Why isn’t the game next Wednesday (second game like it was supposed to be) Doncaster should be sacked for arranging the game on an international date but he will get away with it as usualWhen you think about it, Doncaster has had a disaster again. Rescheduling the SPL's flagship fixture on an international week. Most leagues would give him his jotters
When's the cl money going up to 45 mill. It started at 30, 35 and now 40.With 40m on the line, and given the fixtures got moved to suit celtic in the first place, it would be dereliction of duty from the board not to request a postponement if either sands or roofe get called up and it gives us 3.
Has Carter-Vickers been called up? Or was this potentially missing?So they look to be missing
Kyogo (injured)
Turnbull (injured)
Vickers (USA)
Rogic (Aus)
Potentially any of the rest of the Japanese contingent. That’s 4 guaranteed starters.
I’d say their replacements for they 4 aren’t as good as the replacements we have for Morelos and Aribo. Obviously they two are huge for us, but I’m confident we’ll get through it.
Squad not announced yet, but the States manager mentioned he’d been keeping an eye on him and with MLS in close season I imagine he will be.Has Carter-Vickers been called up? Or was this potentially missing?
Aah. That’s an interesting point. If CCV gets called up that’s huge. I think he’s really shored them up. He’s replaced Welsh after all! And Starfelt has been a bad signing.and with MLS in close season I imagine he will be.
Is there not more than1 day of quarters? Even still, given travel, he would maybe make it back on the 1st. Tough askQuarters game is on the 29th Jan. 3 days before OF. They will prob face Senegal
Doncaster said there’s absolutely 0 room for movement whatsoever. We would need to postpone a few games, we can’t just choose that one. It would be rejected because there’s just no space to move games according to him.why would it be?
Definitely, he’s their Goldson.Aah. That’s an interesting point. If CCV gets called up that’s huge. I think he’s really shored them up. He’s replaced Welsh after all! And Starfelt has been a bad signing.
4 days but Nigeria because they won the group play first. That actually suited us. Yeah. Back on the 1st he could feature, maybe not start. But he is such an important playerIs there not more than1 day of quarters? Even still, given travel, he would maybe make it back on the 1st. Tough ask
You do know there is Internationals next week as well?Why isn’t the game next Wednesday (second game like it was supposed to be) Doncaster should be sacked for arranging the game on an international date but he will get away with it as usual
Can you point me in the direction of the rule that says that not just one, but all consecutive matches in which 3 or more players are missing on account of international call-ups, must be the subject of a Rule G7 postponement request.How many times do people need told you can't just pick 1 game. It would need to be the block of 3...
Daft idea
YesDo the club have to release him?
Disgrace to have a never say die winner as his usernameThat's the spirit.
Inspirational post
Senegal will pump them oot. Joe flys home next morning, recovers and comes back and slaps the hoardes.Quarters game is on the 29th Jan. 3 days before OF. They will prob face Senegal
Right there in bold that means any official matchCan you point me in the direction of the rule that says that not just one, but all consecutive matches in which 3 or more players are missing on account of international call-ups, must be the subject of a Rule G7 postponement request.
It's not part of Rule G7 as far as I can see. So where is this stipulated?
Further ineptitude! The biggest game of the season so far, the biggest game in Scottish football, one of the biggest draws in British football, a game sold round the globe to million’s. The corporate sponsorship and marketing opportunities are off the Richter scale. Showcase Morelos, showcase Furahashi, Rogic, Sands, Aribo to huge intrigue in Colombia, Japan, Oz, USA and NigeriaWhy isn’t the game next Wednesday (second game like it was supposed to be) Doncaster should be sacked for arranging the game on an international date but he will get away with it as usual
How do Jamaica have nothing to play for?Arfield has retired from International duty and Jamaica have nothing to play for.
At least it would set a precedent though and we would know no one else can take advantage, squarehead would get ridiculed if he said there was no room for postponements, what if we had an icebox fortnight all games postponed ?We can’t unless Roofe also gets called up to make 3 and let’s be honest it would be rejected anyway .
Nonsense
That’s fantasy land nonsense mate. 40m on this season. Chance to break the wheel and become the dominant side financially and stabilise the club. On what planet should we happily weaken our chances of that because of ‘no fear’.
This stuff upper lip take the high road approach is how the tims get what they want all the time.
Dignified silence gets us nowhere
Cowards, the lot of yeWe absolutely should be if we get 3 call ups.
but rules are ruleswhy would it be?
Itten up front?Front 3 of Sakala, Kent and new fast guy, no problem at all
Right there in bold that means any official match
Say Morelos, Aribo and Sands all away on International duty
then we can by that rule ask for the postponement of any game that covers the International period that they would be part of that matchday squad my understanding of the rule
Livingston
Ross County
Celtic
As there Internationals been played when we are due to play those games
Postponement and International Selection

When does the Japanese squad get announced ?
not sureWhen does the Japanese squad get announced ?
But why use a rule one game and not any others affected within that period?"any Official Match where three or more of its Players who would otherwise have participated in such match are unavailable through international selection"
Your section in bold does not say to me that you have to ask for postponement of more than one match? "any Official Match" does not to me imply all matches in an international period.
And your next paragraph containing "we can by that rule ask for the postponement of any game" means exactly that. Any game. Could be Ross County, could be Livi, could be Celtic.
I remain unconvinced that there is a rule that says you cannot apply for a postponement of a single game without asking for postponement of all surrounding games in that international period.
I think ‘Old Firm’ means Tim game.They play Argentina on the 1st so he would be out the tim game as well.
Assume you haven’t been paying attention. Doncaster has already set the stall out that there’s no room. They always get there way or has 2008, 2020s zoom call and the winter break disaster escaped your mindwhy would it be?
When people were highlighting all this when the international break was being manipulated for Celtics benefit were you not telling us it suited us as well because we had a couple of injuries?We are done
Unless the board find reinforcements
Not for me, Sakala through the middle with Kent 1 side and hopefully a new wide right attackerItten up front?
You are mental then.I think he’ll pull out the squad.
I'm just going with what we have, of course, I'd love a few new signings in before that.Not for me, Sakala through the middle with Kent 1 side and hopefully a new wide right attacker
Doncaster said there’s absolutely 0 room for movement whatsoever. We would need to postpone a few games, we can’t just choose that one. It would be rejected because there’s just no space to move games according to him.
The Japan manager has already said he won’t be calling any of them up, so it looks like only Rogic and possibly Vickers would be missing.It sucks, but they'll also potentially be missing almost their entire midfield so...
You can only request a postponement, the SPFL can refuse permission, which they certainly will.Regardless of space the rules are quite clear regarding postponements due to 3 or more international call ups.
McCoist even done so in the lower leagues I’m sure.
Did he not change his mind because of public interest in the game??The Japan manager has already said he won’t be calling any of them up, so it looks like only Rogic and possibly Vickers would be missing.
