It's a flight from Turkey, but what a nick to get yourself in all the same.

Points down to 12th / 20th is absolute nonsense.
Participation trophies.

Very surprised that there's not one Accies player in there.
I suspect this is sarcasm.
I don't think it's much of a surprise that a team 33 league games undefeated and won the league at a canter fill all but 1 slot in the TotY tbh. And deservedly so.

don't think there's any official confirmation yet but that's the pattern the last few seasons and can't see it changing. i'd been kind of hoping i didn't need to be interested but it doesn't appear to be working out that way.
True, but I got that info from Struthers a few weeks ago so I expect he’ll be ITK.

Have the play-off dates been announced yet? Had a quick Google but nothing's coming up for our division.
Sure they are Tue/Wed & Sat then Wed & Sat the weeks immediately following the final game.

It won’t sadly, even if we go invincible the manager of the season award will go to clement or Rodgers (whichever one wins the premiership) because they manage the old firm and they won the “best league in Scotland”
If anyone is going to win it, it should be Robinson, Docherty, mcinness, McCabe, mcglynn or naysmith (stenhousemuirs version) neither one of the old firm bosses should win it imo
Billy Reid won it when we won the First Division so I wouldn't say Rodgers or Clement are a shoe in for it.

What a season for Leverkusen. One day the uglies will have a shite season and someone will have the consistency to win the Premiership.
Bayern haven't had a bad season, though. That's what makes this achievement even more incredible.

Apart from a couple of decent chances, if I was an Accies fan, I’d be gravely worried about the players attitude, application and general malaise. It was an absolute canter and we’ve had teams like Annan and Edinburgh giving a far more dig. Play offs are cup finals - play like yesterday and you’ve absolutely no chance of getting up.
You'd think those that watch Accies every week would have been highlighting how poor the manager is at managing and motivating our team...

That was hand ball. Got away with it.
Doesn't quite make up for the shiter you got last time at NDP but does, I suppose, support the theory that decisions even themselves out over the season.

I remember thinking about this last time we played this fixture, but why are Falkirk in their change kit?
It's more of a clash than wearing navy blue.

I'd imagine promotion was his number 1 target!
Number of points very much a minor consideration.
Winning the league was the target tbh, and matching Dunfermline's total from last season was chosen as a (realistic tbh) total that would achieve that.
He's managed neither.
The club were very quick to use the points total as his KPI in defence of him when he was still on track to hit that but probably not win the league.
Promotion is not a word that has ever been used this season as a target or aim. Because it is the absolute minimum expectation from the backing and investment he's received.
Not getting promoted would represent complete failure not just a missed target.

If you finish second on 75 points or whatever and go up via the playoffs he will have succeeded.
If we finish on 75 points he'll still have missed his target, though. Which is a fact.
I'd still punt him if we go up.

You could still get promoted so he certainly hasn’t failed. This is beyond self entitled. Falkirk is the second best team to play in this division but you expect Rankin to surpass what Sevco did in the league. It’s just ludicrous.
His target was to amass 80 points - that's on the record from fans forums. He cannot achieve this ergo he has failed to achieve his target for a second consecutive season.

Having watched a fair bit of the championship Friday night games I think we'll be just fine next season.
I agree tbh. The bottom half of the Championship isn't too different to the top of League One. We should have beaten Airdrie last season and we were utter dross, but it's no surprise to see both Airdrie and Dunfermline in the playoff hunt.
You'll be there too, and I reckon we could be there or there abouts if we get the chance.
Looking at the teams for next season's Championship I think it will be very open, evenly matched, and won by a relatively low points total. A great opportunity for many clubs, the like of which it hasn't been for some time.

I’ve no idea why Hamilton fans are so desperate to convince themselves this Hamilton squad was ever going to be good enough to finish above a Falkirk side on such an extraordinary run of form.
I think the majority are comfortable that it's not possible to finish above a side that drop 12 points in 36 games.
However you don't watch us every week. The football is pish, there is no clear identity or style of play, we sit in and try to protect 1 goal leads at home to teams like Edinburgh City rather than trying to kill games off, he still doesn't know his best XI, and he continues to make baffling substitutions that actively weaken us.
If we were second but playing decent football going into the playoffs then fine. But we've not been at that level since before Christmas.
Our players literally turn up to training, eat beans on toast, doss about for a bit, have a starbucks, and then watch Netflix. Yet we're still second. That's not because of Rankin.

It’s a matter of fact that he has.
It's a matter of fact he has not. At its most basic level he was set a target for this season and cannot achieve it.
Two seasons in charge, zero out of two targets achieved.

IMO there is as much chance of winning the lottery as there is of that Hamilton squad being able to finish above this Falkirk side regardless of who the manager is. Managing a smaller club and gaining 2nd place behind a bigger club but still with a healthy points total is no disgrace for Rankin, only 2 players or maybe 3 at a push from Hamilton would be considered starters in the current Falkirk squad.
Given we were level on points after the First Quarter I don't actually think there is a gulf in quality between the two sides. We'll never know, obviously, but had you'd lost up in Cove I don't think we'd be sitting here in April with you lot miles clear and with that as your only loss.
You've built on the confidence and belief that you can grind something out every week, and not having been beaten will be on your opposition's minds as well.
You'll do well next season, but if we do go up, a decent manager would have our current squad sniffing around the playoff spots too.
I dunno why Falkirk fans are so desperate for it to be true that Rankin has done a good job.

It does worry me a bit with that the money McGowan will get from this that he's going to go and try to destroy another club wouldn't wish it on anyone and hopefully he's nowhere near another football club.
Unless it's Clyde.

You have more points than Stenhousemuir who are confirmed champions and until a few hours ago had more than Dundee United too. We're just that good
We're in different divisions, so this is just a nonsense comparison.
I'm being very careful not to come across as diminishing the magnitude of going unbeaten in any division, because i'm not - that is, quite simply, a remarkable achievement, but a full-time team in League One amassing a large number of points just isn't that great of an achievement.
