08/09 Fixture List


Recommended Posts

First Xmas in 3 years where we wont be going to Pittodrie, oh well know need for me to go home for Xmas this year especially when id be flying back around 27th and OF day is then.

 

Hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic in the first 4 games isnt going to be easy, we'll have to get off to a flyer.

Considering the signings we make a long with these fixtures and taking into consideration there's always one or two teams who get off to flyers.. we could be in the bottom 6 after the first 5 games.

The SPL got some Canadian mob to do the fixtures this year. Read it in the Sunday Herald this week...

 

Hark at you, reading the broadsheets! Oh, that's right, the Suday Herald is a tabloid now ;) :moon:

I really don't want us to go down the road of Celtic fans. Playing 5 games in 10 days is one thing but 3 away games out of 4 is hardly a statistical anomaly.

 

It would potentially put us at a disadvantage but only if we were not to pick up full points (or 7 including a draw at Parkhead) - but if we pick up those points then we actually are at an advantage as, at some point, we will see a reversal.

 

However, the scheduling IS poor because there will be crucial CL qualifiers in there.

Thats the only poor scheduling IMO, they are nuts not to tyr and get both OF clubs into the CL proper.

 

The fact we have 3 away games in the first 4 means nothing as they will be balanced out over the season (hopefully! Some poor bastarding team will have 17 home games and 19 away due to that split)

That is what I meant by the scheduling - the SPL side of it evens out for the most part (ridiculous split notwithstanding).

 

It is scheduling 3 away games knowing full well that we will have a Euro qualifier away in there as well.

 

I know that the SPL hired some whizz Canadian company to do the fixtures but the SPL MUST have been able to review them prior to releasing them - which means that they have buried their heads in the sand yet again, a mere month since their scheduling was last lambasted.

 

Amateurish administration by the SPL.
