Living here, in the land of conspiracy theories, I’m immediately thinking this is a ploy to unsettle our players for the run in to the league championship. 😡 If JBA wants the Celtic job or any other big move, he knows the best way to get it would be to win the league, or take us as close to the top as possible. He looks and sounds pretty single minded to me, and the players have that cut about them too. They've been like a machine the past few weeks, while others have faltered.

Living here, in the land of conspiracy theories, I’m immediately thinking this is a ploy to unsettle our players for the run in to the league championship. 😡 The only way the Scottish media can generate clicks (or shift newspapers for the old school readers) is to mention the OF every day with a new story. Anyone who has any success is immediately linked to one of the Uglies. The only quotes you will see, if any, is some ex-player saying it's a good idea, and they will frame a headline as "JBA to Celtic" The entire Scottish media had Lennon Miller heading to Glasgow every day for the second half of last season. EDIT: Also, ditch Facebook. You'll thank me later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago It is getting exciting and sll we vsn do is look after ourselves. Our run in before split is tricky. We will see where we are once post split fixtures start HOME. Dundee Utd AWAY. Dundee AWAY. Celtic HOME. Hibs HOME. Falkirk AWAY. Hearts I think realistically we need 4 wins and 2 draws to mount any serious challenge COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I’m assuming post split is home: Celtic and Hearts away: rangers hibs falkirk Ideal outcome, last game of the season versus Hearts at Fir park. Winner takes the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago We only got 18 home games last season, ie 2 home games after split. We should be getting 19 homes games this season, i.e. 3 games after split. Would be totally unfair to penalise us two seasons in a row.

Unfortunately, the first phase fixtures are based on guessing who will be in the top 6, and there is no way they predicted ourselves and Falkirk would be there. Add to that the finagling they will need to do to try and prevent cries of bias amongst the title challengers, and we could easil end up with 18 again.

That all depends how it works out after the schedule has been manipulated to ensure the ugly sisters get a 19/19 split as usual, unfair is not a concept the SPFL recognise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Will 2 at home and 3 away not give us 19 home and away over the season? We have (will have) played: Rangers, Falkirk, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen & Dundee Utd at home times two, (12 games) and, Dundee, Celtic, Hearts, Livingstone & St. Mirren once (5 games) = 17 home, 16 away.

wellfan Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago The methodology for setting the post-split fixtures is flawed, unfair nonsense that gets zero proper scrutiny and shows little regard for fairness across the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennyc Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago My understanding is that taking the top 6 as it stands we will have 2 home (Celtic and Hearts) and 3 away fixtures post split. The team that will be complaining will be Rangers as they will need to have 3 away games to ensure a 19/19 split..... to mirror Celtic and avoid meltdown in the east end of Glasgow.. Given the current top 6 standings Rangers are due 3 post split games at Ibrox which would mean 20/18 split in their favour.. So I gather their fixture at home to Falkirk will be switched. Rangers will then have a 19/19 split and Falkirk 20/18 split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
