~~~ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 f**k Celtic. After their banner yesterday, again referring to the war dead. Rats. What banner was that? I really don't have any idea, also I fail to see what this has to do with a potential fixture pile up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 hopefully Celtic beat Inter for the banter of seeing what the spfl actually do with the additional games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 They'll probably hold off in the hope of being able to play them after the split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Dundee and Killie both right in the battle for Top 6, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Dundee and Killie both right in the battle for Top 6, too. Yes neither are matches they can really wait on and risk them needing to be played for the split to be decided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Are we sure that Celtic can play Dundee and Killie at normal kick-off times in UEFA weeks? A couple of seasons ago, UEFA fined the English FA because Premier League fixtures were played on the same night as a Champions' League matchday. And it was the matches themselves that got UEFA's knickers in a twist, not the TV coverage. Presumably the same applies to Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It's news to me that rescheduled matches on their own are disallowed, as opposed to having them on TV. That would be another encroachment from UEFA, and an encroachment too far IMO. EDIT: Also, Dundee Utd v ICT is this Tuesday evening, as are CL matches.

The Master Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 With apologies for a Daily Mail link... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2315348/UEFA-1-million-pounds-English-TV-money-pot-Champions-League-fixture-clashes.html No specific mention of it being because games were on TV. And it was the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons, so perhaps the "working group" that UEFA apparently established has relaxed the rules. Or it could be that for once UEFA are prepared to turn a blind eye to minor breaches of their regulations, i.e. English Premier League games attract considerable worldwide interest so could draw attention from the CL; Scottish Premiership games, well, don't and so doesn't.

Dick Van Dyke Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Also if they were to draw the Scottish cup game with United they would have to play the replay before the 18th of April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Also if they were to draw the Scottish cup game with United they would have to play the replay before the 18th of April They could play the replay on 18th April, with the semi-final played in a midweek. There's less time pressure for the Scottish Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Back in 2008 they didn't over-ride league games when Rangers had their backlog - IIRC, their replay against Partick was played on SF date, then Semi-Final v St Johnstone was following weekend?

I think they were on TV. I vaguely remember a thread on Miscellaneous Football discussing it and Stewart Regan, who hadn't been in place that long, saying it was unfair because the SFA had chosen not to televise a St Mirren v Aberdeen? replay in the Scottish Cup, as the Spanish had been fined the year before, yet a couple of EPL & FA Cup ties were put on TV (presumably the fine was chicken-feed to them). If you look on Statto.com there are always a 'smattering' of top division games on European midweeks: rescheduled for postponements, or cup SFs or Finals etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 With the first date being a week on Wednesday, can we assume an announcement of which game will be when will be forthcoming tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I presume we are writing off Killie as bottom six certainties hence no announcements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
