The Apprentice Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Looks like Dunfermline's game away to Morton tomorrow has been called off and is being re-scheduled for Tuesday night instead. Should probably state for the avoidance of doubt we are supposed to be playing Dunfermline on Tuesday. Quote
Hungry hippo Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Yeah, looks like our game must need to be rearranged. Be surprised if we don't get an update from Hearts soon. Quote
Berra than you Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Typical that the one year we get terrible weather in January is the one year there is no winter break Quote
TyphoonJambo Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Too many tinpot tuppeny happeny teams in our half assed set up. Quote
MarkDevriesScores4 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Would have thought league games would be priority? what a shambles Quote
William H. Bonney Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Surely they could arrange us to play dunfermline tomorrow Quote

kingantti1874 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Bad in one way but will give time to ensure Ginelly and Boyce fit I suppose and GMS integrated Quote

stuart500 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 So we might play our cup tie on Tuesday assuming we know our opponents? Quote

We won't know our opponents as their game has already been postponed again. Makes this decision bizarre as they could surely have had us and Dunfermline playing our SC games another time. Instead they now need to find space for us to play in the Cup and to play Dunfermline in the league. Quote

It's just not often it impacts games involving the bigger sides especially as Championship teams don't normally even enter at this stage. Quote

neilnunb Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Can just see it now... Dundee win their next 2 league games and go above us, meanwhile Hearts have about 4 games in hand due to postponements/playing cup games. Season ended, League call the season on current standings, Nelms sends a big 'no hard feelings Ann' and our pal Doncaster self combusts as he thrashes himself away. 😐🤔🤭 Quote

Wilson Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 The league is priority, and may well not get completed. The Cup has dangers with playing part time clubs with no testing. There is an increasingly strong case for withdrawing from the Cup. Quote

neilnunb Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Looks like Raith v Dundee is also off that night as Raith playing their cup tie. Losing track of it all. Quote
Blackshades Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 The problems started when the league began late in October .it should have started in August when the premiership started a second wave of covid was always coming and now the whole season is a shambles and we will be really lucky if it gets completed Quote

Hungry hippo Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I think it was a crazy decision to make the Championship teams enter a round earlier than usual this season. Quote
Niemi’s gloves Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 1 hour ago, stuart500 said: Yeah hopefully. Probably a Camelon win would suit us better than a long trip north. Agreed but if Brora win on Monday, is there a possibility that our game there would be rescheduled for next Saturday (at the expense of our game away at Alloa)? Not on top of the rules but in previous seasons I think teams got to play replays on Saturdays if they were a long distance apart. Quote
jambostuart Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Nonsense decision, especially as it's looking potentially likely football will be stopped, even if it's just non elite football. As we know there is precedent for having games in hand due to cup ties with Partick's issues last season Quote

It's how hibs/ St Johnstone switched places iirc as well. Quote

tynewater Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Oh well, we're getting a winter break after all. If we can get a few injuries cleared up, it will be to our advantage in the long run. Quote
Forrest Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Pretty sure no football manager would be happy playing an important league game with less than 24 hours' notice... Although it seems to make sense to us, there's no way it would happen. Quote

ramrod Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Dundee could now go 2 pts behind us on Tuesday night . Shows how we've opened the door to them after that horror show last weekend . Its definitely game back on now with regards to the league . Quote

All Tuesday’s Scottish Championship games have now been cancelled, in Dundee’s case because their scheduled opponents (Raith Rovers) have a cup game postponed from today. Quote
ramrod Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Never realised that ,that's def a good thing from our point of view Quote
