Romeo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Pollok juniors at Newlandsfield would be a welcome break from the regular league season.You'd probably have to play the game at Pollok anyway if there's any more that 5 minutes rain in the fortnight leading up to the game.You wouldn't want to upset them by calling off another game at the Maryhill aquatic centre.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I voted for all three because I'm a bit of a dick. I voted for none of them to cancel that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 So Celtic intend to play (if they win the league) UCL Qr2 L1 - Tue/Wed 12/13 JulUCL Qr2 L2 - Tue/Wed 19/20 Jul ICC v Leicester (H) - Sat 23 JulUCL Qr3 L1 - Tue/Wed 26/27 Jul ICC v Barca - (Dublin) - Sat 30 JulUCL Qr3 L2 - Tue/Wed 2/3 Aug SPFL Fixture 1 - Sat 6 AugICC v Inter (TBA) - Sat Aug 13UCL Qr4 L1 - Tue/Wed 16/17 AugUCL Qr4 L2 - Tue/Wed 23/24 AugI know they have been banging on about the SPFL not providing an adequate test before a European game but surely a competitive fixture would get the players up to speed better than what will essentially be 3 training matches in the ICC. Going to Dublin inbetween a 2 leg European tie seems utterly utterly daft as well. They could be jetting back from the arse-end of nowhere late on the Wednesday before or jetting out to the arse-end of nowhere to play the second leg on the Tuesday after. Complete madness from Celtic, I know that they have a big squad but are they really going to play a team of fringe players against Barca in Dublin and get humiliated. I'd think that there would be pressure on the management (whoever they may be at that time) to put out a strong side for all their Irish fans in Dublin.Its not the issue of them cancelling a league game that sits poorly with me, its the fact that I think it could adversely affect their chances of progression in Europe, and if I were a Celtic fan, that would seriously bug my tits.

You're forgetting that we're bankrolled by multi-millionaires now and we're laying a brand new pitch, complete with a new drainage system in the close season. Thanks for playing anyway.

Dubford don Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If Celtic want it then I'm against it. In fact anything that hinders that horrible club I'm all for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think it does reflect well on the Scottish game tbh. I still don't like them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It f*cking ludicrous that any team is allowed to postpone a league game for a non-competitive fixture. It undermines the credibility of the league and any "exposure" argument will be blown out of the water by the inevitable pumpings that our biggest club will receive from some of the best teams in Europe, further justifying the claims that our league is p*ss poor. I also disagree with my own club postponing games, although I would say it's more reasonable to postpone a game to aid progression in Europe, as opposed to a money-spinning friendly. If clubs want to organise games with the big names in Europe they should do it in pre-season or midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is it acceptable to sing IRA songs at these friendly events? If so I can see why Celtic fans are so keen. Any chance to promote "thur culchur" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 That pretty much sums it up, cheers guys. What's your point caller? That a significant percentage of the population think your club and its fans are vile? You never been on here before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 As Hearts are apparently going to be cutting it a bit fine to get the stadium ready for 2017/18 I think that the ability to stage league games whenever you damn well please may have some merits after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It's a preposterous situation but what else do you expect with a clown like Neil Doncaster in charge? I hope Thistle exercise our right to organise a friendly when we're due to play Celtic. Pollok juniors at Newlandsfield would be a welcome break from the regular league season. Where is the glamour in that for Pollok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Rogic Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 All the more hilarity when Celtic get fucked out of Europe by a real glamour side. Like Molde for example. Or Bohemians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If it's for a European tie, fine. If it's for a "glamour friendly", revenue raised from said game should be shared with the opposition of the postponed fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
