William H. Bonney Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 No direct trains from Glasgow to Bathgate either on that Sunday due to engineering works.

If it goes to penalties, we’ll be lucky to get home and the sheep can’t even get a ****ing train there in time! I can’t believe that Ann thinks this is a good idea - I’d like to hear her thoughts.

TurboT Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 If you're an Aberdeen fan coming from Aberdeen and want to get the train. The first train gets you in to Queen Street at 12.35pm. With a bit of luck they could catch the second half. FFS. I honestly thought it was a joke when I saw the headlines. Wow, just Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 2 minutes ago, merrymac said: This statement and lunancy content confirms without a doubt(as if there really was any) that the SPFL have no regard for any clubs outside the Old Firm. To ask ourselves and Aberdeen to travel lengthy distances at totally unreasonable times to make sure the Old Firm have no upset is unreal. They are the ones that require the changes, and are the ones suffering no hassle whatsoever. Whoever decided the dates given Old Firm involvement in Europa league,and did nothing re planning until now, also needs their jotters. Pissed Rangers fans after their game, pissed Celtic fans before their game, with a sprinkling of Sheep and ourselves, what could possibly go wrong??? Not just Old Firm. Aberdeen and a Hibs were involved in Europe too. There me was always a risk that this could happen, but the arseholes in charge did not realise this. To solve a problem of their own making, they have come to a decision that shafts the non Glasgow clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a massive fan zone set up on Glasgow Green for all sets of fans from around 3pm, those coming out the first semi can make their way there and those for the 2nd semi can also be there. Bouncy castles, kids entertainers, bars, food trucks, couple of bands and some shows. Everyone partying in harmony regardless of team supported.

The Scottish football associations are a ****ing joke, in all honesty at time like this I could just chuck football. Chucked the national team for rugby 2 years ago, unfortunately due to human nature I'm ****ed by my love for Hearts so will continue to follow football. In all honesty we should boycott the game, would be a bit petty but make national news and show the UK what a ****ing shambles we are. Bent as **** will do anything for the Glasgow teams. Shambles Aberdeen having to get to Glasgow for about 1030/1100 on a Sunday. - shambles Imagine the state of the pitch as well... Rodgers will be spitting feathers.

The GFA/GPFL always do their damnedest to support either of the ugly sisters. So even if Aberdeen and Hearts had said no the Glasgow clubs would have been fine with it and any deciding vote would have been with the GPFL so they were always on a loser. The sooner the old club tie morons and current inept officials get booted out of running our game the better. The players need our support at the game but getting as many as possible there has become much much harder. If you can't go due to the timing perhaps donate the cost of the ticket to the club via the Foundation if you can. The alternative is make your disdain very public, walk out of the meeting and create a public issue. The rest of your post is just sanctimonious drivel.

colinmaroon Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Just think of the Uglies' fans who desert their local teams further afield to follow the Ruin of Scottish Football. A small consolation! Let's hope that Aberdeen beat Sevco and we beat Celtic and then we can laugh ourselves silly at all their sycophantic manoeuvring just to please the Butt Cheeks! The Football authorities in Scotland, both of them, are not fit for purpose. Talks of merging them into one body will make no difference. If you mix kerraaap with kerraaap, what do you get?

redjambo Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Jeff said: I can't get my head round why Budge thought this was an acceptable solution? This. It's crazy. The only thing I can think of is that it was presented to her as a "We, and therefore you, have no choice" situation, due to (i) the potential fixture pile-up, (ii) the gap between games requested by the police, and (iii) the "contractual obligation" to play at Hampden. I'm sure with a bit of persuasion, the contractual obligation could have been waived, one of the games played at Murrayfield, and all of this chaos been avoided. However neither Glasgow team will have wanted to travel to Murrayfield and I imagine that they therefore told the SPFL which decision they should make. The fact we and Aberdeen let them do that to us means that they will carry on forever doing things like this to clubs outside the Old Firm. We had the chance to show some balls and stand up to them. Instead we "sorted a couple of things out" at a "positive meeting". It beggars belief, it really does.

The time we get out of Hampden and try and make it back to Edinburgh it will be not a kick in the arse of midnight. ???????? Same with me this would have been my son's 1st trip to Hampden no danger I'll be taking him through to this and he's heartbroken about it i can handle the late kick off but 100k fans from 4 different clubs intoxicated within a 2 mile radius makes me very nervous so he wont go Stunned ann and Hearts have agreed to this it will be carnage through there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
