I think it's fairly certain (if we beat Wigan!) that we'll play Liverpool on 6 or 7 May. When they squeeze in Sunderland and Villa is another matter as they seem determined not to let us play on March 18.

Nobody watches the SPL globally, go check the viewing figures.goater1978 said:Why can Celtic play a premier league game tonight? Surely if the English premier league can't be on the same night as the champions league the Scottish league should have the same rules?

I don't call that interesting. Be nice to get 9 points from those games though.Statt0 said:Vic said:I think it's fairly certain (if we beat Wigan!) that we'll play Liverpool on 6 or 7 May.

Would only prefer the Bindippers to be at the end of the season if we had a healthy lead at the top of the league.

Everton may have nothing to play for, and hopefully west ham are safe
( more likely) or are relegated by then. Liverpool is always a tough game. Hope there players take it easy ready for the world cup, and hope that they play Kolo. However, if we need a positive outcome, i am sure we will get it.

I think it will have to be a Monday match somewhere along the line. Like a Saturday(League)/Monday(Wigan)

Ha Ha it comes with years of being a blue, thinking of worst possible scenarios, although if we are 1 behind with 30 seconds left i would bite your hand of for a replay!

If we beat Wigan and Sunderland win their FA cup 6th round tie then us and the mackems are in exactly the same position with regards fitting in rescheduled games due to League cup,FA cup and the postponed match between us. If UEFA insist on their ridiculous rule of no clashes with CL nights, I could see a final week of Everton (a) Saturday 3rd May, Liverpool(a) Tuesday 6th May, Sunderland (h) Thursday 8th May and West Ham (h) Sunday 11th May as slotting the Sunderland game in there impacts on no other teams apart from ourselves and Sunderland who would also be playing 4 games in 8 days

If we get to fa cup semis as is likely then Liverpool away gets moved prob to 2nd last game of season. Possible title decider

There is nothing to stop City playing Saturday-Monday to accommodate the Villa or the Sunderland match most weeks in April even if there are Champions' League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday. That leaves two free mid-week slots in April and May to fit in the other match and the Liverpool fixture.

Any chance that you could throw in health and safety regulations, like there is in proper work, so that we are not allowed to play more than so many matches over a set period etc.
Because of the World Cup maybe we could play the remaining matches after that!

Re: Rearranged Fixture(s) vs. Sunderland & Villa (Edited)
Due to Sunday or Monday fixtures the only available Monday to play Sunderland in March or April is the 17th March just over a week after the FA cup 6th round; would Villa agree to play 2 games in 2 days when they can cite a couple of free weeks where they have no midweek fixture?
