SPFL computer again

Miraculously, for the two fixtures nearest Poppy Day, Celtic have been drawn away from home.
Of course, this is a good thing, but it identifies exactly how they have control over how fixtures fall in the SPFL season.
It has become increasingly clear that they are able to rig the game in Scotland from refereeing to the compliance officer position to Doncaster to the fixture list, they have their hands all over it.
 
I can see your point , on the other hand why not let the British public see what a vile anti British pile of sh!te of a club they are
I agree, if we are to get back in the PR game with them then this presents a perfect opportunity to use against them.
 
They don't even try to hide it now. Next whammy is the referee to 'officiate' the Aberdeen game.

They've admitted they place certain fixtures are certain times - Ibrox on 2/1/2021 being one of them. I'd rather not have them sully Remembrance day, so not unhappy with that

Agree with this, but would like some sort of acknowledgement that they don't schedule their home games then because they are dirty, British hating, 19th Century Terrorist bassas!
Is that too much to ask for? :cool:
 
Why would that even come into your head on fixture day? Folk should forget the scum and focus on our club and our supports respect and dignity.
 
Over 33 games till split in April , 5 plastic pitches for us to their 3.
See this, it’s fucking ridiculous and the ‘league’ is a total farce.

As for fixtures, we could sort it all out by doing the same thing every season.

Day 1, taking positions from the previous season

1st vs 10th
Promoted vs 4th
3rd vs 2nd
8th vs 9th

etc etc.

I’m absolutely sick of the hundreds of unknowns this shitty system generates.

I know in general they play away on remembrance weekend but did they not play home last season and the event went about with little disturbance . You tend to get the pissed up hardcore GB element at away games so I’ve always found it strange they want one. Seems to be more disturbance when they are away

every team should play each other the same amount of times. If there has to be a split it needs to be after round 2 then split and play each other twice more . Basically unless both Hamilton and Livingston make top 6 or one of them does and Kilmarnock miss out we will play more on plastic. Given Kilmarnock are most likely to make the top 6 out of teams with plastic . We could end up playing the games on plastic 6-4 and likely will

Another anomaly to look at is the amount of away games we have after Europe. We're at home 1 out of 4 qualifiers and 1 out of 6 group matches. I imagine they have the reverse amount of home games.

We got this fixture 2 years ago on the Sunday and dropped points. Alfie got sent off for hee haw and was overturned on appeal?

That mhob played Livi at home on the Saturday and we get sent up to Aberdeen on the Sunday knowing we need the win and then having your striker sent off for f all after 10 minutes.

No conspiracy just bad luck and coincidences :rolleyes:
 
Looking at their fixtures in general they don’t have a single run of 4/5 games which is difficult . Every month has ‘easy’ games. Compare to our January
 
They’ve admitted themselves that they are able to add certain criteria as exceptions then the system will generate the remaining fixtures randomly.

The club should press them to make all these exceptions public, its the only way sporting integrity can be maintained
 
The fixtures are not random and never have been so why do they pull our pisser and tell us otherwise.

If random fixtures are put in place for integrity purposes then every fixture has to be random or it's not....erm random

They don’t?

They are on record that they feed a ‘recipe’ into whatever computer program spits out the fixtures, there will be an element of randomness to it but it isn’t a completely random process.


What goes into the Premiership fixture recipe?
There are the obvious things like avoiding Celtic and Rangers being at home on the same day. Clubs who had 16 home games before the split last season will have 17 at home in the coming season and vice versa. We have also flipped all the pairings – for example Hibernian hosted Livingston in the first phase of 2019/20 so for 2020/21 their first meeting will be at the Tony Macaroni Arena. The timing of the European dates means that Celtic (Champions League qualifiers) cannot play Rangers, Motherwell or Aberdeen (Europa League qualifiers) in fixture rounds eight or nine. The Christmas fixtures are balanced so all clubs who are at home on Boxing Day have an away match on December 30. There are back-to-back midweek rounds at the end of January - all clubs will be at home in one and away in the other. We liaise with Police Scotland over dates we might need to avoid due to other major events in local areas but that was less of an issue this year because many of them were cancelled due to Coronavirus.”

There is so many certain fixtures at certain times the fixture list is written itself. Using a computer is just a means to blame something rather than a person. :))
 
I’ll be honest...the SPFL will do EVERYTHING in their power to ensure they get 10 IAR. It’s so obvious it’s unreal. The fixture list with all the subtle tweaks is another step towards it.

our Board had the chance to blow the SPFL wide open and we never took it. This will come back constantly to bite us in the arse...get ready for a long season.

This, however Piers Morgan and that plank with him will ignore it - along with all other mainstream UK press.
