Finlay21 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I would think around 26/27 November , first free midweek after original date ,that’s only my view , not sure what the rule is though , I believe if we request it can still be refused by SFA , but feel if we apply rescheduling would be granted Edited October 31, 2019 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 When would we need to apply to reschedule the game by? Surely soon if the game is in 2 weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an SPFL game and the right to postpone for 3 call ups is enshrined in their rules and cant be refused. That said, as I already pointed out, technically none of the players called up are unavailable on the Saturday. Their international call ups end at 10pm or thereabouts on the Friday night. I presume however that a practical approach would be taken and Ayr would be allowed a postponement if they want it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFL yes correct , believe it or not but the SFL could refuse the postponement, unlikely but the option is there ,as for finishing at 10pm the night before do you honestly think a player should be available to play for his club the afternoon following an international match Club shall be entitled to apply to the Board for the postponement of any Official Match where three or more of its Players who would otherwise have participated in such match are unavailable through international selection and, following receipt of such an application, the Board may postpone and rearrange the relevant match They look at previous squads and if one of the players picked by international team are not regular in squad they may not allow postponement, luckily for us all 3 play regular Edited November 1, 2019 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 If the Dunfermline game is rescheduled we will have two weeks without a game as the following week is Scottish Cup weekend which we are not involved in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that would be really good for us , gets a couple of players back to 100% fitness and gives new management team some valuable time with players 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice they will postpone it if three players are unavailable and a club asks. They've postponed games before because youth players who have a first team number but never actually play were unavailable (see Rangers getting games off when Jordan Thompson and others were called up for N Ireland u21s). What I "think" is irrelevant. I've already said that in practice I'm sure a postponement would be granted if requested. I was just pointing out that technically they won't be unavailable as they'll have been released from International Duty by the time of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 So have the BBC jacked the Friday night games i take it since tonight is the last scheduled one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The contract is for a certain number across the season, so they're probably just having a break. EDIT: In fact, the Dundee derby is on BT next Friday, there's not a full card the following weekend due to the Challenge Cup, and there's the Scottish Cup game on the following weekend. So I guess it's just about possible that they could still announce one for the 29th. Edited November 1, 2019 by craigkillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Okay didn't realise that, just presumed the contract was to show a game every Friday night of the season. Does anyone think this might mean BT will stick their noses in on other games apart from the Dundee derby before Christmas, would still be amazed if our game away to Dundee United on the 21st December ain't on the TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All games on BBC clubs get 4 weeks minimum notice and I know we have not been notified yet , likely clubs will know next week of next round of games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
