby Madden not exactly covering himself in glory with his decisions tonight... Shock. He shouldn't have started that match IMO

[Gnasher]

What a farce that was. Madden ensured that Rangers got their gate money though.

Back in the 1960's and 70's games used to be played on snow covered pitches with no undersoil heating.

We should have had one in the first half last week.

Or maybe Scotland should follow the English Premier and have a yellow ball from the end of October onwards, no matter the conditions.

Actually I remembered we had one on Boxing Day under Ivano at motherwell but that was more due to fog

Rae scored at far end and most dees had no idea

Don't really know why Madden is getting stick for this tbh.

He has went to officiate at a modern stadium with undersoil heating (that he didn't know was switched off) and the main danger areas have been cleared (6 yard box was completely fine which makes me question why the other parts couldn't be clear).

With the snow fall coming quite late and the Rangers groundstaff insisting things would be fine, it would not be possible to make an early call off. It would be in the last maybe half an hour before kick off that it could have been made and by then, you've got thousands coming through so the pressure is on to give it a go for the sake of them and the TV cameras.

Snow covered pitches are better at not freezing up in my experience. Sort of protects the surface and acts as a cover.

They should hae been sweeping the snaw aff when it stopped at 7pm.Numpties!

Madden should hae been telling the groundstaff tae get their finger oot!

Rangers must be in a very bad way financially if they cannot afford to switch on the undersoil heating prior to the game.
