I think the limit on the number of times you're allowed to show a game from a stadium might be behind that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) 39 minutes ago, AJF said: I've had a look through the last 4 seasons worth of Rangers and Aberdeen fixtures (for balance) during the festive period, and in these 4 seasons between the two clubs there have been 4 matches that were played on a weekday that wasn't a bank holiday and every one of these was played at 19:45. I honestly can't remember this being a common occurrence in previous seasons and the last 4 season's worth of Festive period fixtures I've checked for Rangers and Aberdeen there wasn't a single one. That's not to say it NEVER happens but it certainly doesn't seem to be common. I've been to mid week holiday season games at Pittodrie with 3pm kick offs. Edit: happy to concede it's not happened as often lately though. Edited December 16, 2020 by Merkland Red 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hard to work out exactly what the front line looks like for these next two games. I don't think I have as much faith as others in Roofe doing 2 games a week, obviously there's no Morelos too. We have looked better this year when we've played with 2 forwards as part of the 3. The first choice set up reflects this in Kent-Morelos-Roofe, and I think the 2 forwards is a trend that Gerrard is starting to create. Ross County away, for example, we started with both Morelos and Roofe and finished with Itten and Defoe. With Arfield and Tavernier on the right, we don't really need a right winger. Whereas we do need Kent on the left with Barisic, because whoevers playing left side (Kamara) generally isn't getting forward enough to contribute. Might be nothing, but I thought it was something worth watching for over the next few games. It's 4-4-2 in personnel, but 4-3-3 in shape. Perhaps the next evolution is playing the midfield with Aribo - Davis/Zungu - Arfield and going with three narrow forwards when Kent needs a break? We've used the twin 8's a fair bit already this season, so it wouldn't require a huge amount of adjustment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-55329475 I can't believe TRIFCL would fix shirt prices. They couldn't sell the fuckers until recently - what's to fix? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it all that common for it to happen on a non-bank holiday on a weekday? You have to remember, St Mirren are being investigated for cooking the books. This will be so they don't need the floodlights on too long, overtime costs etc. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBo10 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 What’s the reason for the strip that is getting worn tonight? Looks like a retrospective homage to something of years ago but not sure what or why tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t liked to have been the person to tell McGregor that he had to change his strip though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betfred sponsor the competition, one condition of which is no rival betting companies get to advertise. St Mirren in their usual strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
