Dont get me wrong, I’m not for cancelling DD’s or anything like that, but tonight I feel a little more distance between my club and I. And I don’t like it one bit. On the money sir, when we take over the club we need to be much more vocal on these issues. Ann Budge was invisible on the SPFL board and looks weak here.

SwindonJambo Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Just got in from work and heard the glad tidings from Proddy Forsyth on Radio 5. Words fail me. An absolutely ludicrous, inexplicable decision that defies logic and common sense. As others have said, the potential for aggro is huge. With our game kicking off at 1945, what happens if it goes to extra time and pens? People will have to leave early so as not to miss the last train home. The dickheads who ru(i)n Our game are an absolute joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Utterly mental decision. Even ignoring the logistical and transport nightmares that others have mentioned, I'm genuinely surprised Police Scotland have allowed 4 sets of fans to be in the same city at the same times... Especially when Hearts and Celtic fans will have been drinking all day. Disaster waiting to happen. I'll be honest I was looking forward to an overdue semi final but probably not going now. EDIT: I can't believe Budge has describer this as "positive" - I love her come on tae **** Ann. Scandelous.

Guest Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Wow. The blazers really do like to come up with new ways to show how little they care about the football fans that keep them in jobs. Aside from all the inconveniences for Aberdeen and Hearts fans in particular with those kick-off times, and the situation of having four sets of fans in the city at one time, what if it's a really rainy day and the Hampden pitch gets cut up during the first game?

Jumping the gun a bit aren't you. As a previous poster has said Hearts and Aberdeen would never have voted for this but the OF would so that leaves a casting vote with the SPFL. Guess the outcome of that vote. I would wait for the official club statement before losing my shit. The Police Scotland officials who agreed to these timings need booted off the force.

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. ???????? The SFA are only interested in promoting the Weegie erse cheeks.
