Apologies Salvo I'm not quite grasping you there.
Sorry, it was @SanguinePar who I should have mentioned - I agree with everything you've said there about the play off.

Don't usually post on here these days but been directed here from Pie and Bovril.
Interesting to see both the updates and the comments around them. Not going to add too much other than...
1. I think the 120 grand will be the 149 minus tax? In any event, you don't get 3 times that for 4th or 5th in the Championship. Not sure why it would be exaggerated like that.
2. Glad in a sense that Rosyth was partly to blame for losses last year - we only see spades in the dirt but planning, remediation, drainage etc all seem to have made a dent.
3. Interesting again to hear about adding paid personnel to make the club more professional off the park - I'd argue things like social media, the new website, ticket portal, links between the website and Pars TV etc have if anything got worse!
4. I'm a wee bit of a stats nerd (not as big as others mind you) so was interested in the xG stuff. I do think our xG will be skewed somewhat by that Inverness game where we hit the woodwork six or seven times - we probably had an xG of 4 or 5 in that one game alone - whereas in most games we don't create an awful lot of presentable chances. I'd also agree with the post above that our play is often turgid - there hasn't been too many exciting or entertaining games with good football on show. We've had a few stinkers, a few interesting/intriguing games, a few that we've had some good moments in; but overall if I was looking for entertainment or excitement I wouldn't be heading to EEP at the moment.
5. One quick one for Grant about assuming there would be 2 home play off games since it was really just us and Falkirk... a) we would have probably assumed being 9th the previous season that we'd have managed to best the 4th best team in League One and look how that turned out! And b) at the start of the season it wasn't clear it was going to be a 2 horse race. Many felt that Queens, Alloa, possibly even Kelty would be there or there abouts. Let's not rewrite history on that score.

My £10 free bet was a 13/1 shot which was nowhere even close (both Morton and Cowdenbeath let me down - the first I was obviously happy about, the second not so much!) and my £50 free bet looked good til I checked this morning and saw that Barcelona hadn't won at home last night (Arsenal, Rosenborg and Benfica all managed it). So no wingers from the free bets, although I did do a "saver" with our game as a draw/away win double chance in there so my £10 deposit has turned into £16.76 or something. So who got that last laugh there then? (Probably not me - you never see a poor bookie)

I did indeed get the full whack - a £10 free bet and a £50 free bet. Looks like you may have to use the whole £10 or £50 one time though (unless I'm doing something wrong). I stuck the tenner on a wee 5 fold at about 13/1 (including Morton to win - sorry!) so we'll see what happens.

Had the email in my spam. Turns out I was also in the top 30 so I also won a £10 free bet for that - do you reckon I'll get both credited if I set up an account?
-
Oooh, We won? Nice. I'll have a bit of that. Had a nice draw treble of Queens v Ross County, Millwall v Leeds and Swansea v Nottingham Forest come in on Saturday (£38.15 back for a £1 stake) so I'd use some free bets on my usual fixed odds that I'd normally be doing on my bet365 account anyway. I take it you'll have to stake an equal amount in real money or something but it's worth a look I suppose.

Not a good start for us, but we'll get back into it once the season settles down. It'll be harder to predict results in our league this season though and I think a lot of our success was down to predicting results in the Championship and League One.

When I win the Euromillions. Already have it planned. Terracing in the North Stand, seating tier and boxes above to make it the same height. Bar and museum in one corner, TV studio in another and screens. UV growth lights for the pitch and new Arsenal style seats for comfort.
Sadly Rosyth is getting closer to completion so my full sized indoor training pitch with seats for youth team games and winter friendlies will have to be shelved. Just have to spend it on hookers instead.
