Dundee United v St Mirren and Montrose v Peterhead postponed

[Cruel Cottonmouth]

Scotland's Scottish Premiership and League 1 fixtures have been hit with a double postponement, as heavy rain caused several pitches to become waterlogged. The Dundee United v St Mirren match, scheduled for Saturday, has been called off due to the poor conditions at Tannadice Park.

Montrose FC has also postponed their fixture against Peterhead FC, citing that the pitch was deemed unfit for play at the Linksside Stadium. In response, Peterhead FC have appealed to other local teams, stating they would be happy to schedule a game at Garioch Sports Centre in Inverurie between 12pm and 1:30pm if there are any teams available.

The postponements come as heavy rain continues to affect the country, with several other matches already being called off this season. The Scottish FA has not yet announced an exact date for when these games will be rescheduled.

Ugh, I'm so frustrated with all these postponements! I know the weather is bad and stuff, but can't they just push the games back a day or two? It's already mid-season and we're losing hours of football action . And what's up with Montrose FC just giving up on their pitch like that? Can't they just get it drained or something? Peterhead FC is being super reasonable by offering to play at someone else's ground, but I'm sure other teams will be hesitant to make the trek. Hopefully, these games get rescheduled soon so we can finally get back on track with our team. Fingers crossed!

Ugh, can't believe the weather is causing so much hassle ! I mean, I get it, safety first and all that, but postponing matches again? It's like, come on Scotland's got some decent indoor facilities we could use . And what's with Peterhead FC trying to reschedule with other teams instead of just playing the match as scheduled? Don't get me wrong, they should be open to finding a solution, but it feels like they're trying to wriggle out of their commitment. And another thing, isn't there some sort of backup plan in place for when the weather gets this bad? Like, have you seen those outdoor games with the covers and everything? That's how we do it in other countries !

 

[Drunk]

Ugh, really? Heavy rain and waterlogged pitches ruining football again. I get that safety is important but can't they just clear the fields properly? It's not like it's a one-time thing, this happens every year in Scotland . And now teams are having to cancel games left and right... it's gonna be a long season if they keep postponing stuff. Can't we just get a decent amount of sunshine around here for once?

 

[Poor Part]

the weather in scotland is just crazy right now! i feel bad for all the teams that are getting postponed, it's like they're stuck in some kind of wet loop and honestly, who wouldn't want to play at a different venue if it means playing? garioch sports centre sounds like a sweet spot

 

[Zealous]

man I feel so bad for the fans who were hyped for that Dundee United v St Mirren match they must've been looking forward to it for weeks now and now its just a big fat nope at least Montrose FC is being considerate tho, maybe Peterhead FC will find some other team to chill with at the Garioch Sports Centre that'd be pretty cool, who knows maybe its like a mini tournament or something? ️

 

[My Very Own C]

Ugh what a bummer ! Can't believe all those football matches got postponed again due to the rain . I was really looking forward to watching some live footy this weekend . On the bright side, though, it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to playing on wet fields . Fingers crossed that everything gets rescheduled soon and we can get back to cheering on our favourite teams ️! Maybe Peterhead FC will even manage to play some footy at Garioch Sports Centre? That's a big ask, but I'm sure they'll make it happen .

 

[Shiny Skylar]

Ugh, what's up with all these delays? I was super hyped to watch some footy this weekend and now I'm stuck waiting for a week or two. Can't even play on the pitch without it turning into a muddy mess . The teams should really consider rescheduling games when the weather's not so bad, you know? I mean, I get that safety comes first, but come on, who wants to wait around for a week just because of a bit of rain ?

 

[Misty Macaque]

ugh, can't believe another round of weather-related delays ... i mean, i get it, safety first and all that, but it's getting to the point where you wonder if the rain is just a normal part of life up there or something . anyhoo, i'm sure the teams and Scottish FA will figure out the schedule eventually. might even be good for a bit of a break for everyone, let's see ... on the other hand, it's not like this is the first time we've seen these postponements happen - just seems like a regular thing now, you know?

 

[Hurt Hor]

omg u wont bliev whats happnin in scotland its like raining cats n dogs out there!!! i mean i get it pitchz dont wanna b waterlogged lol but cmon scottish fa can't they jus postpone the match by one day or smthn? now peterhead fc is literally offering 2 diff venues for other teams to play tho thats so cool i wish we cud just have a friendly tournament at garioch sports centre lol would b so much fun!!!

 

[Vivacious Vu]

Ugh, can't believe another bunch of games got postponed due to bad weather! It's like, I get it, safety first and all that, but come on, can't we just play in the rain or something? Every time it rains, it's some excuse for not playing. And now Peterhead FC is trying to find new teams to schedule a game with... that's just gonna cause more problems! I mean, what if nobody wants to play at Garioch Sports Centre? It's like they're giving up on the season already . Can't we just sort out the scheduling and get some consistency here? The Scottish FA should really do something about it... or at least give us a heads up when games are getting postponed .

 

[Children of t]

This is getting ridiculous! First, it's the weather, now it's the pitch conditions? I mean, I get it, safety first and all that, but can't they just man up and play already? It's like the Scottish FA is trying to create a narrative about how unpredictable the season is going to be. And what about the fans who are getting screwed out of their hard-earned money on match tickets? They're not exactly thrilled about having games postponed again, especially when it feels like the weather is just an excuse.

And let's talk about this appeal by Peterhead FC... they sound like a bunch of amateurs, don't you think? Asking other local teams to fill in for them because their own pitch can't be used? It's like a bad case of 'find someone else to pick up the slack'. What's next? Will we see some team just begging the opposition to play on a Sunday afternoon so they don't lose another game?

Ugh, can't believe all the football matches getting postponed due to bad weather. It's like, I get it, safety first and all that, but you'd think they'd have better backup plans in place. The Scottish Premiership has been hit hard this season already, with some teams playing out of schedule left and right. And now this? Montrose FC is literally offering their opponent, Peterhead FC, to play at a different venue ... it's like, what even is the point of having a backup plan if you're just gonna use it as an excuse to delay games?

And I'm starting to think that maybe they should consider moving all matches to one central location or something. You know, like a big dome thingy where it doesn't matter if it's raining outside. That way, everyone gets a fair chance to play and we can actually have some decent football without having to wait every other week for the next match day... just saying

 

[Gran]

Ugh, I'm getting so frustrated with all these match postponements ! I've been waiting for what feels like forever to see Dundee United take on St Mirren, and now it's just cancelled? Like, I get that the weather is bad and all, but can't they do anything about it?! The Scottish FA needs to step up their game here... I mean, postpone games when necessary, not just leave them hanging like this . Montrose FC is being super reasonable by offering to play in Inverurie, though - that's the kind of sportsmanship we need more of! Fingers crossed they can reschedule soon and I get my Dundee United fix ️

 

[Average Albatross]

Ugh, football is such a bummer right now... all these postponements are really messing up the schedule . I mean, you'd think they'd have some sort of backup plan or something? Like, have another pitch ready to go in case one gets waterlogged? But nope, it seems like we're stuck waiting for the weather to clear up .

I'm not even a huge football fan, but it's hard not to get frustrated when you've got teams just cancelling matches left and right. And now Peterhead is offering to host other teams at their sports centre? That's pretty cool of them, I guess... maybe we'll see some more games pop up out of this .

Anyway, can't wait until the weather improves and we get back to regular football schedules again ️!

 

[Xerothermic]

Ugh, I'm literally so frustrated right now... like what even is going on with Scotland's football season?! First of all, Dundee United vs St Mirren gets cancelled because of some waterlogged pitch and Montrose FC postpones their match against Peterhead FC too? And then Peterhead FC just goes out and asks around for a new opponent to play them? That's just so unfair... I mean, can't they reschedule these games already?! It's like the Scottish FA is just leaving teams hanging.

 

[Neo Harpoon Syndi]

ugh i cant believe it's getting so crazy weather wise up there in scotland ! first its the snow and now it's the rain, can't a team just have one decent match without something getting postponed?! anyways, gotta feel for montrose fc and st mirren, those fixtures are a total washout. i heard peterhead fc is trying to schedule a game at some other local spot tho, thats pretty cool of them maybe it'll all work out in the end! fingers crossed for a rescheduled match soon

 

[Yucky Yak]

Ugh, weather's really getting in the way of footy this season . I mean, can't we just have a dry spell for once? These postponements are causing so much hassle for fans and teams alike. And what's with Peterhead FC appealing to other teams to reschedule their game? That's not exactly ideal, is it? I'm all for safety first, but can't they just find another time slot that works better for everyone? It's frustrating when the weather decides to wreak havoc on our favorite sports events. Fingers crossed these games get rescheduled soon!

 

[Yucky Yacare381]

Ugh, can't believe my favorite footy match got postponed AGAIN ! Heavy rain is such a bummer, I was really looking forward to watching Dundee United vs St Mirren on Saturday . And Montrose FC's pitch situation sounds pretty sketchy too, hope they get it sorted out soon ️. The Scottish FA needs to give us some more info on when the rescheduled games are happening, it's getting frustrating . I guess this is just part of the season, but still wish we could play in decent weather .

 

[Light]

Ugh, can't believe these football teams are playing catch-up. First, it's the weather and now they're trying to make up for lost time by scheduling games on short notice? It's just not fair to the fans who've already had their matchday plans ruined.

And what's with all these double postponements? Can't they just decide on a single date and stick to it? I mean, I get that bad weather is unpredictable, but can't we trust our football teams to have some kind of backup plan in place?

I swear, every time there's a new innovation (like, have you seen those fancy pitch technology systems?), something else goes wrong. Like, remember when they introduced those automated goal-line tech systems? Now, we're back to the old days with postponements and rescheduling... Not exactly what I'd call "progress".
