tarapoa Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 2 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: I'm sure we're all keen to see the fixtures but I'm not sure there's any real prejudice to anyone in having them released at 4pm rather than 10am. You've still got almost a full fortnight until the first fixture. A less tinpot organisation, with a bit of scenario planning, surely would have had them out at 5pm on Saturday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew all last week what the possibilities were. There's just no reason not to be ready to go on Monday morning. It's just unprofessional. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id assume they have a proposed set of fixtures ready. This is my thought too. If they had a plan ready it has had to change. That will have delayed it 30 minutes or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 We know the reason for the delay. It’s all about two teams and no other club fcuking matters to those cnuts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The next game isn't for the best part of 2 weeks unless I'm missing something - I can't really see the panic here (even allowing for folk that are desperate for an advanced ticket on the train) if the general intention is to release it on the first working day after the weekend where everything was confirmed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes i think my life would be less stressful if i was the sort of person that planned more. Then i see the mess that anal retentives get into when reality disturbs the routine and realise it's a grass-is-greener scenario. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 4 hours ago, tarapoa said: Given they've known since 4.50 on Saturday who is in each half of the league, why the delay here? You'd think we were in some weird country where they don't won't certain fixtures or teams celebrating on the same days as Kings are crowned, or whatever it is? Fully expecting AFC to somehow get a raw deal here - it's generally the way it goes. Aberdeen winning yesterday means that the Rangers vs Celtic match will have to be moved! Rangers won't want to play on coronation day so that might also be a hold up. Aberdeen could get a raw deal due to last season league position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 A time at least would be helpful, and a lot less tinpot than ‘sometime on Monday’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 34 minutes ago, Stylish Kid said: Exactly. Particularly as come the final weekend the number of permutations is limited Yep. Last match of season, 3rd Vs 4th winner takes all? Nahhh....dead rubber between 7th and already-crowned Celtic I bet you 50 million currency units this does not happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Apparently we will travel away to Hibs for a third time. We will also have an away tie v St Mirren, with the Celtic fixture being the 13th. If it’s accurate, just announce them!

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I personally don’t care how long they take to come out as long as it’s done properly and without any of the anticipated f**k ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
