Tin hat on here but that fire alarm incident could be the turning point in our season. Straight swap stokes for Allan and we look like a better team. And one of our largest earners is also off the wage budget

Totally agree a ridiculous fixture list. Not only that but we have celtic, sevco and Aberdeen in our first five games after the break. We've done brilliantly to pick up so many points from the last 4 games. Random fixture list my erse.
Add into that hertz away in the cup then it's one horrendous run of games. Still the flipside is an easier run of games after that.
Great fixture list. The fans want a period where the action comes thick and fast, managers look tense and drawn while moaning about depleted squads and youngsters are pitched in and become men or crumble into the dust re-emerging several years later as change-scrounging jakeys with hard luck stories but delusional plans for grandiose comebacks.
Players too mollycoddled these days - let them eat crack cocaine, to paraphrase Marie Antoinette.
We only have 1 away game at 3.00ko before the break.
Ross County on 7\4

The problem isn't the winter break but the piss poor planning.
This year's calendar contains 45 Saturdays from the start of the League Cup groups to the Scottish Cup final.
Excluding Europe for simplicity, in that time a team reaching the final of both cups would play:
8 League Cup Games
6 Scottish Cup Games
38 League Games
A total of 52 games.
Even factoring in a winter break of 3 weeks that's a game every week plus a midweek game every 6 weeks.
Yes there are postponements and possible replays but as I don't recall us being affected by that it sounds like poor planning to me.
