Anybody know who actually makes the decision here? An hour ago it was a vote, now its claimed the SPFL make the decision not the clubs?

Don't know , but im guessing SKY will have the biggest clout . 

[KingKirk 26,524]

It's laughable. Clubs really think we can't complete 180mins of football next week before the winter break.

If this game was at Ibrox on the 2nd they'd be no talk of this btw

Why anyone thinks going with this break will allow full stadiums in 3 weeks time is beyond me fucking mongo bastards 

 

Pretty sure they all know, like every single one of us knows, stadiums won't be full after a 3 week break.

All because they have glass hamstrings.

SPFL advising clubs that playing with full capacity stadia in January is not going to happen.

So there is no reason to bring forward the break then surely?

Play on as planned and get back fans when we can would seem the best option to me.

If they bring forward the winter break, it will be by a week. That means the restart after the break should also come forward a week with cup games around the 13th Jan and league games starting on the 19th. The games should then be played in the same order. My concern is that they will start winter break a week early but return at normal date with the 3 games deferred to later on tge season creating a fixture backlog.

In any normal country, no, there isn't.

I know mate, we live in a real fucked up country now under the SNP/Greens and tarriers running everything to do with football.

Still nothing from the club? It’s utterly baffling

Ah don’t worry lads. Yousaf is all over it.

I hope they are in contact with Sky.

[scottyc06 6,927]

Surely if you take away the individual benefits for each club the common sense approach is to play the games just now no? 
 

There’s absolutely no chance that postponing for 3 weeks allows fans to be in so makes it pointless. If you are indeed doing it to ensure fans are present then the games need rescheduled & trying to find space for at the very least 3 games isn’t feasible! 
 

Surely the only logical way to do this is to play the games?

 

[scottyc06 6,927]

Having said that, there seems to be too much pressure coming in from too many clubs to stop this 👎

[Mr Soprano 13,964]

Not even a peep from Rangers.

Fuck me.

I assume they are in discussion with SPFL privately rather than going public. We are the team with most to lose if it changes. We either end up having to play Aberdeen and the tarriers away without 3 key players due to AFCON or we end up with a fixture backlog.

We as the fans deserve to know what stance our club is taking. A statement is the least they could do.

Government will support clubs impacted, so there goes the financial aspect hopefully a few change their minds now

Omicron Has been going nuts for more than a week now but both Hivs and the mhanks were happy for their fans to attend Hampden on Sunday because they thought they both had a chance at silverware.  All the fans singing their shite next to one another was alllllll fine, now it’s not. With Xmas and NY still going ahead, there is no way in 3 weeks time that cases will have reduced. 

Absolutely laughable. Hivs podcast guy just on SSN saying it gives their new manager another 3 weeks to prepare for their wee derby.  All in it for their own benefit, zero to do with fans safety. 

Oh, and it's ok to play the games tonight too! 

[KingKirk 26,524]

No matter what what happens right now we control this title race. If they all want a break give them it won't change the fact we are minimum of 4 clear.

Scenes in 3 weeks when we ask the SPFL to postpone 6 games due to the 3 players being at AFCON and put the league into complete chaos!!

When the SPFL conveniently change the rules on the 3 player absence cancellation to “ensure the league can be finished on time and to uphold the integrity of the league”. Hmmm mmmm

[The Specky Forum Organiser 69,709]

Corruption going on in plain sight for everyone to see when there's £40m at stake here, scunnered that people don't see this as a big deal
