Cove_Sheep Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Finding the anger and rage for some of the more 'excitable' Aberdeen fans about this date highly amusing. Apparently it should have been played on the Scottish Cup weekend. Looking at Thistle's fixtures, that would have been a bit difficult seeing as they've got their rearranged fixture at Tynecastle already scheduled for that date.

Parklife Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Cheers. I'm too lazy to google It's probably the most convenient game for me to attend right now, due to where i'm working. So i will probably go, a wee day out in Glasgow on a saturday afternoon would've been better though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exglasgowasc Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Would it not have made more sense (if they ever wished to consider fans) (which they never do) to have perhaps had farts playing at home to Thistle on the Tuesday night and give Thistle a home Saturday game against Aberdeen on the 5th March? Or have Thistle already got a rearranged game on the Saturday? Parklife we can have a more sober version of Friday on the Tuesday though!!!

Jaggy Jim Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 1 hour ago, Cove_Sheep said: Celtic and The Rangers are both at home that weekend aren't they? Rangers at home at 12.30 on the Saturday, Celtic playing on the Sunday, so I assume that's why the Thistle v Aberdeen game is on the Tuesday rather than the Saturday. Thistle and Rangers regularly both play at home on a Saturday though so not sure it would have been a problem. It would seem to make more sense to have had Thistle v Aberdeen on the Sat and Hearts v Thistle on the Tuesday if you're taking the travelling fans into account, but this is the SPFL we're talking about. It would have been better for Thistle financially to have Aberdeen on the Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is true, that was how an English game was on last season. Was discussed on sportsound before Cup replays. Dont normally talk down Scottish football, but can't see sky picking it up.

Donaldo87 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ignore him he only ever seems to pop up to have a go at Motherwell. To clarify 1. Yes we should have been relegated 2. Yes we should have went bust 3. Yes our pitch was a disgrace for a good few seasons 4. Yes we shouldn't have been allowed to sign Craigan As you were.
