shull Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Why the hell do we persist in playing our Beautiful Game all through the winter months ? Bloody lunancy, especially matches scheduled for midweek nights. Great weather here now and we dinnae have a Match till July. Football fans buying replica tops probably only got wearing them a couple of times. F*cking joke. Quote

insaintee Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Listening to ICT V Dundee United, I could not help think what a great night to watch football. The solution is easy. Have football all year round Quote

Sonny Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Only have matches played depending on the weather forecast and play when the sun is shining, there is no wind and a temperature for t-shirts. I look forward to my cheap two match season ticket (assuming I am not doing something better in decent weather) Quote

All correct but we in this country still think we are still a force in European fitba Diddy leagues play summer fitba that's the way of thinking If the gruesome twosome ever leave it will be summer fitba Quote
Scotland Posted May 8, 2016 Report Posted May 8, 2016 I'd love to see summer football but how would we schedule around World Cups, Euros, etc? Also, how do Irish clubs fare in Europe if the seasons don't overlap? Quote
shull Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Posted May 8, 2016 World Cups ?? Euros ?? It's Scotland Football Club we're talking about Quote
Scotland Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 World Cups ?? Euros ?? It's Scotland Football Club we're talking about Aye, fair point, although those are the arguments that would need to be answered. Quote
oaksoft Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 I'd love to see summer football but how would we schedule around World Cups, Euros, etc? Also, how do Irish clubs fare in Europe if the seasons don't overlap? You play a few midweek games during the rest of the season to create a gap. Quote
nosferatu Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) We're actually still in the season just now... Last Premiership games during the week, play off going on just now, cup final still to come. "summer football" would entail starting in January and finishing in December. You'd have the possibility of key end of season games, play offs, cup finals, etc, being postponed. You'd have the possibility of games at the start of the season being postponed. You'd miss out on games being played during Xmas and new year which traditionally draw big crowds. The idea is ridiculous. The clubs know it's ridiculous as well, hence why it'll never ever happen.
