Karl Fletcher Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Glad it's on the Saturday. Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's illegal to have live football on TV at 3pm on a Saturday, hence why it can't be a 2pm KO.I thought that was just written into the contracts rather than an actual law. For a cup game it is a fucking farce. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 AFC have said it's not confirmed but "very likely". Bit of a shitter for me, wife's away and got 2 young boys, one I could probably take b ut means no boozing and the other is defo to young, job for gran perhaps. Fk knows. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Club has to be happy though, they'll make a relative fortune in TV money/ticket dosh from that weekends games, especially if the sunday game is Hearts V celtic. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's illegal to have live football on TV at 3pm on a Saturday, hence why it can't be a 2pm KO. I'm assuming there is no replay in the semis? Hypothetical situation. 1245 ko 1330 Half Time 1345 2nd half kicks off. 1430 Game ends in a draw. 1435 30 minutes of extra time begins 1505 Extra Time Ends 1510 Penalty Shoot Out begins. And thats without any added time and only 5 minutes between full time and a draw. Stupid SFA cunts didn't think that one through did they? We'll do them a favour and beat Hibs in normal time then.

ollie1903 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Better on the Saturday for sure, but a raj for me. Would a 5 o'clock kick off be too much to ask so I could hot foot it down after his game Link to comment

Dynamo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yus. Saturday is far better than Sunday. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Happy with the saturday. A change of job also means I'll be able to attend more games easier. Link to comment
tup Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The telly thing is a fallacy, the clubs should say ram it, we want a full house or as near it as possible. You lose more money from folk not turning up than you gain from the telly. AFC please reject this and request a 3pm KO and that's it. The travel times are ridiculous otherwise. Link to comment
Roo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't think I'll manage sadly Link to comment
Stoney Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Pile of shite Remember the QoTS Atmosphere was severly dented by us having to get up an ungodly hour to make the game, Would rather it be on a friday night than half 12 on a fucking saturday. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hmmm...will need to try to get that off work. Missed yesterdays game cos of work, so dont wanna miss the semi! Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 whats the outrage with KO times? personally dinsna bother me. dont really like sunday games though, so glad its ane on teh sabbath. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It doesn't bother you because you have no intention of travelling. It's not fair on the fans the kick off times these days. close. but wrong. poor fishing. i know the kick off times can be awkward but you just have to get on with it. its another shit symptom of modern football.i'm arriving on friday night and leaving sun. so thats why the times dinna bother me.

You're going to an Aberdeen game? Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You're going to an Aberdeen game? Correct at the second attempt . Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Bluto if you lived in Aberdeen permanently - the kick off time would bother you when it comes to Aberdeen game. I wasn't fishing. nae for a semi it wouldnt. but then i would maek a weekend of it. i appreciate others wouldnt and then the timing can be an inconvenience. but a couple of hours here or there, isnt really a big deal.i'm just grateful thast its not on sunday.
