Graham 3,478 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 even if we wanted to... sfa and hibs allowing us to postpone a game to potentially half celtics european money 😂😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam74 1,051 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 No need to move it. The more games we play the better right now. Always takes us a few games to get up to speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,455 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 No chance, get the games played and get the momentum going Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHDTB 33 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 No as many have said, the team need to keep playing too gel better. The more they play together the better they will understand each others play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRab 3,070 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Grass pitch, away from home and a tough ground against a team that will have a go and test us defensively. With a home support that hate us. I think it’s perfect preparation for the players tbh. Always the chance of Porteous injuring somebody mind..

VanVeenRangers 2,573 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 9 hours ago, G.E.C. said: No. Backfired the last time before we played Lyon. Against Gretna as well. Probably would have won us the league had we won the 3 points back then. The Sinner 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,748 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I think it suits us to play more games, players are still getting to know each other and gel so more minutes in them as a squad is a benefit. Particularly at the start of a season. If its deeper into a Euro comp and its been a long season then yeah would make sense to postpone a game... they would have to get permission from an unnamed chairman first i think though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 31,000 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 At this point in the season we need to play games, not postpone them IMO. JackAlex93 and BlueKnight87 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper 171 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We couldn’t anyway, I’m sure they’ve got a tour of Japan coming up that would be affected Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sinner 46 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Can’t believe it’s even a question. Breaks and postponements never work for us anyway so why try to force 1? BroxiSonBoris 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes Pal 5,708 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We have built up the squad for this very reason. The whole point is that we should have at least two players for every position that will be able to handle the volume of games. Every player you see interviewed on this subject claims that they would rather play than train, so no, no postponement for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 35,390 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Might just be a distorted memory, but whenever we have a full week to prepare for stuff like this it never goes well. Think Lyon, Europa league final etc. I think we’re far better just keeping momentum going. ElBufalo20, Bears r us and BlueKnight87 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,865 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I prefer momentum, especially this early in the season. Also, I feel we are at out best when under a bit of pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,868 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Postponing games at this stage of the season is nonsense tbh, shouldn’t even be entertained. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 yes, it'll allow us to set up training specific solely for playing against PSV after tomorrow's game. Gets a few behind closed door games for match fitness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
