Bristolhibby Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Lowlights for me include Christmas Eve games (No Boxing Day game) Hogmany games, seriously WTF? Aberdeen away to Hearts on December 31st! Also Old Firm Derby immediately after Malta v Scotland (Call offs anyone?). I thought we stopped OF games near any Scotland games for that very reason?

shaggycoo Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 When did we stop the tradition of league champs of previous season having a home game to unfurl the flag?? Been so long since my team won the league I haven't been paying attention of late!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hogmany matches - stupid idea, Christmas eve matches - a stupid idea. Doncaster now wants a game to be played in the USA. DO the cubs really agree to these ridiculous fixture arrangements? Its insanity. the winter break is laughable because our winter is so hard to predict.

Was it not Dundee FC themselves who initially proposed that? Fully agree with you on the winter break. You just know that whatever dates get picked for that, it will end up being the best football weather of the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regenmann Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Looking forward to visiting Firhill on 26th November (hopefully it'll be a Saturday lunchtime k.o. and won't get moved to Sunday) - haven't been there in many a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J This. Who, with a young family not necessarily me, is going to go to the football the day before Christmas. Crowds will be poor that day compared to the relatively well attended Boxing Day fixtures. Not to mention playing on Hogmanay with Aberdeen having to go to one of the busiest cities on the planet that day to then get back up for their own celebrations. And encouraging the old firm to drink and stumble back in to the city centre to pi$$ off Hogmanay revellers And the added an imbalance of rangers and Celtic matches to thistle, accies and well. SPFL made an @rse if these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Always loved a Xmas eve fixture. Usually we win it. My favourite was Love Street, December 24th 1983. We won 3-0 and then at night I got my Nat King from a burd that kept her tights on the whole time. At least I think I did. Now I'm starting to wonder....

sbcmfc Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 So Motherwell and Partick thistle have both released statements, having been given (along with Hamilton) 2 old firm home games post split, as opposed to the 2 Celtic, 1 Rangers or vice versa that was the accepted norm. I'm on one hand a bit saddened MFC have made such a big deal of it, because it feeds the whole "rangers are the only show in town", "blue pound" pish, but I do agree with their point. When Rangers get sent to parkhead for a 3rd time post split to balance the fixtures, or Motherwell get the geographic "Motherwell end" of Hampden for a game v Celtic, i'll be delighted with them dispensing with all these unwritten rules or accepted norms.
