Rob Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 They'll probably rearrange our Celtic game within a few days of another Celtic game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Celtic reach final. Opening fixtures of season playing the best teams of last season, either of the old firm on semi final and final day of league cup knowing they'll 80% reach that stage... I'd go as far as claiming this is a deliberate act to try and sabotage us. Ive never know such a shit deal on fixtures, is there negotiations to sort out dates or do we just get given them. Number of fixtures in December is poor planning, one positive is we will not get a run around from Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Another international break in November then we have Sunday TV games against Aberdeen at 3pm on 24th Nov on Sky. Another TV game against Celtic on Sunday 8/12 at 12.15 on BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy1949 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Look on the bright side if Celtic reach the betfred cup final we might have a chance if they have to play 2 games on the same day - but I wouldn’t bet on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49928420 Id like to see the club do a pay what you want game. They could do this on a free week, arrange a game with another club. Our players need game time together, not free weeks. Be nice to fill the stadium a little, raise a bit of cash. Players are getting paid to play and provide entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Another shit result after a week off. The team got a few days off. Is that the reason we are poor after breaks. After Saturday they should be in for extra training. Another break on 2nd Nov for Betfred & another on 16th Nov for internationals. Hopefully no more days off.

Dutch Saint Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I absolutely detest these breaks during the season. Teams, not only us, lose some continuity, and training/bounce games is/are no substitute for the real thing. When exactly were they introduced, and do the top European Leagues do the same?

The weather in early January is no worse and likely better than early February and the past few years we have been lucky. We all know that we could have two weeks off with the break in perfect weather and when we come back get hit with another 'beast from the east' and be off for another two weeks. The people running our game are incompetent. sixties saintee and Cagey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people running our game are incompetent. The clubs voted for it didnt they? It certainly wasnt enforced on them. Sure it was to give the pitches, and players, a break, and also to let fans have a break from paying for games so close after Christmas/New Year. The break isnt the issue, the new International calendar which has them playing virtually every month is far worse. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost getting to dislike them as much as I do the OF!!! Can’t stand them. What a waste. Doubtless players called up for their country would disagree, but it’s different as an onlooker. I wish them well but I can’t muster any interest in international football at all. I may be unusual but I don’t watch English games or champions league. I prefer to attend a game, but increasingly I can’t. Nothing can be done about it. Rant done. Don’t feel any better. rickardo, sleepless and blueheaven 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to just have home internationals & world cup. Football was 3pm on a Saturday & reserve games were at home on an away day & that's when we had smaller squads.
