    thats it spot on

    its the reverse of common sense the spl have come up with here

    we are the away team in europe on the thursday the huns are at home
    we have to play earlym the huns play later so have more time to recover from thursday night
    they play in their home city we play in an away city

    its as if the * in charge were wired up wrong

    I'd rather play at murryfield it's better than hamdump. It's the way they've done it. Earlier kick off, more travelling, no draw. Just give the disadvantage to celtic as much as possible. This season has been the most blatantly biased in years.

    Come kick off none of us will be too bothered about it.

    But it’s quite right that we’re raging the way it has came about. Unbelievable.

    Makes you question how they go about creating fixture lists for the league.

    - That’s the fixture finalised, well done chaps
    - Can we swap those ones and make them play that one then instead, and maybe make that lot play away that week instead and then we can move that kick off, and make that one a Friday night, then those games can stay there and the other ones can be moved and that way logic can get to * and people will be none the wiser?
    -
    Why’s that then?
    - Just coz
    -
    Makes perfect sense, ok, done.

    It just makes me more certain that SFA are afraid of Celtic. Don't want them winning doubles and trebles every year. Over the previous 4 seasons we have won 9 of 12 trophies. Over 2 a season and they don't like it that Rangers have not challenged

    was looking at our financial figures yesterday and it brought up all this sorry saga back to the forefront in my mind, the amount of money we were cheated out of from their industrial cheating

    surely we should have made a bigger deal out of this and since we are a stock market listed company ? (well i think we are) not just the clubs financials and success the fans robbed of potential success but the shareholders were also deprived of dividends

    under all them circumstances i dont know how there wasn't a lawsuit of the football authorities never mind sevco/rangers

    We played as many times at hampden last year as hearts did at Murrayfield, plus they were absolutely * there, the idea that hearts have some sort of advantage playing there is nonsense.

    i'll remember this next time your on bumping your gums......yet to see anyone on here that hasn't to be honest!!!

    I couldn't give a * the location of the actual venue and good luck luck to those guys who it suits on a personal level...suits them more than the club imo!!!

    The point is the club have said it is an irrational decision so we're asking the question what the rational behind it was given that it * us (and it does) more than any other club. * me the late Hampden option on a probable ploughed field was better than this!!

    It's HOW they cam to the decision...it's not * hard!!!

    That's me done on it......i''m pissedright off with them....but if you're ok with this don't come again bleating when that excuse of a governing body come and shaft us again and again because it's only the Tims and they'll roll over!! * this man!!

    Coming out and saying it’s impossible to change from Hampden, announcing a fixture, giving our fans 8 days to prepare for a 7:45 kick off in Glasgow when we have fans coming from all over not just Glasgow then changing their minds and it never being any other option but to disrupt our travelling fans is very irrational.

    I genuinely cannot wait for this game..

    Despite it being stuck in between a big European away game..

    I hope we don't just beat these *, but rip them to shreds so they're petrified of the hammering they take when we take top spot the week after..

    I have very little interest in the Europa League if I'm being honest.

    This is the game I'd looking forward to most.

    Like you, I want to absolutely * violate them.

    I want it to be so humiliating and traumatizing that they completely collapse and are lying in 8th come March.

    Same for Sevco in the final.

    I do have an interest to be fair but the head says we won't qualify above Salzburg or Leipzig..

    As for the rest, I'm with you brother :brendy:
