Won’t be a popular opinion, but Fashion’s decision making and execution is absolutely woeful.

Game is crying out for Joe Aribo. Kent and Morelos missing in addition is a bastard. 

Barely anyone left pointing it out, let alone debating it. When even your own can't be arsed to see it for what it is, we deserve what we get.

Bypassing the qualifiers due to our tour of Japan 

Well, aye yeah, fair enough

Cometh the hour, cometh the no-nonsense, iron-willed hero...

We will get told to fuck off. 
Club have been spineless in all of this. 

Alfie's not going to ask not to play and nor would I expect him to. These are crucial world cup qualifiers ffs
Don't move the debate away from the key issue here - 1 football club in Scotland has benefited from moving the winter break while another has been severely impacted

Aye me too . Not sure where everybody gets their confidence from . 
I think we'll win , but it will be a hard one .

Of course.
Otherwise what was the point of moving a winter shutdown to the warmest December on record, making Rangers play in front of 500 fans, ensuring we lose important players for as many games as possible, all while the favoured club get new and injured players back and don't lose a single penny in game day income?
We had better fucking win after letting this farce pass with complete silence.

Plenty people on here were saying they'd understand the decision to bring forward the break if fans actually were allowed in after the 17th Jan (as nobody believed this would happen)'
Do they still think this?

It would have been understandable if they canned it then and there but they didn't, even after they played the midweek game against St mirren as it brought everybody to the same amount of games played. 
Instead they powered on forcing a round of games to go ahead with 500 fans, no thought to those teams ourselves included losing out on revenue since there favourite team were not affected, from the goverment to the league association they've made an absolute cunt of it but I suppose that kind of ties in with everything else they do. 

they claim it is as getting the fans into the grounds but where was that war cry when they shut down the season as other leagues restarted 🤷‍♂️
It will be a full house of stinking tramps, weather permitting 

This isn't just about getting their fans into the stadium. 
It's about the injury list their manager has racked up. 
If the roles were reversed and we were going into the piggery with several key players missing Jan 2nd. You better belive that fixture is getting played with or without fans. 

They don't give a single fuck about any other fans in anyone else's ground. SuperCovid-22 could be lethal in February, they'd find a way to make sure their midden is full, particularly against us.
Is anyone really doubting that we'll play that game in a full stadium, February or whenever?

From FB:
TOTAL HYPOCRISY. 
We were told two reasons/excuses by the clubs who wanted to bring forward the winter break. One fable was “games need fans” the other was “we get bigger crowds over festive periods”. Neither of these concerns were rectified by yesterday’s strange SPFL decision. 
We will see games being played on Sunday without fans and no SPFL clubs will benefit from festive full houses so what was the point? Who benefits from sliding fixtures that may still be played in empty stadiums? 
There was no vote by clubs. This is also a fallacy. The SPFL board have total decision making powers on fixtures. They asked the member clubs for feedback not a vote. Why they feel they had to do this is a dereliction of responsibility and why there was three options is even more confusing. We ended up with a highbred decision that contradicted the essence of the concerns. If clubs didn’t want to play in empty stadiums then why are we able to do that on Sunday this week and unable to do so the following week. It’s a farce. 
Celtic didn’t want to play this seasons first old firm game in an empty stadium and surprisingly the “random computer” selected the latest date possible and they didn’t fancy playing the New Years game without fans and guess what happens. If the game was traditionally played on Boxing Day you can bet your bottom dollar wed have had no games on Sunday. 
I note Doncaster is in the media today attempting to pass responsibility on to the Scottish Government for not changing their mind yet he’s completely changed his after being against sliding the shut down. He previously stated it was impossible as it would give us fixture headaches after the break. 
There seems no point in having a SPFL board as they don’t make decisions. They’d be better scrapping it and polling clubs on decisions because yet again they’ve failed their sole purpose. 
Their job was to do everything possible to get this season finished after a full year of matches. By flipping their decision yesterday they’ve made that less likely and it’s hardly unlikely that when football does return we will see full stadia which makes the decision even more ridiculous.  
Aberdeen etc who voiced concerns about lost festive income still don’t get any Santa bonuses. Celtic who claimed they just wanted fans in grounds didn’t get what they wanted but they did get the New Years fixtures postponed. Only the most ignorant of fans can’t see that was their real reason for their agenda. Funny that isn’t it? 
Unfortunately in 2008 and 2020 the football authorities caved in to Celtic and refused to extend/postpone the end of season date. This would normally set a precedence but let’s not convince ourselves that wouldn’t happen this season if we see a fixture pile up and a certain club are within touching distance of a title and direct entry in to the champions league.
Watch this space.

The SPFL will do as they please whether it's in their rules or not.

Certainly looks that way, the next round of games will be played after the 3 week window meaning as things stand we will play in front of an almost deserted Ibrox whereas the bheastie boys will play their next game at home without a reduced capacity.
You couldn’t make this shite up, sporting integrity SPFL style.

Still don’t understand if this is all about giving fans a small glimmer of hope on attending games why are they waiting until we’ve played our home game in what is essentially an empty stadium.
It absolutely reeks.
