C4mmy31 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Why don't Accies wanna play us? For those not twitterized..... Steve Clarke has expressed his frustration at Kilmarnock's two January midweek postponements after revealing the club's request to face Hamilton next week had been turned down. Killie hoped December's rearranged Premiership match could take place in the final days of January with Accies seeing their match with St Johnstone cancelled due to Scottish Cup replays. Having lost home games against Saints and Dundee due to cup clashes, Clarke had aimed to fill the time with another league match before facing league leaders Celtic. With the request turned down by Hamilton, Clarke was asked if he was worried about the fixture backlog. He said: "Not having the St Johnstone game is OK – but to lose the Dundee game too is what frustrates me. "It's a situation that could be easily avoided by having just one replay date and everybody should play on it. "Then we wouldn't have the situation where we have lost two league games to cup replays. "Fixture congestion is now something that concerns me because our game at Hamilton was called off last month so we now have three fixtures to fit in. "There is already a midweek schedule for the end of February – we play Hearts on a Tuesday night – then there is a two-week international break. "Then these three postponed games will need to be put in before the split. It's a little bit troubling that we don't have dates for them. "I believe we asked Hamilton to play next week because their game against St Johnstone has been called off. But Hamilton didn't want to play which I find strange, but there you go. We'll just need to find the dates and squeeze the games in as we can. "Whoever schedules the matches needs to have a good look at how this happens. The SFA and the SPFL have to come together and work out the best way to fit these fixtures in. Certainly one replay date would save some confusion." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmcc Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I really dont think it should be up to the other team to be honest. The SPFL need to independently judge this, and if the proposal makes sense then it should just be f**kin played! We're basically at the mercy of the opponent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie lad Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I'm not one for saying I want accies to get relegated for their support or what they bring to the league etc but I am very much taking up the position of get that tinpot club to f**k. Also, having 2 separate weeks for the SC fixtures when there are other games to be played is just dumb as s**t.

Squirrelhumper Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 That club are run by c**ts, supported by c**ts (all 5 of them) and their players are c**ts. Sooner they are relegated the better. Only decent thing about Hamilton is the fact you can booze in Glasgow until 215 then get a train straight to the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1el Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Again it sums up the incompetence of the top brass running football in this country, Accies shouldn't have the option to turn it down. It should be the next free midweek from the postponed fixture, both teams play , end of story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 It's not a game of five a sides. It shouldn't be a case of picking up the phone and asking another club "fancy a game?" Surely there's someone at the top who decides if you have a fixture and it's as clear cut as that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 This just cements the theory that they didn't want to play us in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiekosmos Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Accies are at it. It is in their interests to force a backlog of fixtures on other teams in the hope that it helps them out. The way they are selling players during the window, maybe they don't have enough left to play a match :-) SPFL should step in and force postponed games to be played at first available time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what "representations" did Hamilton make that the SPFL decided were worth taking into account...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme S Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Given that Accies are out the cup and have no game on Saturday 10th Feb they must be available for a game next midweek? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Take it there is still no update on new dates for any of our "postponed" games? Surely the SPFL should have taken action by now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKtid Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hamilton are reducing their prices to £10 for adults and £5 for under 18s and over 65s for the reorganised game from December. Decent. Still not date though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent. Still not date though It's the least they should do. They made no real effort to get that pitch playable and some fans who were on holiday between Christmas and New Year won't be able to make the revised date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
