The Naitch Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The semi finals are scheduled for October 12th so whoever draws Rangers will have a wait on their hands. Just as well the final isn't until April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 What a joke, date changed due to international call ups, only Sevco. So they need a full complement of about 40 to choose from to take on the might of East Fife(no disrespect). Embarrassing, very embarrassing.

thepundit Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not only is the postponement of this match embarrassing, but it has now be switched from a free Saturday to midweek in between two very important Championship games. The benefit of having a full squad is merely a consolation to now having to play 3 games in one week. What if Rangers drop points in the league because of this? Would having a full strength squad for a Challenge Cup game really have been worth it? Does McCoist believe the Rangers reserves can't get a win against East Fife? Is it really a must win game anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Baffling decision from Rangers. As thepundit says, Rangers are possibly putting Championship points in jeopardy just to eke out a % point or two more chance of victory in a game they're almost guaranteed to win. McCoist, you're a fucking idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 How many Rangers players are actually away this weekend? We can now confirm the 3rd round tie versus Rangers FC will take place on Tuesday 21st October 2014 CL night. Does that mean no TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You never know, we might end up with a bye if they go bust before then... Seriously though, why such a long delay? I can't believe there isn't another free date before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 How many players do Rangers have away on international duty? Zaliukas, Mohsni, Peralta, possibly Aird, Sheils and MacLeod. Worth cancelling a match against East Fife for? I'd say no. (with respect) I could still list a possible line-up and a full bench no problem.

HibeeJibee Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Seriously though, why such a long delay? I can't believe there isn't another free date before then. TV scheduling + "2 days rest". Again. Rangers v Hibs on Monday = write-off following midweek. Similar thing happened last month, Rangers on TV Sunday then Friday = write-off intervening midweek. However... obviously they decided not to play it on (say) Fri 26 Sep and postpone East Fife's league game, as they did to Clyde for Rangers R2 tie, tbf. That would also have allowed it on TV. Sat 06 Sep - international break Wed 10 Sep - international break Fri 12 Sep - Raith v Rangers Tue 16 Sep - Inverness v Rangers (LC R2) Sat 20 Sep - Alloa v Rangers Tue 23 Sep - (LC R3) Mon 29 Sep - Rangers v Hibs Wed 01 Oct - xxxxxxxxxx Sat 04 Oct - Livingston v Rangers Wed 08 Oct - international break Sat 11 Oct - international break / Cowdenbeath v Rangers Wed 15 Oct - international break Sat 18 Oct - Rangers v Raith Tue 21 Oct - East Fife v Rangers (CC R3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambuslang Fifer Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Having watched rangers play badly as they did last night against Hibs I have no fear playing rangers now. With us being the underdogs I still won't fear Moshni (likely to get booked anyway), Black and co. Still making the trip home feels like a cup final already no had one of them since the Robbo days where we were in the cup at Kilmarnock #bringItOn #MonTheFife #Welcome2Methil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Having Moshni away on international duty is a definite reason for Rangers to want to play that weekend. Seriously - an international class player??? However, you can see Rangers' point. They are pish and to play the game with a team that is even moderately weakened is a bit of a gamble. McCoist hardly needs any more bad results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east fife for life Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 £20 to get in. May as well give The Rangers 1800 tickets as going by the Fife fans I've spoken to there won't be many home fans in attendance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthefife Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Can't really blame the fans for not wanting to turn up for this one. Wouldn't want to be anywhere near that mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 With 60 mile per hour winds heading for the fife coast tomorrow afternoon I wonder if this game could be in danger of postponement. With our injury list might not be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
