If you read Post number 5 your will read that my comment was still to do with this topic but you chose to completely drag it ‘off topic’.
However I am not going to sit back a let a ‘know all’ dictate to me just because they prefer using an American term for rubbish.
Too many British words are being Americanised.
There are bunkers in golf courses throughout the U.K. but the golf commentators on the BBC and Sky Spirts will persist in quoting the American term calling it a trap.
Aaahhh of course, post number 5 where you stated there was a well known saying 'rubbish in, rubbish out' which had little, if anything, to do with the OP which was about the ridiculous upcoming scheduling of games.
I of course simply pointed out to you that the well known saying is in fact 'garbage in, garbage out' at which point you went off on one.
It had plenty to do with the topic.
We never had this problem playing two games at Home followed by two games away from home when the fixture list for the next season was dawn up by hand.
We used to be playing at home one Saturday and playing away from home the next Saturday. I have previously carried out my own research after a previous topic on a Dundee FC forum raised the problem of us playing two League games at home with the next two League games being played away from home.
I checked the book ‘They Wore the Dark Blue’ which lists the team and the date that every League fixture was played in every season up to the date the book was published with separate sections for cup games and friendlies.
Occasionally we played two games at home on successive Saturdays in a season but nothing like as often as nowadays since the SPFL started compiling their annual fixture list using their computer.
I can understand it being a bit more complicated drawing up the SPFL fixture list if Dundee and United are playing in different SPFL leagues but this season they have no excuse as Dundee and United are both playing in the Premier League.
How does this fiasco continually happen season after season.
Internet forums are part of the problem.
In the past Football supporters would write to the Letters Page of national or local newspapers highlighting this problem and the sports staff employed by the newspapers would contact the management of the Scottish League (pre SPFL) to highlight this problem.
Now few people write letters to newspapers preferring to raise their concerns on the Facebook page of these newspapers or highlighting the problem on forums like Dundee Mad or Pravda (aka the Dark Blues Forum).
As a result the management at the SPFL never receive complaints about their fixture list and they think that the supporters of every SPFL member club is happy with the current fixture list.
I give up
