Us and Ross County both on board though so expecting they'll defer to the outcome of the vote. I thought that the clubs rejected delegating this type of decision going to the board in the Summer? Appreciate there were about 4 different options and sliding scales of seriousness. It was quite convoluted and I can't remember the specifics of each one.

The Specky Forum Organiser 69,709 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hilarious if it was a 10-2 vote in favour but us and Ross County voted 2-1 against and it never happened Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty dull EPL card on the 2nd as well, if they were looking to pick one of them to replace our game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the clubs power with all those agendas at play shows that those on the board are just figure-heads and puppets. What the fuck do they get paid to do? It certainly isn't a brand of leadership I've seen before. Paisley Blue Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,914 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 24 minutes ago, Brubear said: Surely if the winter break us brought forward a week it also finishes a week earlier so the tarrier game would be the 18th. If not they are cancelling the games and rescheduling them. According to BBC they want to start back on the 17th. Got to remember the sheep game still has to be rescheduled as well if this all goes ahead. Looking at the 19th Jan probably sheep away. After that only other midweek is 2nd Feb. If dude is right and they don't want a midweek old firm game. That bumps it back to March or April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,485 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Does anyone know if by bringing this forward means the break still lasts to the 22nd of January or is the suggestion that we would bring football back a week early?

Supersonic 4,664 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 If that's right enough, St Mirren shouldn't be forced to play any of these games with only 5 first team players available. Whilst unlikely, imagine it was us in that position. Mental. Bluekev, Gaffbear, Paisley Blue Loyal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
