McFootSoldier Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 14 minutes ago, Tartan_McCole said: The fans? Can't speak for all, but I don't think they were overly chuffed. They agreed with most others opinions that it seemed like a stupid effing idea. Had the possibility of this been planned for, and Murrayfield been sought out as the host for one of the semi finals, then nobody would have been complaining. I think Brendan said something along the lines of its not ideal but we will get on with it, good games to look forward to etc. Don't remember any club statements condeming it but maybe did ?

Scotland Ever More Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 27 minutes ago, Tartan_McCole said: The SPFL have to be allowed to make decisions? Really? They did make a decision. The decision was stupid, but their decision was to play two games at Hampden. It wasn't accepted by Hearts and Aberdeen who raised a complaint about it. It has now been changed. I think Celtic have reasonable grounds to state they are unhappy with the change. Don't you know that it's only Celtic who aren't allowed to be happy with decisions on here? The Teuchter teams can cry all they like and it's justified and done in the name of fairness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really understanding why Celtic would have a problem with this new decision, they are not in anyway disadvantaged by this new and much better outcome. Most of the annoyance is coming from the shambles of a process as opposed to the actual decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT - to clarify, I can see why a draw for venues would be requested but its not a necessity here. Celtic weren't very vocal when Aberdeen and Hearts were set to be disadvantaged but now when its all neutral they have a problem.

slasher Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) To be fair Celtic didn't seem terribly interested in the due process when the original announcement was made now they're suddenly all over it. By the same token the sheep and diets are now disinterested in the process because the new arrangement suits just fine. Hypocrisy from all three if you ask me. In the meantime amidst all the bickering the huns sit quietly on the sidelines largely unaffected. A fact which seems lost on nearly everyone else! Regardless of the rights and wrongs of it all Doncaster has to go when the dust settles. Edited October 4, 2018 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fact which seems lost on nearly everyone else! That is true, they were probably the only ones who were relatively happy with both arrangements and never seemed to be under any threat of being inconvenienced at all.

Ormond Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 3 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: Celtic might actually score more than 1 goal into Rugby goals too. Hearts being hammer throwers is a bit OTT, they certainly played more football at Rugby Park than Celtic have the past twice they've been. They've also managed to score double the amount of goals Celtic have this season. 99% of Macy’s posts are fishing for a bite. There’s no credence in them at all.

Yup, it did 👍🏼 My point however was that I cannae mind any hullabaloo over this venue, was there? Good to see some clubs now standing up against all this pish - Stevie Clarke, Aberdeen/Hearts etc. Hopefully it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(6) Regardless of the rights and wrongs of it all Doncaster has to go when the dust settles. It's not ideal for us at all. Anytime on a Sunday isn't if it involves c.6 hours travel. We'd also prefer a truly neutral stadium too. 'Our' processes in general are embarrassing, frustrating, and entangled in lies. One final point (I don't think it was yourself who highlighted it though), I actually understand why BR / The Tims feel fecked off with the (Non transparent) decision too. That said, further semi finals / finals at Hampden, for the same reasons, require identical scrutiny (Fairness). EG Ends, Dressing Rooms etc...
