NorthernLights Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Out tomorrow, but Nothsound "understands" we have the Jambos up here for a 3rd time and Hibs away for a 3rd time. I thought they didn't release them until after 33 games. Is the fact that everything has been decided with regards to who finishes in the top and bottom 6 means they are releasing them early this year?

Guest Nebitdag Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Apparently the SPL's options to get an even split of home and away games for everyone are... (i) Switch the fourth Embra derby from the Pink Bus Shelter to Easter Road (ii) Switch AFC's fixtures vs the Lithuanian State Circus and the Spare Ribs around so that we get the Champions' League winners within five years at home for the third time and Brazil 1970 away for the third time in Leith. Could work out well..............though the Tarts are actually better away from home this season. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-997
Proud9 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'd rather we had Hibs at home and Kaunas away, Feel much more confident goin to Tynecastle nowadays. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-998
Stewart Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'd rather we had Hibs at home and Kaunas away, Feel much more confident goin to Tynecastle nowadays. Agreed. Although Hibs haven't beaten us in the leage this season I'd be happier going to Tynecastle again than playing Hibs at Easter Road.

Guest The Angus Bull Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 By the time the split comes Hibs could well be in the cup final along with Celtic in which case they are already in Europe. Playing Hibs last would be good as they would probably rest a few players. The order in which the games are played could be important.

RnP Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hearts Rangers and Killie at Pittodrie Hibs and Celtic away Preferably in the following order Killie Hearts Rangers Hibs Celtic As Hibs and Celtic could have sewn up europe depending on the cup etc so a few rested players playing aginst us Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1002

Playing Hibs last would be good as they would probably rest a few players. Which would give their fringe players 1 last chance of forcing themselves into the Cup Final team, so could go either way.

Ajja Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I reckon after Hibs have won their game in hand and wiped the LSC away in the derby they will be our main challengers for 3rd. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1004
K-9 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I reckon after Hibs have won their game in hand and wiped the LSC away in the derby they will be our main challengers for 3rd. Could very well be. And don't discount Killie yet either. If they beat us at Rugby Park and win their game in hand they are only 5 behind us aswell as Hibs would be.

TheChimp Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Since naebody has stuck them up yet. Saturday 21/04/07 HOME vs Hibs 12:30 Live on Setanta Saturday 28/04/07 HOME vs Killie 15:00 Sunday 06/05/07 AWAY vs Hearts 14:00 Live on Setanta Saturday 12/05/07 AWAY vs Celtic 15:00 Sunday 20/05/07 Home vs Rangers 14:00 With the Jambos starting their top 6 fixtures away to the Huns and the Tims, we could be in beach gear bouncing beach balls around Tynecastle.

Penfold Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Only thing with these fixtures is that we must get it all tied up before or at Tynecastle. Yeh, the OF won't have much to play for but I still wouldnt be too confident of picking up points against them. Did we not have Celtic and Rangers in the last 2 games of the season that Livvy finished 3rd above us? Also nice to see Northsounds "understanding" was pish Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1011
RnP Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 With the Lithuanian State Circus (Gorgie Division) match being at the Bus Shelter do you reckon we wil get a bigger allocation this time since the rats are deserting ? Bloody hope so as I missed out on a ticket for the last game there Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1016
canderson72 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's a better split for the Dons than for hearts. Second place looks as if it's going to the Gers, but third place is a good bet. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1041

Guest swaddon Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I thought putting SPL fixtures on an Internet message board without a licence was illegal? On the subject of the games themselves, after yesterday's result, I'd be surprised if we keep third place, let alone challenge for second. I think a few of our players are thinking about their summer holidays already and not focusing on the football.

I'm with Swaddon on this one. After Saturday's performance and result I think we are going to throw it away.

Aberdeen_Ladette Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I work shifts, and since Post-Split fixtures were announced I have begged colleagues to swap, sweet talked boss, and before Hibs game I am working 9 shifts in a row to ensure I got to as many split games as possible. Already I am beginning to wonder why I bothered Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/67-post-split-fixtures/#findComment-1270
The Doricle Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Surely the very definition of a fitba fan is to be an eternal optimist. Especially if you're supporting the Dons and Scotland! If i wasn't an optimist I'd have stop going to pittodrie a good few seasons ago. It can still be done, but i sincerely hope saturday wasn't the sound of our bottle going. Yet again, we lost a game when it meant a lot, but so long as the tarts keep slipping up we're still in with a chance.
