3 weeks back end of Nov/Dec and almost a 3 week break in November......that's No great planning.

You surprised at the poor planning / lack of thought?

home to Motherwell
home to St J
away to Rangers
away to Ross county
away to Hibs
home to Hearts

Why do we have runs of 3 games awy and 3 games at home? Is this what the clubs want? game before the Motherwell game is Celtic at home.

The Hibs game was moved from 20th November to December as a result of Hbs playing their League Cup semi final tie on the same weekend as they were due to play us at Easter Road.
That being said I think that it is crazy that the SPFL have drawn up the fixture list with Premier League playing five games in the month of December, an expensive time of year when people are busy buying Christmas presents.
The SPFL should forget about the Premier League mid season break and play the league games every weekend in December and January apart from when Scottish Cup ties are played which happens in the three other SPFL leagues.
The mid season break disrupts things for both the players and supporters.

That is the problem of using a computer to draw up the fixture list.
There is a well known saying “If you put rubbish in you get rubbish out”.

If the Hibs game on Saturday 20th November had not been moved to Tuesday 14th December three games at home followed by three games away would never have happened.
The original fixture lis published before the start of this season was
Celtic (H) 6th November, which was moved 7th November due to Celtic playing in the Europa League.
International break 13th November
Hibs (A):20th November
Motherwell (H) 27th November
St Johnstone (H) 1st December
Rangers (A) 4th December
Ross County (A) 11h December
Hibernian (A) 14th December- rearranged from 20th November
Hearts (H) 18th December
Aberdeen (A) 26th December
Livingston (A) 29th December.
I thought that posters would have been complaining when the fixture list was published about us having two lots of away games in December with only the home game against Hearts in between but nobody on any of the forums has posted a comment about it.
This never used to happen in the 1960’s and 70’s before the SPFL acquired a computer to draw up their fixture list for each season

Nearly Islay it's actually GIGO; garbage in, garbage out.

The person who originally told me the saying said “rubbish in, rubbish out”:
Your saying is an American term as they speak about Garbage.

3 week break a bit of a joke, you'd think we would be kicking off a bit about this but I just don't think as a club we are savvy enough, county rearranged date with hibs much more preferable, don't understand why they got that date and we never, our game was cancelled first.

I think we are short on back office staff who should be picking up this sort of issue.
