    Maybe tomorrow?

    The horse trading between the SPFL and the TV companies seems to be adding to the delay in announcing the split fixtures.

    What chance of an announcement on Wednesday.

    MFC have changed the date of the Sponsor's Dinner due to "unforeseen circumstances". It was scheduled for Sun 17 May & it's now on Sun 10 May. Could we have a game on the 17th?

    Reports suggest they can't agree fixtures with broadcasters/Cops, which is SP(F)L lingo meaning they can't agree their butts from their elbows. The teams were decided by 5pm sat, no one should be remotely surprised by the incompetence from this bunch of highly paid buffoons. As if **** isn't bad enough?
    Ross county and thistle away, Collum and Thompson as the refs just to send me over the feckin edge :-)

    I'm not usually one to support the SPFL over fixtures lists Andy but in terms of the timing I think they're relatively innocent. The guilty parties will be the Police, who because of reduced budgets will be externalising their problems and the TV companies who will be haggling with each other. The SPFL will be caught in the middle. Its the Tv companies and police who need to get their acts together - the interests of the fans and clubs don't come into it.

    Where I might take issue with the SPFL is the balance of home and awa

    Yep I agree, the cops and tv mobs will be at the heart of the delay, but ultimately it's the spfl that look like the useless muppets as they are held accountable for fixtures. Just frustrating bud, they do seem to make a Noel Hunt of everything. It doesn't leave fans a lot of time to get organised work/travel wise. Need to learn some patience supose :-)
    Also agree we will no doubt be shafted, Dingwall on a Friday night...with Collum as ref!
