A real shame that it's happened to them of all clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It's going to be an exciting end to the season though, you've got to give them that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yikes. That really is something. Genuine chance of it looking like a 22 game season in mid-April, and a club in first or maybe having just sneaked into 8th suddenly can’t fulfil a game in time. I’m sure everyone would be very understanding if that happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Assuming the tough task of getting 18 gams played by the 23rd. Does the split become games be played on Sunday 25th, Tuesday 27th, Thursday, 29th, Saturday 1st, Monday 3rd. 1st Play-off match played as planed on 5th May? Some schedule ! Edit- obviously each of those fixtures will have a team sitting out, presumably so they can sleep.

Looking at it, I'd guess they've maybe granted a one-week extension - would mean it was only 9 days between games for the Championship club which isn't really that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 If anything sums up how absolutely out of touch with reality the clubs are then this is it. A bonkers situation that not one person on here would have suggested or thought of. Given our backlog (is it a backlog? Can these people tell us if the game we had cancelled in NOVEMBER is going to be played?), I imagine it'll only take a good cup run, burst of bad weather or another covid outbreak for the 18 game season to be the outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirktheinvincible Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Why not just call it a fucking 18 game season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirktheinvincible Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It's a classic grift. The '27 games or null & void' brigade have been utterly played and don't even realise it. On reflection, I'm actually impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So it will be 18 then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The lunatics have left the asylum this could only be a plan in Scottish football. Think most fans have totally lost interest and couldn’t give a hoot about season 20/21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Even we couldn't fit the games we have left in before the 23rd, without playing Sat-Tue-Thu-Sat one week, and if we beat Morton or Dunfermline in the cup we'd have another week like that. It might have been sensible to bring forward a game with someone else not involved in the cup in the 23rd, so obviously it wasnt done.I assume that if we can't all fit in 18 before the 23rd,the 24th April and 1st May will be used to catch up, with the possibility that teams will know exactly what they have to do to overtake teams who have already finished.Fucking hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I'd guess there's a possibility of slowing down the rate of fixtures for those that have played the most games once 18 games becomes the only option, to at least have a full fixture card on the 1st may?

All completely unnecessary of course, just call it 18 and everyone will get the games in no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
