Bill8972 479 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 BBC Scottish Premiership clubs have been asked to vote on when the winter break should be introduced. The three options are to pause as planned after 3 January, start the break after the Boxing Day fixtures or begin the hiatus before Sunday's games. The SPFL board are encouraging clubs not to vote for the third option due to the few dates available to play games. Should option two be chosen, a return to play would take place in the week beginning Monday 17 January. There would be midweek fixtures that week to make up for the postponed rounds of matches. Clubs have been asked to inform the SPFL of their preference by 17:00 GMT on Wednesday and Dundee United have already expressed support for bringing the winter break forward.

So as expected play the games when we will be missing players during the African Cup of Nations. We'll also play the games even know we'll have little chance of fans being allowed back which is the whole point of this according to them, doing it for the fans etc. Any chance we could say we voted but it got lost in the firewall. Worked well for them last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,513 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The only thing I can think re the Rangers silence is that they know the vote is going to fail and the football authorities have no where to go after it but that’s probably giving us far too much credit. magic8ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if it would make any difference to be honest. If we come out and say we are apposed to it, its just going to go through anyway and we will be left with egg on our face. Best we could do is come out demanding that we are not put at an unfair advantage with players being away on international duty for the ACON. If it is allowable for this thing to be decided by a vote of the clubs, and we are the only club not wanting it, then we are shit out of luck. If this can be challenged, then its a different kettle of fish, but by the sounds of it, it cant. No point in picking a fight if there is no way we can win. barrymorrison1, MurrayWilson, magic8ball and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
