brunoatemyhamster Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 A situation that started because we all had to go out of our way to accommodate the bum cheeks European participation eventually reaches the correct conclusion , by putting Celtic 30 mins along the M8. Better sell out. Better pump them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the SFA have stepped back and organised dates, locations and kick off times that are fair, reasonable and equitable to all is worth appreciating Nah, **** it Doncaster OUT! SFA played their part in this too, if Doncaster is telling the truth that Hampden Park Ltd (SFA owned company) declined the original request to play one game away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...a bit disco Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The SPFL are to move the League Cup semi-final between Hearts and Celtic to Murrayfield after a rethink, STV understands. Originally, the two last four ties in the tournament were scheduled to take place at Hampden on Sunday October 28, with Rangers and Aberdeen kicking off at 12pm and Hearts taking on Celtic at 7.45pm in a bid to ease fixture conflict. But those plans were met with widespread criticism, with Hearts and Aberdeen voicing strong opposition against the plans. The disapproval eventually forced the SPFL to enter talks about moving one of the matches to an alternative venue on Tuesday. Those discussions have now resulted in a rethink of the schedule for the day. Hearts v Celtic is now pencilled in to be the early kick-off on Sunday October 28 at 1.30pm, with Rangers v Aberdeen switching to a later time of 4.30pm on the same day to accommodate. Initially, the two ties were scheduled for October 27 and 28 but tournament organisers were forced into as Rangers and Celtic are in Europa League action on the Thursday before the semi-finals. After a meeting with all four teams, the SPFL announced the decision to play both matches at the stadium on the same day was due to a contractual obligation with operators Hampden Park Limited. Aberdeen and Hearts both issued statements criticising the decision, stating that kick-off times would stop their supporters from attending the game. Hearts manager and director of football Craig Levein said the decision was "the craziest thing I've ever experienced in football", "just madness", "doesn't compute", "defies any sort of logic" and is "farcical". Scotrail revealed they had not been consulted over the decision after fans pointed out that the first train from Aberdeen to Glasgow on game day did not arrive until 15 minutes after kick-off. They said the scheduling posed them logistical problems but that they would try to adapt their services to help cover demand. On Monday, the Scottish Police Federation's general secretary Calum Steele described the scheduling as "idiotic". "Even if there was nothing else on that date, the police service is going to be run ragged," Steele said. "The most important thing to say is that in advance of the decision being announced, no discussions took place between the service and ourselves. The conversations that will follow will be tough indeed. "From a police service of over 17,000 officers, having two football matches on the same day is not something that's beyond our means but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a good idea to make it happen. "The one word that describes it best is just simply idiotic." Those calls have now been heard, with the SPFL ripping up their original plan. https://stv.tv/sport/football/1431545-spfl-to-move-hearts-v-celtic-semi-final-to-murrayfield/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidjamesbottle Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Kendoll said: To be honest, I'd rather we played at Hampden and the other was held at Murrayfield. It's a semi final and the day gets treated as such. The early rise, the beers before the M8, the few shandies before the stadium, and even though its a hole, being in Hampden, is all part of the occasion. Don't think its quite the same having a few pints in the Mill then walking to the stadium. Result is all that matters but purely selfishly, I'd rather go through there. tough !

The club is pleased that the concerns of all involved have been listened to and the new kick-off time is great news for all supporters, young and old. The SPFL has worked jointly with the clubs to address the supporter issues and to find a solution that will enable two major fixtures in the Scottish football calendar to be showcased in the best possible manner. Hearts would like to thank everyone involved over the last week for their willingness to consider alternatives. Now that the fixture has been set in stone we can start the process of allocating tickets to the supporters and making BT Murrayfield a sea of maroon for Craig and the team to walk out to, on what will be a truly special occasion for everyone associated with the club. https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-betfred-cup-semi-final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboGraham Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Once the whistle goes I don’t believe the venue will make any real difference to what happens on the park. However, this is all about marginal gains. Celtic will have a very set routine for Hampden, where they stay, how they travel, when they travel, where they get changed, for some players they probably have “their seat” in the Hampden dressing room. All of this changes, the players minds can’t switch off and go through the motions of another match at Hampden. It will be a different experience...it’s not a huge advantage to us but these small changes, these small extra thoughts all add up...

Plus Celtic have played at Hampden 8 times in the last 2 years to our none. Hope CL calls him out for this hypocrisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
