Bit crap really...Most teams play 2 games in 3 days nowadays so don't see why the League have accomodated Brum...

 

Oh well- at least have a trip to Burnley to look fwd to next weekend...

 

it is the same for all teams in the Europa league, they play on Thursday and their league games go back to a sunday, same for Spurs, Fulham, Stoke, Celtic

Do they? Examples?

 

Taken from http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article6525429.ece after 2 second Google search.

 

“Teams such as Everton could be playing big matches within three days of each other,” Ian Todd, the president of the Football Supporters’ Federation, said. “The quarter-final second legs of the Europa League are on April 8 and the FA Cup semi-finals are scheduled for April 10-11."

Not at all, he's wrong on many occasions. He just refuses to believe it. Admirable in many ways that someone could be so deluded, to be honest.

 

I know his probably falls under the heading of "backhanded compliment" rather than "insult" but feel you should be sanctioned for breaking your own forum's rules oh glorious leader :D

Easter Saturday, Easter Monday. :thumbup:

 

Usually Boxing Day and December 28th, along with Easter.

 

You just corrected MLG, something is wrong with the world.

 

No I haven't, because he implied it happened all the time for teams playing in Europe. I'm fully aware teams play two games in three days at Easter and Christmas.

You never said that, or even gave the faintest hint of it. How's that spoonful of your own ****ing tedious medicine tasting?

I'm with MLG on this one. Yes, Christmas and Easter are special times when they intentionally cram loads of games into a short time to give fans something to do. Everyone's aware of it before the season starts and are ok with it as it's not a regular occurrence. It's also conceivable that a club would have to do it towards the end of the season due to unplanned backlog of games needing to be completed by the end of the season.

 

But the rest of the time (such as this period we're talking about) it'd be very unusual to force clubs to play 2 games with only one rest day. I'm not saying it's never happened, but I'd also like to see how many examples there are of it happening per the original statement, implying Birmingham are getting special treatment:

But hey - don't let that stop you being a d*ck to MLG if that's what you're desperate to do.
