elevenone Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Aberdeen at home Friday 4th November 7.45ko Rangers home on Saturday 26th November now a 12.15pm ko Celtic home on Friday 9th December ko 7.45pm After the fixture farce of old firm only once at Firhill and Ross County at Xmas, nice to see the clowns running the game yet again think Aberdeen on a Friday night is a good idea. That will be another hit in the pocket I'm sure for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL.H Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 If by some chance Rangers reach the League Cup Final, the game on 26th Nov. will be cancelled, as the Final is due to be played that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Baws, I was hoping that if they moved the Aberdeen fixture at all it would be to the Sunday. Am travelling back to Glasgow on the Friday night, arriving on Saturday morning, so I won't be seeing that one then. Time to send Kingsley round to place a pox on the houses of Dungcaster and Raygun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 That's football these days, the fans who actually want to go along are secondary to Sky/BT sports needing some filler content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The ref will be blowing for full time on the Aberdeen game just about the same time as the last train north is pulling out of Queen St. But what's new? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSpadger Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am really hacked off at the Aberdeen game being moved from the 5th, had a whole day planned round it. Now it's on Friday evening, and I will be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think this was mentioned before but it's relevant here: http://www.thenational.scot/news/pubs-fear-chaos-from-old-firm-game-on-hogmanay.22735 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think Friday night games v Motherwell, Hamilton, Killie work. Not Aberdeen although they do have a big Central Scotland following. Rangers game early is ok for me. Mixed it up. Get some beers after although not sure how hospitality is impacted. Celtic Friday night will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Don't think it mentioned anywhere else but our scheduled hot summer's day fixture, away to Celtic, will now be played on Tues 20th Dec (7.45pm ko). Methinks the new water break/hydration rule is unlikely to be enforced. eta three away games in 6 days (Hearts Sat 17th/Celtic Tues 20th/County Fri 23rd) Edited October 11, 2016 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Skwerr Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Who the hell agreed to that date? It gives Thistle 7 games in December, 4 of them away. Absolutely ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Who the hell agreed to that date? It gives Thistle 7 games in December, 4 of them away. Absolutely ridiculous. Totally agree with Red Square!! August and September. Relaxed summer and early autumnal days. Good pitches. Ideal for playing and watching football. Your team trying to bed itself in and pick up consistent form. What do we get? Stop start, hardly two games in consecutive weeks. Week running up to Christmas. Busy and expensive family time and perhaps trying to finish at work for a holiday. Waterlogged and frozen pitches and supporters. Risk of injury. Difficult travel conditions. What do we get? Overload. Three games in a week. Scottish football does not compute. Edited October 12, 2016 by partickthedog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which club complained the most about this season's fixtures. The SPFL sanctioned our joint (with County) application to move the Dingwall fixture forward a day. Would we have gone along with that if we knew that we'd be playing Celtic three days earlier? Did the SPFL know at the time that Tues the 20th was a possible/probable date for our rearranged Parkhead fixture? Apologies for the conspiracy/paranoia more usually associated with a couple of our neighbouring clubs. Clearly Mr Doncaster wouldn't stand for a system that ignores impartiality. I'm sure he treats each member club equally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanieD Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 A bit worried about the potential for an adverse impact on the attendance at the 20th December game at Parkhead - surely a considerable number of the habitual attendees at the ground in question will be getting their Christmas shoplifting done at that time?

scotty Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 And just to show that it's not just "oh woe is me" I see that Inverness have got one of their big paydays at 7.45 on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 And now our game on Hogmanay has been brought forward by an hour. Is that to male sure anyone watching the old filth game on TV can't get to Firhill for KO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that to male sure anyone watching the old filth game on TV can't get to Firhill for KO? Take your point but at least it means you can get a few pre match pints before the hordes descend on the city. Still have to pick your pub carefully. Thank God I'm not, but if I was a Killie fan requiring public transport to get to an fro Firhill I might be thinking of giving the game a miss. Many a Jags fan could be deterred as well. This is just another example of a total **** up in this season's fixtures. Why we've another home game coinciding with an ugly sister match is pure daft. Over the years we've been subject to over the top policing requirements at Firhill, largely because we share the city with the OF. But when it comes to the ugly sisters playing each other all commonsense goes out the window. Damage limitation.

jaggy Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Who the hell agreed to that date? It gives Thistle 7 games in December, 4 of them away. Absolutely ridiculous. I got this from a Celtic supporting relative: "You seen Celtics fixture list for December????? Hardly suiting them to be fair. NINE games in 28 days, five away from home!" Well I know Celtic chose to postpone our match in August, but these 2 posts show the farce of Scottish football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were thinking of inviting some OF fans to come up to Firhill afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that the OF game being televised reduced our previous coinciding fixture's attendance figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
