Morton May Have To Play Celtic Twice In 24 Hrs

Can I put in a special request that we win this in one go? I can't be bothered driving up the road three times in four days.

Did something similar not happen a number of years ago when we played Montrose (I think) in the Challenge Cup, If I remember right David Wyllie was sent off at Cappielow and possibly Andre Boe played the next night at Montrose, we won and that was the start of Boe's three game run.

 

Stato's feel free to correct

 

It was a Scottish Cup tie. We drew 1-1 on the Tuesday night and the replay was the night after. Wylie got sent off and John Anderson went in goals. We lost and it was fecking freezing.

MARTY OUT!!!!!

Wonder what the situation would be regarding entry to parkhead IF we managed a draw.There would be no time to organise tickets....so would it be free for all at the gate...?

Travel clubs would have to book buses in advance...then most likely cancel them,don't know if there would be a charge for this.

 

It's not ideal playing the replay the next night....can't imagine they would ever make celtic v rangers do this :angry:

 

 

Mags.

 

 

Blessings....not just for the one's who kneel....luckily.

Don't worry, the top bods will never make Celtic play on consecutive days.

 

Obviously they were supposed to play us on the Monday night (like we had to do with Gretna after the replay was called off) but there was no way Celtic were going to play Saturday, Monday with only a days rest.

 

On the Sabbath.

 

To give them time to pray ?

 

:blink:

Aint going to happen. In the unlikely event of a draw there is NO WAY we will play Celtic the next day.

These ties will be rescheduled for Monday 18th January. Clubs can request to play on Tuesday 19th should there be mitigating circumstances, however if the game is postponed again or should it result in a draw, then the postponement/replay date will be Wednesday 20th January.

 

Or does someone have insider knowledge that the SFA does not.

 

The scheduling change would have been done with the consent of GMFC, so it's not unfair on us at all actually. If we draw we can blame the idiot who sanctioned the move when our players are knackered at Porkheid.

The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before..

 

So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are

that would never happen cause they are not going to have a game postponed multiple times cause of a frozen pitch

 

and my understanding is the game could only move to Tuesday if the representatives of BOTH clubs agreed and committed to fulfilling the Wednesday replay date

 

so Celtic will have agreed cause they are calling the SFAs bluff cause they wil be assuming they win first time out and wont need to sort a wed game

as to our rep - either very sure of an upset and winning on the night, or does not see us having a chance of earning a replay :angry: so fine with a tuesday date anyone out to give us the best chance would have insisted on trying a Monday game

The relevant authorities are making arrangements to have the replay on the wednesday night!

Such tact! :lol:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they pretend to befriend you, then you win!
