Criticize schedule (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slate

I believe this is a double definition.

'criticize' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'schedule' is the second definition.
(as in a film slated for release)

(Other definitions for slate that I've seen before include "Criticise harshly" , "Blast" , "Roofing plate" , "Scold; hard rock" , "Grey metamorphic rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
