We should oppose that, as it gives them an extra week to prepare for a semi final - which will put us at a disadvantage in the competition. Stick with the original plan, sod the lot of them.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Breaking News: SPFL has announced that both games will be on the same day as originally planned. The Rangers vs Aberdeen game will be played in Barcelona and the celtic vs Hearts game will now be played in Munich. A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed they'd be sending 200 fully paid observers to each game and that this was a satisfactory outcome for all parties.

Can't we just tell them we'll play there? I really enjoy going to Murrayfield for rugby and I think Rangers v Aberdeen in a semi-final in that stadium would be brilliant. It'd add to the occasion/spectacle and I personally would look forward to it much more than another trip to Hampden. Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 4,002 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hearts & celtic play each other the week after. Just swap the competitions and then both games can be at Hampden just on different weekends? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance. It also gives Hearts an extra week. Both play midweek so celtic will play thursday, sunday then wednesday before a cup semi. Arguably Hearts will still be fresher. If they rest players in the midweek league game then they risk dropping points in the league and it still doesn't stop their "best" centre half missing the semi against their bogey side.

Now they have come to the conclusion that we can’t play in the same stadium so let’s just let them make the next decision on who plays where! It’s not as if the fenian spfl can make any decisions, they’re even more inept, a fucking draw is too complicated for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
