Ped Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Doesn't each leagues match secretary not issue fixtures so no team can hand pick games, or mabye southside requested games to get suspension etc out the way for semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auld yin wae knowledge Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ped you are exactly right, when I was match secretary and one of our clubs reached the later stages of the Scottish / West I would speak to them to agree dates of games before " the big match" but I would never allow them to pick the opposition. Could rodger the dodger post refer to St Pat's fixture by any chance ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbarton82 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Would the league and match secretary not want to give their member clubs best chance of getting to a major final by giving them a free weekend before a semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be a double edged sword at times right enough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbarton82 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Get what your saying now disco30... personally I would prefer my squad to have a good rest before a big semi and not being put in danger of injury just to free up 1/2 players of a suspension. Suppose each team will have own thoughts on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDodger Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 All clubs should be treated the same you are correct but on this occasion it seems that they have not! Both teams are playing catch up in their leagues but only one of them is issued with fixtures, just seems rather strange to me.

BigBo10 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Years ago my team were asked to play on a Monday night to allow a Scottish cup semi finalist to free up players who were suspended otherwise. While we played the game the squad for the semi trained. We were happy to help. The association were happy to allow it and they had a full squad for their semi. It's not always as it seems.

dumbarton82 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I am sure match secretary's will try to accomodate teams in latter stages of the semis as much as possible. Would think it would be up to teams whether they want a fixture the weekend before a semi. Anyway... good luck to all 4 sides involved and hopefully get 2 cracking ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
