Post Split Fixtures Discussion

[Foster14]

If Partick and St Johnstone were there instead of Hibs and Kilmarnock (i.e. last year's top 6), it would be 8 home and 7 away for them.

[SheepieBaaBaa]

Rangers' home form is pish, it's not an advantage for them to have more home games just now

 

Fair comment, but still sticks out as a bit odd and home games would still generally be classed as an advantage.

 

I also take the point about predicting the top 6, but for the other 5 teams to be largely unaffected and the Huns t have 10 at home, something just seems iffy.

I'm probably crediting the logicians at the SFA with a bit much skill to orchestrate that mind you.

I hate the split. It should be scrapped. Set out the fixtures at the start of the season like most leagues do, then the cops won't be able to threaten not to police games and force the SPFL to arrange fixtures to suit them. The entire set-up in Scottish football is a complete joke and is broken almost beyond repair.

Noises coming that we play Sevco on the midweek fixture at pittodrie.

That would be alright...

Hopefully true, a toxic midweek atmosphere far better than a lunchtime

If you look at the table/stats with just games against the top 6 included.

 

Rangers with 10 home games in the first phase and everyone else 7?

That's fucking bizarre!!!

Not bizarre really when you see the SPFL board.

It was clearly arranged to ensure they got bigger games in early to aid with their finances & of course to give them an advantage in terms of post split as has happened because anyone could have predicted at least five of the top six sides really.

They made the fixtures before their shite home form was evident

 

The fixture list was blatantly weighted in their favour. Only a fool would deny this.

Meanwhile over some shithole in Glasgow

 

[dave_min]

Had anybody mentioned that the Huns have played everybody at home twice

[fine-n-dandy]

Indeed but thankfully what he says is clearly biased toward minkville & against the NE, so all he generates is pity.

 

He's a jealous fkr

 

Location, location, location

[oilcat]

Strachan sticking in his oar this morning saying we cant have celtic v rangers as a title decider or........We may see scenes like before the Liverpool/Man City game last week

 

 

Is he for fucking real?

[oilcat]

[Tord31]

celtic playing hibs and huns 1st and 2nd could be looked at as a bit of an advantage for us

[King Street Loon]

I hope celtic lie down to hibs and get beat thus setting up a league decider the week after.

[Tord31]

i'd go for that providing we have won at least one of our next two games

IF you assume this is correct

and IF Celtic/Rangers are never at home on the same gameweek

then our fixtures as follows:

 

Home to Hearts

Home to Hibs

Away to Killie

Away to Celtic

Home to sevco

Tough fixture, think we might lose that one

[Tord31]

oops edited

[GDON21]

In the original fixtures I am assured we were supposed to have sevco midweek up at pittodrie but its looking increasingly likely we will now have to travel to face celtic midweek. Albeit after they've won the title so hopefully will lie down to us.

[boboisared]

Probably the best we could have hoped for fixtures wise.
