Complete and utter nonsense rule.

Doesn't make much sense and just benefits the bigger clubs, particularly celtic

Might end up being good for us though so let's not complain too much eh 😜

Not a fan of this decision although it’s going to be a hectic schedule so may well turn out to be a masterstroke. I also see us benefiting from it with our larger squad than I’d guess anyone out with the OF maybe equal with Aberdeen, May also see youngsters coming on/starting more regularly. I think when we have everyone fit there’s probably 5 players who won’t start that would comfortably slot in so should help. Off the top of my head these could be Hanlon Jackson doig Mallan hallberg Gullan Wright etc

Also assume it would’ve needed the 11-1 to be put in place so most clubs must be happy with it

I can’t see this benefitting anyone other than the Old Firm, some teams won’t be able to name a first team bench of 9!

What are the intervals

Whenever clubs dictate as usual subs just you can’t stop the game for subs more than 3 times to prevent time wasting late on. So if you wanted to use 5 you’d need to make 2/3 changes at at least 1 in interval

Would have been 9–3 as it's not changing distribution of money or size of the league.

It’s three changes. 2 subs, then 2 subs then 1 sub, for example.

Five subs works just fine in Women’s football. Doesn’t hold up the game and will help with fitness levels after the lack of a normal preseason and hectic schedule.

Ahh okay so still not just a old firm decision either way league across the board has backed it so hoping not to see managers complain later in the season
