Neil Doncaster and co

No bias towards the old firm...no sireee

Incredible.

Or fix the draw so that Rangers play Celtic and then there is no need to play both semi finals on the same day at Hamden.

No point sheep and hearts complaining about Doncaster's bias when they pay his wages. Surprising claim about LC semis needing played at Hampden, Tynecastle was used in 2016. Why sign a deal like that afterwards.

In the past professional footballers used used to play two games in two days on 1st and 2nd January but sadly today’s footballers cannot play two games in three days despite the modern football being very light weight compared to the heavy leather football used pre 1970’s and better pitches.

This is a poor decision and just shows a lack of concern for all the other football teams in Scotland. As long as the Glasgow OF are OK all will be right with Scottish football, that's the way it looks to me and I'd be very concerned that there will be policing issues and transport issues caused by this decision.

What annoys me is all the coverage has been about Celtic and rangers players/fans.

It's the hearts and dons fans who have lost out.

Dons have to set off middle of the night.

Hearts is probably even worse.

Pitch will be funny if it hoses down before and after the first game but luckily enough it never rains in Glasgow at the end of October.

The games should have went ahead as scheduled.....it's called the luck of the draw.

There is an easy way to stop this nonsense with the semi - finals.
Hearts and Aberdeen fans should boycott both games, that would force a change.
The views and opinions of Scottish football fans are totally disregarded at club level and national level.
If the hearts and Aberdeen fans voted with their feet, the powers at be would be forced into change.
The usual excuses would be trotted out, the clubs would lose money and jobs may be lost, but if you want changes, you must make sacrifices, otherwise the cycle goes on

Agree with you, but I think they’d just hand the tickets to the OF fans

It really is a joke....I hope they can force change.

Semis in the lc used to be two legs, not a bad idea but the old firm wouldn't be happy.

Smaller club's would still get a pay day.

Aberdeen fans were on a boot a sit in rather than a boycott but banners and chants would get the message across.

A wee reminder it's Scottish football and not old firm football.
