Post Split Fixtures are out

Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs at home is as good as it gets. Pity we get that the season the league is already sewn up, next season our post-split fixtures will be harder.

Just need to win it again before the split

It's the split, it's been on the cards for months. The alternatives were a 3rd trip to Pittodrie or Easter Road. Surely the corrupt decision would have been to send us to Easter Road?

Why did we play them twice away pre split then? They were in the top 6 last season so there is no excuse. Also why would any other ground be corrupt? Easter Road and Pittodrie don't have home advantage with no fans. Livingston still have their advantage with their pitch. I knew it would happen but its still disgusting.

Because we played them at home twice last season so the fixture flips twice away this and next twice at Ibrox pre spilt

The split has no effect on who we play

Because the home/away fixtures simply reverse each season, it's not dependent on who was in the Top 6 the previous year.

So next season we will play Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs, Livingston, Motherwell and Hamilton twice at home before the split, the opposite of this season. (Or whoever replaces Hamilton if they get relegated).

That means a hard fixture start for the new Shellick coach.

Is that reverse from normal??
 
bkerr72 said:
Yeah and Sheep back to St Johnstone for a 3rd time.

Tims and Hibs were only teams that's fixtures were correct for so Livi and St Johnstone will finish with 18 home games and 20 away.

In normal times when fans can pay at the gate, how are these teams compensated for loss of gate money? Do the affected clubs have to refund cash to ST holders?

Farcical situation just so some diddy teams get us and celtc twice each

Superb!!! I was wrong about last game, thankfully!

Also good to see it done H-A-H-A-H Rather having two home in a row.

Also, sheep get to see us receive the trophy! If it can't be the beggars this is a good substitute!

What a season this has been to win the title, but all the wee addons have been outstanding.

What's your suggestion then Sherlock?

The Bears are having a party no matter whether the pubs are opening or not.

Yes and I will be too.

I’m just surprised they haven’t gone pre-pubs opening.

Given the fact we were recently criticised by the Scottish government, police and media, the cynic in me wonders if they are scheduling this game knowing full-well that there is the danger of trouble.
 
Lifting the trophy against Aberdeen is hilarious.

Other than it being against celtic, we really couldn’t have hoped for better. Hope they give us a guard of honour before the game to congratulate their champions

No manager
No feral bheasts (like Hivs)
2-3 bears in their team.
No sheep fans in

Was the least confrontational choice to be honest. Will be played at walking pace - unless the Sheep haven't nailed down 5th.

We don't learn and to be honest more than half the bears that were on the streets don't go to Ibrox, my opinion.
 
Livi away for a third time was expected but it's a pisser. Can't remember seeing a good game on that shitpile. :(

That schedule doesn’t actually look too bad.

The way it was being made out was as if we had a game every 3 days after the Cove Rangers tie.
 
Every game falls on my days off...delighted with this.

Even delighted with the away games and timings, couldn't have fallen Any better to be honest.

Promises to be a great finale to the season.

The police must already have been consulted as someone on here last night was able to inform us that trophy day would be 15 May and we would be at home with a 12.30 kick off as all police overtime had been canceled for that time.
It is therefore inconceivable that the cops were not involved in the decision to play the last scum game on the bank holiday Sunday.
 
it's a bit sad that people are giving it the "but, but, but people might gather with mates!" or "the pubs are open, this could be a disaster!" patter. People gathered with mates when we won the league and other than Sturgeon whinging for a couple of days, what was the consequence? There was no spike, there was no consequence for the club, the old firm still went ahead as planned and it's been forgotten about already. The entire thing is based around compliance and by May there'll be next to nothing to comply with. Sturgeon might whinge for a bit again but who gives a fvck? Want to go then go, don't want to go then don't go.

My hotel is booked. B-)
