Quote mystic eddie="mystic eddie"Utter utter ball cocks. Do you actually have a clue what you are talking about?
They were not bothered about fixture pile-ups when they pointlessly cancelled a game v Gretna so that they could prepare for their Champions League match v Lyon (where they got horsed). The extra fixture they faced due to their inability to beat the mighty Partick Thistle in the cup (AT HOME!).
The league should never have been extended and to blame the SFA is a complete joke.'"
Indeed.
The extension was something they should never have got in the first place. The SFA actually bent over backwards to help them.
They cancelled the Gretna game needlessly as you say, they drew cup games, they refused to fit those delayed games at times that didn't suit them, then they expected everyone to happily tag two weeks on the end of the season just to suit them. The pile up was at least partly due to their own choice.
At the end of the day though, the UEFA Cup run has probably cost them the title. All that fuss about their great day out and it's cost them both the league and their reputation!
It really couldn't have worked any better if I'd scripted it myself.
Wel, it could, defeat by Queen of the South tomorrow!
