parsforlife Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 It was aberdeen who stopped the 11-1 majority being changed. We did actually get a slightly improved distribution model as celtic joined the 10 in agreeing to remove some of the money due for 2nd place.

Digs Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 It always impresses me when folk remember this stuff in detail, I can barely remember what the score was three weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently I would suggest that wouldn't be such a bad thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 Looking at the table, I reckon 10 points would probably make us safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be shocked if 45 points is anywhere near 9th, 40 will probably be enough but isn’t a guarantee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 In the last quarter we have played the top two teams in the league and still have to play Away: Airdrie, Arbroath, Ayr Utd, Morton, Home: ICT, Partick, Queens Park In the first quarter of games we took 14pts, and in the second and third Quarters we managed 9pts each. Thus far we have taken 3pts in the fourth and last quarter. Of the teams left to play our record stands as: Airdrie: 2wins, 1 loss Arbroath: 1 win, 2 draws Ayr: 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss Morton: 2 wins, 1 loss ICT: 3 draws Partick: 1 win, 2 loss Queens Park: 1 win, 2 loss I think realistically Arbroath are doomed, There is a risk of relegation play off place, but we are 4pts clear of ICT in 9th spot. From the games left to play and injured players returning to full fitness I think there is a great chance of taking 10-12 pts which should make us safe from relegation. A good run in 12-15pts is possible and that may take us into a promotion play off but we would have to beat Partick and Airdrie. Ultimately although we need to do it for ourselves. Other teams results will help as well. Form going into the end of season is all important. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 What's everyone's favoured result tonight? I think I'd like Ayr to take full points, even if it means catching up with us. Airdrie with their games in hand will be uncatchable if they win them, or do you prefer a draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I would prefer a Ayr win as it would make them catchable equally I would be happy with a draw because if we take 3pts from Arbroath we would jump above them. As I have said before if we are thinking of a possible play off place we would have to beat both Morton and Airdrie - we are only half way there! Still it means nowt if we cant beat the red Litchies the morn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can definitely beat Airdrie again now we have some key players fit again. I'm optimistic we can still finish 4th as our rivals still have to play United and Raith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what McIntyres game plan will be. They looked doomed, but they will need to play good football to beat us. Draws are too late for them. Interestingly enough Queens Park play Morton tomorrow, so something has to give. Table will look strangely different come Saturday with the top 2 clashing, which may turn out to be the winner takes it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw was no good to them when we last played them at EEP but it didn't stop them constantly wasting time at 1-1. Had they gone for broke, they might have nicked a winner but obviously thought we were more likely to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkiepar Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Hmm, tonight’s game was a feisty wee encounter. There certainly won’t be any easy games between now and the end of the season. Have to say that Ayr looked good on the ball and (love him or loathe him - and I’m a bit on the fence) Scott Brown had them fired up. This is a very, very tight league.

Al k Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 A win tomorrow and we are confirmed safe from automatic relegation and likely the relegation play offs, but more importantly into the promotion play offs. What a mental league this has been. I'm not sure its ever been so close. Any one from Two can win the league, any two from seven can still mathematically make promotion play offs, any one from seven can mathematically be in the relegation play off and unlikely one of seven can be relegated its unlikely anyone other than Arbroath. Still 6 games and more for some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
