Damn You Taranis!!!

Climate change can be blamed for many things and unless you was smoking behind the bike-sheds in those science lessons you would remember the science teacher explaining that warm air holds more water vapour which will come back to us in the form of heavier and longer bouts of precipitation and as Scotland finds itself on the wrong side of the Jet Stream for most of the year, it gets more than its fair share of downpours which a certain football team in the lowlands of Scotland is claiming as an excuse why its games keep getting postponed.
Dundee FC is situated beside the North Sea and after their Scottish Premiership match against Rangers was postponed for a second time as the pitch was deemed unplayable and therefore putting the kibosh up Sky TV's scheduling and annoying the 4,500 Rangers fans who had made the 80 mile trip to Dundee s Den's Park, the club pointed to this being the fifth fixture they have had to call off and pointed their finger squarely at the increased rainfall brought about by climate change for the problems.
Fair enough you may think, if your patch of grass is situated in a place where the MET figures shows it rains on average for 125 days of the year then you should expect a warning climate to have an effect but it kind of falls down when your neighbours, Dundee United, whose ground is 200 yards, is perfectly playable and have not had any games postponed there this season.
Now it could be that being 200 yards closer to the North Sea means that Dundee FC is impacted more than its neighbour, possibly there is a geographical reason why the rain clouds get to Den's Park and then inexplicably empties themselves of rain before reaching the other Dundee's team Tannadice Park or maybe the Celtic God of storms, Taranis, is a St Johnstone fan or, and this may be a bit of a long shot, but maybe the people behind Dundee FC are guilty of not shelling out for a decent pitch and are pinning the blame on something they vaguely remember during those long ago science lessons. Just a thought.
