baker.simon Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 To be fair, the fixtures need looking at! You have had 15 days without a game previously, unless it was international week! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yep I posted something like this a few days ago when I had 4 games in a week,very harsh and had to use quite a few reserves has my players were shattered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme355 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 no excuses we were not good enough in the end just pointing out it happens in Scotland cause the SPL will do nothing to help its teams. ohh And this year is far from over yet :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianQuinn Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Your right there , both celtic and rangers are really bad right now and lots of teams are capable of taking points off them. But the point of the thread is , 2 games in 2 days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme355 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 yeh i had this as well in my rangers game also had to play a SC replay on a international night. I agree the 2 days is a bit much even for the SPL but it would not surprise me if they did it irl so cant say i find it unusual in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add insult to injury both the games are away fixture's,so basically after the Dunfermilne game>shower>dress>on the bus>of to Perth.

daylight Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think with those fixtures and the sometime erratic injuries Gary Glen could have a few player's to keep him company in the stands as I am sure you will have to play player's that are nowhere near 100%.

Barkermush Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I had a game on Saturday, Then Monday, Then Wednesday then Saturday with Darlington in League 2. As you can imagine League 2 players stats are not that good including stamina. By wednesday game they was mostly 47% haha got beat 4-0. Was mad at the time, it was a while ago around Xmas time in the game so i laugh about it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
