Jambo in Bathgate Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 hours ago, Jamborose said: I think the draw will be before the game on monday night. it was before the airdrie game due to schedules in case the game goes to extra time and penalties It’s because of Viaplay. They want draw while they are still broadcasting. Hence why it took place after Celtic game in last round. BBC provide the camera and Sutherland.

periodictabledancer Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 32 minutes ago, Tommy Brown said: If we were drawn a home, would so many be moaning about a Monday night. I will admit I don't travel anymore, but went to plenty midweek games at Ayr, Morton, Dundee Aberdeen in my day Midweek football is all part of the game. Just be glad you font follow an English club to away midweek fixtures. Not unless you face a 90 min drive through the rush jour traffic in Glasgow, no.

Jambof3tornado Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 6 hours ago, Wee Mikey said: We certainly will. But, have you seen the photo on the Hearts web-site? Can you even imagine what it could be like should it be a wet & windy night? Our away end at Thessanoliki was a death trap, but at least it was still 20 odd degrees come end of play. https://gmfc.net/general-manager-stadium-update/ Info here on arrangements for the motherwell game,which made allowances for fans in uncovered areas squeezing into covered area in the event of rain,hence capacity well down on the 11k. Motherwell got 3k I think so pretty sure we wont take much more than that given the timing of the game so if you want a ticket you should get one.

alicante jambo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 2 hours ago, Luckies1874 said: This is far far from a Scottish football thing. Every major footballing nation sees games on any and all nights of the weeks these days. In England the Fifth round of the FA Cup are being played Monday-Wednesday and in Spain, Germany and France cup ties have been getting played on every day of the week. The tv companies dictate everything. Fair enough pal will take your word for it but the pittance we get from the tv companies surely isnt worth the inconvenience to the fans.

Sums up the logic of idiot or idiots in charge then again it is another one of petes pals that ***** from alloa mulraney the celtic supporting sfa el presidente. They come from all over Scotland and some of them need to take the ferry over. Not convenient for them on a Monday. It shows how easily some fans have been brainwashed into thinking it's ok to mess with the punters who actually show up and pay good money for travel and tickets, that they don't see anything wrong with a quarter final cup tie not being scheduled for a weekend, which could have included the Friday evening for one of the ties. Midweek for a replay, or a rescheduled postponement, is an entirely different matter That old greetin' face, Jim McLean, was right all those years ago, when he said that being too reliant on tv money would result in the broadcasters dictating kick off times, to the detriment of the fans who go to games.

What does Viaplay actually deliver except OF content? I agree but the situation isn't unique to Scotland. Not one game in the next round of the FA Cup is at the weekend and Maidstone's reward for getting so far is a Monday night game over 100 miles away, around London, in Coventry. Fans attending matches in plenty of countries and competitions are down the list of "stakeholders", been like that for years (iirc, we had a 9pm kick off against Stuttgart, for German tv). I'm not defending our football authorities, just highlighting that they aren't the only ones who don't seem to care about the fans.
