ian1964 10,410 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 In October 2013 the SFA decided to hold both Scottish Cup Semi Finals at Ibrox as an alternative to Hampden Park, which is being used for the Commonwealth Games. If Rangers reach the Semi Finals they would be handed a home tie. In the interests of the other quarter finalists, the SFA should use Parkhead for one of the Semi Finals if required. http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/the-scottish-football-association-ensure-neutral-venues-for-the-2014-scottish-cup-semi-finals?recruiter=11614349 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,153 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Five signatures there. Two Aberdonians, one from a wee village in the Dons' hinterland, one Raith - what's he doing there? - and one other of dubious origin trying in an oppressive and bigoted way to undermine people's rights to be heard. In fact the petitioners make a reasonable point. In the grand old days of yore the venues were not allocated until the teams were known. If Rangers were involved the venue was Hampden the other tie going to Ibrox or on rare occasions the Stadium of Blight. Simples. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,487 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What about the two Finals getting played at Parkhead! Good job Celtic wont be in either of them Makes you laugh so it does! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,240 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Meanwhile in Bizarro World ... was an article on that topic as well. Aptly named. Would somesuch have been done if the Yahoos had not managed to bow out of both of their cup competitions? (Though I do reckon that there are enough "loonies" amongst our support who would have cried foul too.) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Unbelievable. If Celtic were still in the cup there is no way this petition would have been seen. Whilst I agree that semi finals and finals should be at a neutral ground it has to be decided at the start of the tournament not when Rangers are 90 minutes and Albion Rovers away from reaching a semi. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,240 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 BTW, why is Murrayfield constantly overlooked? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 BTW, why is Murrayfield constantly overlooked? Most likely the overall cost. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,329 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 They would have a lot more credibility if they started this while Celtic were still in the cup and included the final in their petition. It's now just seen for what it is - a lot of bitter haters complaining because of the likelihood of it being of benefit to us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
