Jim White reckons that the plot has thickened over the midweek postponement of a football match at Dens Park.
The plot is crystal clear, the TalkSPORT presenter and his fellow cheerleaders have been trying their best to set their narrative but online the Internet Bampots have cruelly exposed the messengers.
At first there was no comment from the mainstream about April 3, across Twitter fans of 11 Premiership clubs knew exactly what was going on with Philippe Clement wanting to give his side a clear week of training to prepare for Celtic.
The long established convention is that the first available date is used to reschedule postponed matches, after the events that resulted in the March 17 postponement April 3 was that date.
When the April 10 match was also postponed it became impossible to avoid the April 3 question, a few messengers tried the claim that both clubs wanted the later date but that line wasn’t going to hold when the Ibrox club accused Dundee of negligence and being unprofessional.
That proved to be a step too far. The Dundee based Courier/Telegraph let the cat out the bag with:
It’s understood a key SPFL leadership figure recommended the postponed fixture be played at the first available midweek date, April 3, in keeping with this individual’s default approach to such situations. They were also mindful of the upcoming Premiership split.
However, at the request of one of the two clubs involved, the issue was escalated to SPFL board level where it was then decided the game would take place on Wednesday, April 10.
Even White could work out which club objected to April 3, rather than address that claim from a publisher in Dundee the TalkSPORT anchorman opted for a classic deflection.
Getting confirmation that @RangersFC travelling to play @DundeeFC last midweek was never an option – Tayside club reportedly told @spfl on April 2 and 3 their pitch was unplayable!
Plot thickens!— Jim White (@JimWhite) April 12, 2024
Blowing the plot out the water the SPFL announced on March 20 that they were avoiding the natural date to play the match, again they were following their orders from Ibrox.
On Thursday morning Simon Jordan was banging the drum for April 3, the reasons were clear to an outsider with White keeping quiet knowing that the elephant in the room was starting to get restless.
The whole incident has underlined the strength of social media, calling out the obvious while legacy media try their best to push falsehood’s. The more they push the message that they are being fed the weaker they become.
On various issues White and his chums are trying to shape the agenda, the more that they bury their heads in the sand the quicker they ensure their demise as others call them out leaving the public to make their own judgements.

The plot hasn’t thickened at all Jim, the plot is the same as it has always been. Celtic twitter made up that Rangers refused to play and you all ran with it without stopping to think if that was really a reliable source. As always.

Jim the 10th April date for the rearranged fixture was decided on the 20th March .. so your post just adds to the conspiracy theory. Understandably the Phoenix club didn’t want a midweek game before the Celtic game but were too macho to admit it 👍😄

“Getting confirmation” from whom?
Pipe down, dafty.

Plot thickens cos that statement makes no sense Jim. No game was ever scheduled so why would Dundee contact the league on those dates to state the pitch was unplayable. Even when games have been scheduled there’s been pitch inspections on the day. 🤣🤣🤣
