FifeSons Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Watching the Killie Dundee highlights on Sportscene and went back to watch the cup game highlights. Gregg Wylde… Even worse than I remembered. RPReplay_Final1703982802.mp4 In his defence, I think it actually bounces just before he hits it. We’ve been so unlucky against Premiership sides in the cup in the last decade or so. So many times we’ve come really close, only to just miss out. Think there’s been three 1-0 defeats to Aberdeen, 1-0 against Dundee and the Killie one. Edited December 31, 2023 by FifeSons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Full card in the premier and championship tomorrow yet nothing in leagues one or two. Would it not have made sense to reschedule the Stranraer game for tomorrow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) That would probably make absolutely no sense. Most likely have boys back at work tomorrow with no chance of arranging time off on ridiculously short notice. While I'm here I would like to wish Uncle Faz a Happy New Year and to continue his good work into 2024. Edited January 1 by Neilly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I doubt many will be working. Today is a public holiday, that’s why there are games in the top two divisions. Seems odd that leagues one and two had no games last week or this week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Must be nice getting public holidays I know from my brother's team that they tried to switch training to daytime today rather than night and it proved difficult to get anything like a full squad together. I'm not sure how many folk get public holidays these days either? Me and my other half are both working today and so are my brother and dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doubt about many normal people working today is probably wrong. There will be many people working today certainly I know more people working today than those who aren't. The idea of rearranging your game at Stranraer for tomorrow in such a short time frame was silly. Time to move on mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are games on in the top two divisions because they know they will get crowds. We’ve had games in the lower divisions on 2nd January for forty odd years, ever since 1st January fell out of favour, and those games tend to get bigger crowds than the corresponding Saturday games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I’m hearing that a certain trialist may officially have his name on the teamsheet this coming weekend. I’m also led to believe we were offered a very decent alternative and decided against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of rearranging your game at Stranraer for tomorrow in such a short time frame was silly. Time to move on mate. It's not the full time jobs of those who attend them though is it? The SPFL isn't in the habit of scheduling games when crowds generally can't attend. The reason there was a full fixture list in the top two divisions is because they expect those games to be better attended than playing them on another midweek evening (or even that midweek evening). Other than St Mirren v Celtic (which was televised) all the other games could have been moved to an evening or to Jan 1st if the clubs involved had wanted to do so. The fact none of them did suggests they felt it was more advantageous to attendance to leave them where they were. Many people do indeed work January 2nd as it's not a holiday elsewhere in the UK and national companies tend to use the English calendar (and therefore give Easter Monday as a holiday which some Scots employers don't). I can't find any stats on a brief google but I'd be surprised if far more people in Scotland are not on holiday than were working though, at least once we factor out those such as emergency services, public transport, etc who are always liable to be working on public holidays anyway. Trades will certainly mostly be off as will pretty much everyone with a desk job. It's probably mostly retail workers who are potentially back at work and those people are just as likely to be working a normal Saturday too. Personally I don't know many people who were working on Tuesday (I was but that was entirely voluntary to catch up with some sideline work - I was the only one here). You're right though that rearranging the game at short notice at this time of year is probably a non-starter in terms of getting stewarding, catering, buses, etc never mind the actual players who of course may still have some affected by return to work. I agree it's probably not practical, but I don't think it's particularly because of working hours on the 2nd itself. Clubs used to arrange cup replays on the same notice regularly but the difference is that places are open on the Monday to get things re-booked etc. That wasn't the case on Jan 1st obviously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like he wants to be up against it, so he has excuses if he fails to achieve objectives and targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
