Hearts_fan Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 BBC had this story at 4pm bulletin, saying Hearts v Celtic likely to be first, at Murrayfield, with Aberdeen v Rangers later in the afternoon at Hampden. If this turns out to be the case, I will be as pleasantly surprised as I've ever been. Also, a massive GIRFUY to Willie "Glasgow-is-the-home-of-Scottish-football Haughey".

Gmcjambo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 16 minutes ago, Felix Lighter said: Provided all parties can agree? So if celtic don't agree it's a non starter? Being totally cynical here but Murrayfield talk is a red herring imo, leaked to the press this afternoon by Lawell to make it appear it was on the table, where as privately he'll be saying "...no feckin' chance". Still expecting both games at Hampden with date change. Now that would be some red herring, clearly specifying alternative venue although he does have a brass neck and is absolutely corrupt! : “This is clearly extremely welcome news. We immediately contacted Police Scotland and informed them of this development and this has enabled us to open talks to explore whether the match could be staged at an alternative venue in the timescales available.

Felix Lighter Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 1 minute ago, Toggie88 said: Hmmmm, Doncaster playing a very dangerous game if that’s the case. He can’t backtrack from both “we can’t get out of the contract” and “fixture change is impossible”. Having Hampden Plc (the SFA) reconsider, allows him to save a little face. All credibility would be gone if fixture change is now the solution. I agree, Doncaster is between a rock and a hard place. I hope it's Murrayfield, but ultimately Lawell has his arm up Doncasters hoop and he won't care an iota for Doncasters credibility. Popcorn time at Chateau du Felix.

wanderer Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 According to some on Hibs.net, we are cheats and shouldn't be in the semi-final (not sure how they came to that conclusion, I can only assume they are referring to Andrew Irvine playing, which is clutching at straws even for them!!!). They can't wait for us to come back down to earth as our "arrogance" is unbearable due to our good run of form...they really don't do irony do they?...given the amount of nonsense we have had to listen to since their cup win.

When Hearts confirm the date I’ll be booking my flight! ✈️! My point was the organisation running the competition confirm the kick off time/location not the club. Using your logic Hearts need to confirm every kick off time via the website? You talk about final positions. A confirmed kick off time by the competition organisers is final. Or should be. Also see the quote from hearts ‘Following further conversations this evening, I do not believe the plan can/will be changed.‘ Re the championship final game, this was changed back as Rangers/Hibs final positions were not confirmed and it was deemed to be unfair. As one team would know what they needed to do. This is a very different situation. My original point still stands though. The competition organisers announcing a confirmed time should be that. If it turns out to be at murrayfield at a sensible time, it will be preferable and i’ll still be there. But your point about hearts confirming it is nonsense.
