mark1963 900 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Playing on a Sunday away then Sat lunch time away - they had better not spout pish about wanting to help Scottish teams /coefficients etc. In a sane world we would be assisted in every way - I thought it was evident we tired after about an hours slog on a heavy pitch - it was evident which team were better rested .Surely it would have been fairer to schedule the fixtures for us to have played Sat before /Sun after but no it has to be the hardest way possible - not many other countries would be like this . Better not whinge too much or sporting integrity will raise its ugly head WELL DONE RANGERS - in spite of your league.( Animal rights people would have been up in arms with the amount of games we had to play in the title run up around the Manchester final) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan 23 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I did find it quite strange that with a midweek champions league game being played we play Sunday and then earliest possible on Saturday.Hopefully the players get enough rest for the weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably still bitter from the Manchester run in when i consider the league stolen from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's been shown on several occasions that the SPL are simply not willing to help Rangers maximise Scotland's potential in Europe.The UEFA Cup run is a prime example. Even this year, we've been given five away games out of six when returning from the Champions League. Had Celtic made the group stages of the either competition, they'd have had five home games out of six.Not one for conspiracy theories, but let's be honest about it........

DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 There's lowering yourself and there's standing up for the club.The boys will stand up for the club by taking 3 points at tynecastle. I just don't think any conspiracy theories regarding unfair fixture lists are worth complaining about. We have to win regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think any conspiracy theories regarding unfair fixture lists are worth complaining about. We have to win regardless.There's no conspiracy. It's just utterly crazy that the two league games bookending a Euro fixture are at the closest possible times to said fixture. Surely the league have to think about changing their policy, or Sky or ESPN or whoever should at least wait until the Euro fixtures are compiled before setting their TV schedule.

But we have got momentum and I'm sure 3 points will still be what we take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I really don't see why we have any fair reason to complain about why we have to play five away games out of six after champions league fixtures...I think it has something to do with maintaining the integrity of the SPL competition. :anguish: :anguish: :anguish: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I thought we were playing Hearts on Sunday. I just looked on the official site and saw that it's Saturday at 12pm - fcuking joke. Not ideal, but we just have to get on with it. Go to Tynecastle and pick up all three points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisNZ 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 haha magic^Where did I see the other day that the SPL was open to talk with Rangers on moving fixtures to help them with the Champions League campaign?Cant find it now, but about damn timeRangers are the SPLs only hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It is ironic, as I'm sure I read/heard somewhere recently that the SPL stated they would try and help us as much as possible with our CL campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
