791/1 on the SPFL computer giving us the five toughest away ties in a row in our first 5 away games-In the season that VAR appears halfway through

[Padddington Bear]

Happy to be corrected if our first 5 away games Livingston, Hibs, Corruption FC, Sheep Shaggers & Hearts are not considered the 5 toughest away fixtures we could face or if my maths are out in my calculation. Also happy to accept allegations of paranoia

 

[The Director]

Thats not the computer giving us them. We played them all at home in the first batch last season. The fixtures flip as they always do. Not sure what you’re getting at.

 

[london_bluenose]

Deary me. The fixtures flip each season.

 

[McQueen]

…..

 

[cooperman]

Also stupid no having VAR till half way through the season, so the phuck ups by refs before then is ok? Makes the season kind of unfair imo

 

[M@x]

Not this shite again.

 

[William Riddick]

Other than Tannadice which I think is tougher than Livi.
At the end of the day I would rather get the hard one's out the way first

 

[sw26]

The fixtures flip? But we’re always told the fixtures are randomly selected by a computer.

Source?

I won’t hold my breath because the fixture list has never been and will never be random despite folk on here clamouring to claim otherwise.

They're not our 5 toughest away games
Your maths are wrong
You're paranoid

But otherwise I fully agree with you

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

The fixtures flip? But we’re always told the fixtures are randomly selected by a computer.

We have literally never been told that mate. We have always been told the opposite

 

[Partickger]

The fixture split between home and away makes no sense but it’s a recurring theme every two seasons for us and them.

 

[JRei8790]

Deary me. The fixtures flip each season.

He has a point about var though

 

[UnionCruiser72]

Why do numnuts like yourself not realise that they flip the fixtures each year and also place certain fixtures on certain dates so there’s no major fixture clashes and to help police out.

Honestly some folk are on a different level in terms of thickness

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Deary me. The fixtures flip each season.

Deary me. Since when?

 

[The Director]

The fixtures flip? But we’re always told the fixtures are randomly selected by a computer.

The fixtures always flip. Every season. Why do you think we always play them home first one season then away first the next season. The only randomness Is the order, not the actual fixtures.

Mate it Is utterly mental.

 

[Doakes Loyal]

Fancy we pump all those dirty stinking cunts, and Livingston.

 

[Davie Weir]

The fixtures flip? But we’re always told the fixtures are randomly selected by a computer.

We are never told that, it would be mental to just randomise the fixtures and not take other things into account. There was a thread on here the other day about all the different things that can impact the scheduling of fixtures.

 

[lovenkrands72]

Was the exact opposite last year. They had a much tougher run of away games than us.

The whole "random fixture generator" thing is utterly boring. Hasn't been completely random for as long as I can remember.

 

[Moz]

Celtic's first away games last season

Hearts
Rangers
Livingston
Aberdeen
Motherwell
Hibs

 

[The_Gaffer]

3 of those sides finished bottom 6 last season.

 

[Alex_Bear]

Not sure about the fixtures but I think the VAR coming in midway through a season is a joke.

I'm sure Clancy and the rest of the bheast army will do all in their power to get them a good lead by then.

 

[Farkimedes]

Jesus %^*&

 

[FriendsDontLie]

I am happy with the fixtures.

We will be ready

 

[RH_2020]

Also stupid no having VAR till had way through the season, so the phuck ups by refs before then is ok? Makes the season kind of unfair imo

Exactly, what’s the thinking behind this?

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

He has a point about var though

but we know that already, even last season we knew that!

 

[CoplandFront4]

Remember when we used to laugh at Celtic fans for their paranoia. Getting worse with each passing month among our own

 

[Crispy Bacon]

Why do folk get their titties in a knot over this?

We need to play them all at somepoint.

 

[Govan36]

Deary me. The fixtures flip each season.

And somebody gets paid to run the "algorithm" that does that every season

 

[JRei8790]

but we know that already, even last season we knew that!

I still can't get my head round the fact we get royalty fvcked by the authorities here and we just accept it. Even if we know in advance even better

 

[Rick Springfield]

Remember when we used to laugh at Celtic fans for their paranoia. Getting worse with each passing month among our own

Maybe not in this case but most of our fans have good reason

 

[DerekSSR]

We've got a section of our support that is mentally unstable as them, take a day off.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

It's a reverse of last season, it would be the same odds as having it the other way round. We'll have VAR for when we have those away fixtures again in the third round of matches.

This is ACSOM, Just Us Tims levels of moonhowlery. Honestly man, stop raging.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Why do folk get their titties in a knot over this?

We need to play them all at somepoint.

Absolutely. But other than our games against the filth being vice versa per season it is not always automatic that the rest of the fixtures 'flip' as is being maintained on here.

As for those five being our hardest away fixtures? If Livingston is genuinely regarded as a hard fixture, then we're in for a long season.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

The biggest issue for me re away games is playing them on a good grass pitch - the park at St Johnstone last season was disgraceful and a real leveller.

 

[Theresa May]

Happy to be corrected if our first 5 away games Livingston, Hibs, Corruption FC, Sheep Shaggers & Hearts are not considered the 5 toughest away fixtures we could face or if my maths are out in my calculation. Also happy to accept allegations of paranoia

Consider this an allegation of paranoia for your acceptance.

 

[Zadok]

Tell you what I'm really raging about. Our 4th fixture in February is Hibs away.

 

[SSR]

Also stupid no having VAR till had way through the season, so the phuck ups by refs before then is ok? Makes the season kind of unfair imo

VAR should be introduced at the start of the season. Just like any rule changes.

 

[Salsabear]

The sooner we play the filth again the better…I know the fixtures will never work that way but I’d be happy if those cuunts were our first two games of the season.

 

[remembertheepoch]

i dont see how you can (within the boundarys of "sporting integrity") offer VAR midway through a season. honestly its corruption in broad day light and no one seems to have batted an eye lid, especiially given that we will only play teams potentially 3 times, so that means some away games will only be covered by VAR twice, others 3 times.

no one in the mhedia, unsurprisingly in the corrupt hell hole of scottish football, has even bothered to call this out.

Applying VAR to a game actually changes the rules governing a match, eg in VAR context, play continues until the flow finishes, for example offside. in non VAR matches, offside is declared immediately or when Clancy decides it.

Interesting the rumour is that Clancy et all are conveniantly go to retire at christmas time, so they will be out to do as much damage as possible to us before it comes in.

 

[rangeral]

Yes it is

Away - Aberdeen Celtic, Hearts, Hibs, Livingston, Motherwell

[Swinton Ger]

This is how a League works: Every team plays each other team home & away (may be multiplied to give more games depending on how many teams involved e.g. see Scottish Leagues) team who has most points at the conclusion of the League are Champions. (I know we think Referees & the S.F.A. %^*& us over but park that bus a minute) Unless we get 9 away games in a row at the start of a season it doesn't matter. You need to beat every team you come up against no matter what. It doesn't matter what order you play them in. Most Rangers fans I know were happy Last year with how the fixtures worked out. How did that end up?

 

[TheMarbleStaircase]

Even if it’s randomly picked fixtures or not we still need to beat everyone so I didn’t think it matters in what order we play them.

 

[Big Joke New]

He has a point about var though

what point? VAR will come in more or less after we've played everybody home and away so how does the timing of VAR make any difference?

 

[.k.k.]

I say it every year, we play in a league with Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, why are people so shocked that we actually need to play them!?

 

[Adam55]

This post is Celtic mentality

 

[Big Joke New]

yes it is - allowing for promotion/relegation. We were at home to Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts and Sellick first last season. The previous year Hearts weren't in it but we were away to Aberdeen, Hibs & Sellick first. This year we're away to all those again. It flips!

 

[cooperman]

VAR should be introduced at the start of the season. Just like any rule changes.

Just been told the 1st VAR game is us v hibs at Ibrox, not sure if that’s accurate though

 

[JRei8790]

Eh half the fixtures will have been played with var and then half without var is the point . Keep up pal

 

[Big Joke New]

Tell you what I'm really raging about. Our 4th fixture in February is Hibs away.

That's what confirms it for me. In no other league in the world would a team like Rangers be asked to travel to Edinburgh in late February. It's shocking
