Lex Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Now we’ve got that international nonsense out the way nice and quickly, it’s time to get back to the real stuff. Premiership fixtures are out this morning at 9am. Has anyone seen a leaked copy? Who do you want in the first game? Which conspiracy theory can you spot amongst the order in which you play each team? The wilder the better! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotdee Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 If only I could wake up this morning to find a Scottish fixture list without Celtic and Rangers. Ideally them having f*cked off to some other league, any other league that would take the cause of all things wrong in Scottish football! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Heard a wee rumour that we've got Rangers first (not ideal), which obviously would either be at home or on some random public park somewhere. Hopefully wrong through as I'd like to try and get a good start and we used our "beat Rangers" special move last season, so it hasn't had enough years to power back up yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmwell Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Would take Rangers at home first gets it out the way. Slightly irritates me that the ugly sisters never play each other on the opening day all because the supporters of each of them can’t be trusted (see also the fixtures post split ) Would give the league more publicity on the opening day if they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the English or some cobbled together domestic/Euro league are the only likely places the OF "could" go, it would end up with the OF making lots of money from that league, creating an even greater monopoly within Scottish football (allowing them to effectively dictate Scottish youth development), with the media focusing solely on the OF and the English/Euro teams they are playing while ignoring the domestic product, meanwhile their fans remain in Scotland being as dismissive, hateful and bigoted as ever. It seems like the perfect idea, chucking them out, but it actually makes things worse! You'd lose the benefit of them being in the league, while keeping all the shitty stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) So we have it confirmed that we will either play Motherwell and County (at least) at another venue or the fixtures will get postponed if we can’t arrange somewhere. ETA: unless we are now able to approach Motherwell and County directly to request reversing the home and away fixtures now that we know who we are facing.

Cheese Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 That's a decent opening week tbf. 4 live games including the Dundee Derby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I have found this debacle amusing I don't see reversing one fixture as a massive issue as long as enough notice is given. It will discourage clubs from investing or upgrading infrastructure if they don't allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Would I be right in saying that the English league doesn't start until the week after ours? Just a wild guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 It (possibly irrationally) annoys me that everyone's excited for opening day of the new season, big day, and there's only 2 games played on it. We certainly don't do ourselves any favours in trying to make things seem like a special event. First day of the new season shoiuld absolutely be one of the biggest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Just hope we can come out the blocks fast this year and give Sevco a long-overdue hiding on our home turf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the games are always going to be on the Sunday for Europe anyway, so you're getting into "what's the point" territory after that surely. I'd say it's the best weekend to have quite a few games on TV, because fans will typically go to the first game anyway, and it means you get to promote most of the clubs and hopefully build up a bit of buzz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Dundee Utd having two guaranteed home derbies in 8 out of the last 10 seasons we’ve been in the same league doesn’t feel right. They always seem to alternate the Glasgow derbies, even though they’re both guaranteed 2 each. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair fans should be kept away from games like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 At least Dundee fans will get to see the team they're most obsessed by in week 1 of the season. It'll be nice for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
