middli 1,579 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Are home games before the split protected from being moved for TV (outside of the old firm derby)? I'm sure this was the case before we went into Div 3. If not does anyone know what the situation with TV rights is or can they choose any games they like?

KingKirk 25,688 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have been waiting all summer to say it now the fixtures are out I will this league should be our number 1 priority I'd happily not enter any cups(I know its not possible) to concentrate solely on these 38 league games coming up. Lets put these bastards back in there place. I would just add that would be my ideal situation for this season only Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Im happy with that. Start at home, New Year game at home, the deciding OF at Ibrox. And as I'm sure MW will be making it clear to our players tomorrow morning at training, 3 wins from 3 in the League Cup and 4 wins from 4 in the League before we go to Parkhead. Full of confidence and hunger, send out a message to those fuckers. Getting excited now , fucking send it on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveEarle 9,774 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if the December 31st Old Firm game gets shifted to Jan 2nd for TV. Not sure I can recall an Old Firm game on Hogmanay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No old firm game will be deciding Imo those days are long gone I actually worry more about the game before and afterward. Many times we seen it winning that game but slipping up just before or after.

The Monk 3,208 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Will try and book flights for either the Accies or Motherwell game, maybe even both as I can't make any sept-Dec, that 31st v Celtic is actually perfect for me but no chance of getting tickets for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great start Goat .I'm excited as every other bear. You have your away trip to Dundee . Hell I may even go myself to that one . Just hate saying when we start counting wins before we even know who's in our starting 11 . I would have preferred .Aberdeen or Hearts at Home .Gets the juices flowing on opening day .

On paper and historically maybe . I would prefer just treating these games like 2 cup ties .Must wins . Get the foot in the door so to speak . Confidence would be very high if we had 6 points early doors . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times we seen it winning that game but slipping up just before or after. Edu's goal in 2010 was hardly centuries ago. The final game post split has more often than not been vital from my memory, I do agree with you though- consistency is the crucial factor. What gives us a right good chance I feel though is the fact that, not accounting for cups and rearranged fixtures, we'll have 7 days to recover and prepare prepare for just about every game. 7 days for our manager to to prepare our team, with one opponent in mind. It's a luxury that allowed Leicester (among other things obviously) to be so consistent last year. It's not just extra rest, it's extra preparation for every fixture. Come the end of the season when each game becomes more and more important and high stakes that will benefit us, an extra 10 minutes shift in the legs, and 2 or 3 extra sessions on the training ground preparing for the match in the bank.

Sam English Loyal 945 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Not bad. Accies away could be tricky but I'm confident. Looking forward to the new season big time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it's just because Dec 31st falls on a Saturday that the fixture has been allocated to that date. A Hogmanay Old Firm game would be great but I can't see it. January 2nd would be my guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,688 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Its the complete unknown that's got me nervously excited. Will the squad we are building allow us to challenge for the title in the first season. Will the tactics that seen us canter the league last year work as well this. Not to long now until we find out.
