Surely next to no chance of this being played. I fully expect this to be called off by tea time tonight. Met office now issuing another red warning, threat to life, for the Angus area. Two deaths in neighbouring Brechin and Forfar and a further person unaccounted for.
Public safety has to be put first and call this off now. |

Absolutely the right decision.
It really was a no-brainer.
We are under amber warning for tomorrow for rain and severe gales up here and public transport is cancelled. Just bide in the hoose and hope (power cuts permitted) to see the 'Boks dismantle the Sweet Chariots on the tele.π€π

Great idea Embow.

The wheels were never ON the Chariot. The Boks will be the first team the Jammy Gits have played in the whole tournament .
I know what you mean though  |

Probably due to the travel difficulties by road or rail facing the Inverness ones heading south and of course back north in darkness.

| In weather conditions that have thus far seen loss of life there is no other sensible decision for any games called off. |

I'll just stick this in here as it's related to weather.
A horrible wet night in Airdrie but a good outcome for the top teams.

Not quite the style you wanted, but certainly the outcome.

The cancelled game features on this weeks Have I got news for you - plus a very funny clip of a keeper trying to take a bye kick at Gayfield. Worth watching

Absolutely crazy run of games.
Very little by way of income through the gate, sponsors etc.
I know it should even itself out over the season but it never feels that way.
Why a Wednesday for the Lichties game and not the usual Tuesday?

The forecast is for high winds on the Tuesday in Arbroath and itβs only extremely windy on the Wednesday. Tuesdayβs are also the day that the old fishermen hang their smokies out in the back gardens to dry.
