BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Surely an overreaction postponing the game today, the players involved had plenty of time to recover, also means we are gonna have to play a poncy midweek game to our inconvenience ? Absolute crap. ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'm not unhappy about it for a few reasons, those that are left behind can train and attempt to gel better, there can even be a bounce game organised for them. Those that are involved in the international will have more time to recover and unless it is a freak accident will be fit to play in a match that is probably one of the most important for Scotland in many years. Finally, and most importantly, because we always seem to play shit straight after a CL match! :pipehorse: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudie86 3 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 ^^^Agreed. They have been building it up all week, then come Saturday Scotland go one nil up, lose a goal with 15 mins to go......and then attack the last 15 mins, hit the bar, hit the past, ball cleared off line.....Final Whistle......Scotland out......Ohhh so unluckly, next day Glorious Failures etc...... Can see it now...... Not too mention the fighting throughout scotland that night, after the Ukraine game, thats the most trouble ive seen in town in a while (people drinking all day) and we won!!!! Imagine what it will be like when we go out!!!! And if any Rangers players get injured..... :angry2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembrance day game cancelled due to Scotlands hidden shame, hidden by the mhedia that is. Fear of Minutes Silence being desecrated by irish terrorist sympathisers in celtic tops sees Scottish game cancelled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadaready 9,437 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 This is what I don't understand about football sometimes. How can you put an entire league on hiatus because of the view that professionals need the rest. It is there job. I don't get a rest in my work week just because I am some extra assignments to take care of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on the gers 0 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 This is what I don't understand about football sometimes. How can you put an entire league on hiatus because of the view that professionals need the rest. It is there job. I don't get a rest in my work week just because I am some extra assignments to take care of. I think you are right when people say players need a rest because they have played a game on a Wednesday and will not be able to play at their best on a Saturday, but the main reason for the old firm games being postponed is so that the players do not get injured before the game next weekend. If you do not support Scotland then I can understand why some Rangers fans are unhappy, but if like me you are a Scotland fan and hoping for a good result next Saturday then you are right behind the idea.
