500 is a long way from ideal but that's what it is. No point in bitching about it just get on with the games.

It’s ok I suppose when it doesn’t affect you.

Don’t know where people are getting this idea that we will be able to get games postponed for ACON. It’s an absolute impossibility.

The rules permit us to ask, but we’ll almost certainly be refused on the basis that there’s no way to reschedule the games.

I also don’t believe AFCON is a recognised international window so you doesn’t count towards the 3 players being away

As it stands most clubs seems happy to play Boxing Day then postpone the latter 2 fixtures.

So it's clearly not about safety then.

No it doesn't affect me as I watch all games on RTV anyway. But 500 is what they have legislated for. Don't see the rugby people complaining about it. They are just getting on with their games.

Covid passports and “vaccines”. Absolute pointless fucking nonsense at this stage.

[Thermopylae 15,288]

Well the great unwashed managed to get a championship with insufficient points at the star of covid so getting a 3 week break to solve their injury crisis at its end is really just par for the course

It’s never been about safety. For most, it’s about the balance between best chance of getting fans in v ability to play the postponed games. Us & them are trying to do what works best for us, as you’d expect.

This will come as a shock to absolutely no one.

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

More chance of our game being postponed on Boxing Day and every cunt else’s will be on

Yip but it seems the corrupt cunts don’t know the up and coming forecast yet know no games will be cancelled come January and February.

BCD is always going to be better than no football, and a league being called early.

It's all about the fans but. This is the best chance to get them back in according to the narrative lol. 

Forget that in 3 weeks weather will be horrendous or the government could easily have more restrictions in place. 

Honestly this once again shows how bad the game here is. 

[STEPPS BOY 77,760]

Aribo and co possibly missing re-arranged fixtures to play against Guinea and fucking Sudan boils my piss.

What a crock of shit that tournament is.

St Mirren 19/1*

Stirling Albion 21/1

Livi 26/1

Ross County 29/1

Aberdeen 2/2*

Hearts 6/2

Hibs 9/2

Scottish Cup 12/2

Dortmund 17/2

Dundee U 20/2

Dortmund 24/2

Motherwell 27/2

St Johnstone 2/3

Aberdeen 5/3

Europe 10/3 if either progress

Scottish Cup 12/3

Europe 17/3 if either progress

Dundee 19/3

International break

celtic 3/4

Europe or Possible fixture date 6/4 - 2 old firm games in 4 days and the last chance to play OF before the split

St Mirren 9/4

Europe 14/4 or possible fixture date

Scottish Cup semis 16/4

Sorry to edit your post Dude.......

If (as is fairly likely given their opponents won't have played a competitive game for 2 months)either of us progress in Europe then the only available pre split date for the game from 2 Jan is 6th April - 3 days after we meet at Ibrox. This date would disappear if either of us progressed again in Europe along with the following midweek.

This assumes no weather postponements and no cup replays (if they still apply?)

It also assumes that the 500 crowd limit is removed in 3 weeks the chances of which you can be certain the Joint Response Group already know (slim to none)

In an honest league with integrity they would transparently be laying out in detail all of the facts and stating that the risk of cancelling fixtures due to the 500 limit is not viable due to potential future fixture chaos and the fact that this 3 week circuit breaker is far more likely to be extended than not to be extended

Moving the break should not even be up for discussion

You get 2 men and a dug at rugby games,500 in a 50k stadium is ripping the Pish and the last time krankie gave a 3 week period we ended up locked out of football for a full season.

it's never been about safety, it's because of one club and one club only. (having players out injured and not having 60k fans for 2nd of jan), i'm no inspector clouseau but even that seems a bit foul.

I know that, you know that but no one will dare call them out on it including our own board.

[Gazzalivesforever 2,038]

10 out of 12 clubs backing early winter break after boxing day. Looks like it's settled then.

[BlueThunder 8,653]

I’ll be even happier than normal if we smash fuck out of Sporting Integrity FC when the game is played.

you and i and pretty much 90% of our fan base know what would happen if we did say something about it, we'd have the mhedia, the rest of scottish footballs fans, sfa, spfl and every blind cunt with a dog coming after us attacking us and trying to find ways of bringing the game into disrepute.

That's not possible, how are you supposed to know for certain who is available for a game in over a weeks time

True to an extent but get an independent doctor to evaluate all currently missing players and they decide.

Nah mate, Dundee have a capacity of close to 12000 and can have 500 fans.

We have a capacity of 50000 and can only have 500 fans. 
 

Fucking horseshit!

Only if Sky OK it. 

I think it’ll happen, which is an absolute joke. St Mirren (who are rife with covid) can’t get a reschedule, but a team who want a chance to clear a few injuries up can. There’s not a hope fans are back in 3 weeks and everycunt knows it. 

Boxing Day, the Sheep and OF really help break up the two weeks locked in with the wife and kids. Body blow for the Christmas holidays. 

[stuart1994 4,539]

The fact their willing to play tonight and boxing day just shows how much of a total farce this is.
