The SPL seems to be making a habit of it and now the French have joined in, do marseille have an off too? Why dont we save our lads the trip down to reading and just play them later in Jan.

 

This is absolutely ridiculous imo, how is this allowed by Uefa is beyond me.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

To be fair to the SFA, it's not very often they can have not one but potentially both of their teams through to the knockout stages. I understand their logic. The FA don't have the same problems as they have - our teams are expected to progress, as a rule.

 

I still hope both Rangers and Celtic get stuffed, btw.

[lfc4eva99]

I understand, but if you let one association do it, you cant prohibit another, Lyon 5 straight league titles wasnt it? now they have a weekend off as well, whose to say they wont do it again if they draw us in the knockouts?

 

This needs to be stopped right at the start before we see AC Milan canceling a Serie A game at home due to their atrocious home form to make sure the lads are fit and rested for a crunch away tie....

[Red Nick]

it seems silly we've got a weeks rest and then only 4 days before a big crunch game.

 

We should get Sky to organize a thursday kick off and televise it

[Boom Boom]

Wonder did the SFA offer Celtic a postponement of last Satuday's fixture? :D By the way, I think the matches should be played when they're fixed, just leads to more congestion ( and possibly more injuries ) later on in the season. Seems to me to be a bit smalltime, I can never remember, although I'm open to correction, any English club ever doing it.

We will beat Reading and Marseille, so it doesn't really matter.

Loving the confidence Cain.

Resting players doesn't always work - what better way to warm up than to thrash Reading? Anyway, we have rotation..

[Sponky]

With the way we are playing at the moment, the last thing we need is a break. The players look hungry for goals & i don't think the games can come quick enough for the players.

England had a month off before the last world cup as well

agreed..........should`ve done the business when we played them at home and the turks away....then we would`nt be worrying :|

[Red '84]

i thought it was ludicrous that it was allowed happen when scotland rested up before the italy game and i still do, surely they must have laws against this type of thing.

if we were allowed do it, we'd probably only get to play 20 games a season, but we'd win all of them because of our preparation.

[WeAreTheBest]

They've only got fucking Gretna. Their under 9s would batter them.

That's what I thought. Rangers have a half decent squad this season and could have made about 7 or 8 changes and still battered Gretna and it's not as there was a lot of travelling involved. It's only 35 minutes on the bus to Fir Park.

 

I think this more a case of Rangers calling in a favour for postponing the game against St. Mirren the weekend before the Scotland v Italy game.

Very good, this ought to have an commercial effect on the tv companies, hope action is taken now....

[Carradona]

The Celts didn't need a break, so I don't see why Rangers should need one. Away to Milan is a much tougher game than home to Lyon (regardless of how shit Milan have been in the league this season).

[lfc4eva99]

and it seems in the last link on BBC that Lyon dont have an off, contrary to what was published earlier.

 

Lets hope for a Celtic win and a Lyon win tonight then :) or maybe a Celtic draw :D

[Carradona]

The Lyon game is next week. Only the games from Celtic's group are played tonight due to Milan having to go off to the World Club Championships soon.

[lfc4eva99]

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
