Game Off
Posted in BBC Scotland, Dumbarton FC at 20:00 on 11 January 2020
I was spared the torture of watching today’s game on Sportscene Results for two reasons.
One: Sportscene Results wasn’t on because the Scottish Premiership is having a midwinter break. (This is another example of BBC Scotland’s contempt for lower league football which they tend to ignore as much as possible. Having said that I do though have to commend them on the TV show A View From the Terrace which does give the smaller clubs and their players most of its attention.)
Two: The game was off due to a waterlogged pitch. Not surprising given the weather we’ve been having.
In one sense the postponement was welcome. We’re down below the bare bones in terms of player numbers and a week off yields more time to get injured players fit.
Whether it was a good thing depends on how the game goes on the rearranged date.
As it is, not too much damage was done in terms of the teams below us as Forfar drew and Peterhead lost.
It’s the Cup game against Aberdeen up next. A free hit – except if we get utterly gubbed.
