coprolite Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 8 hours ago, Jmothecat2 said: I've been pleased with the way the club has dealt with a few things this season but judging by the comments made by Doncaster this decision was agreed with clubs. Hope I'm proved wrong and Aberdeen are kicking up a fuss over this. Being central belt based it doesn't make a huge difference to me but my Dad has already said he won't be bothering with such an early kick off time and it's frustrating that this keeps happening. When we sell 8,000 tickets due to the kick off time I wouldn't be surprised to see that used against us for allocation if we made it to the final. The token 'we appreciate this is difficult for some fans' comment makes the situation worse as it shows they are aware it's difficult for Aberdeen fans but that matters less than making sure the old firm don't have to travel to Edinburgh for a semi-final. The worst thing about it is other than moaning about it on forums or Facebook there's basically nothing we can do other than accept it. Edit: Just noticed Aberdeen have put out a statement so at least that's something. https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/09/27/aberdeen-confirm-dismay-over-sunday-lunchtime-start/ Pretty sure that when Doncaster says "agreed by the clubs" he meant rangers and celtic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 If the reasoning for the semi final arrangements are true then surely rasellik and rahun should play every game in glasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there are any Scottish Cup replays, or matches postponed because kf weather problems, I take it these will never be played? Why has no one queried him on this, as it’s obviously total garbage (unless Rangers and Celtic both make the Europa League Final, presumably) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Perhaps a symbolic gesture is in order, along the lines of congregating outside the ground but no-one enters the ground until 12.15 (when the first train arrives). I mean it's probably not feasible as organising Aberdeen fans is like the proverbial herding of cats...

DrewDon Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 McKenna has been offered a two-game suspension for the Edouard challenge.

GraniteGype Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yet more f@ckwittery from the authorities. I thought the compliance officer could only get involved for incidents the ref missed. Madden was staring right at McKenna winning the ball pre collision with Edouard. How they can cite this and ignore McGreggors kick at Ajer is yet more embarrassing nonsense from those in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 .Any organisation that clears 2 kicks at opposition players in the opening weeks of the season if gonna find it very difficult to uphold any over zealous challenge for the ball. Only decent decision would be a 2 game ban for the ref 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just when you think the Scottish football authorities can't get any worse. There's no doubt in my mind that that challenge should have been a free kick and probably a booming, but a two match ban? How can they justify that? Completely out of nowhere as well. I'm really not one to believe in conspiracy theories but does anyone seriously believe this would be the result if that challenge had occurred against any side except the establishment two?
