KR88 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Totally irrelevant. Kilsyth must win their 3 games, They can't catch Largs anyway, and I would be astonished if they managed to stay ahead of Cumnock even if they beat them. They are dependent on other teams beating Kilwinning and Clydebank. Why is that irrelevant???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only stating a fact that they have to play Largs and Cumnock, so it's the antithesis of irrelevant. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the sectional league cup will be only time we play yoker next season Mon the papers That could mean one of two things, i.e. you think you're going up, or you think Yoker are going down. I suppose it could mean you think both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Largs missed a big opportunity tonight with a home goalless draw against Ardrossan, missing a penalty five minutes from the end as well. That opens the door for Cumnock who came from behind to beat Greenock in the visitors' last league game. Cumbernauld did themselves a huge service with a last minute winner against Kilsyth, ending their neighbours chances of automatic promotion in the process. Kilsyth can still arithmetically get the play-off place, but it would take Kilwinning to lose all four of their remaining games. I was at Yoker v Bellshill, and the winning goal was a disaster for the Yoker goalkeeper, a passback to him from about 40 yards out bobbling over his foot and into the empty net behind him. The updated maximum points totals after tonight's games :- 57 - Cumnock Juniors 56 - Kilwinning Rangers 54 - Largs Thistle 52 - Clydebank 46 - Blantyre Victoria 45 - Kilsyth Rangers 40 - Cumbernauld United 39 - Rutherglen Glencairn 35 - Shotts Bon Accord 34 - Yoker Athletic 32 - Ardrossan Winton Rovers 31 - Greenock Juniors (all matches finished) 24 - Bellshill Athletic 23 - Maybole Juniors The safety mark tonight sits at 32 points, as this Saturday sees Yoker v Ardrossan, so it's impossible for both teams to get to the maximum points total in the table above.

der73 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Could be a massive point for us tonight against Largs, wasn't expecting it. We have two games left, and if I've worked it out right, we win them both and we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two games left, and if I've worked it out right, we win them both and we stay up That would be correct, as you would be on 32 points, which is now the official safety mark. Greenock have finished on 31 and, if you beat Yoker on Saturday, they also could only get to 31. However, one defeat out of those two games would see Ardrossan relegated.

der73 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It's in our hands. Although our recent away record is actually pretty good, I wouldn't hold my breath. Yoker are an almighty bogey team for us, we never seem to get a result against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yoker didn't look like a team who had given up last night either, to be fair. They must have had at least fifteen corners in the second half, but they were lacking in inspiration in the final third and went route one far too often. The winning goal for Bellshill was just sheer bad luck for Yoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Only one match in the league tomorrow night, and nothing affecting the relegation issue :- Blantyre Victoria (6th) v Cumnock Juniors (4th) As it stands at the moment, halfway through May, only two teams (Blantyre Victoria and Shotts Bon Accord) are guaranteed to be staying in this league for next season.

energyzone Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I can't believe how tight it is at the top right now. It could be a great weekend for Kilwinning only if they manage to win, as with Clydebank playing Cumnock and Largs playing Kilsyth then it could be dropped points galore elsewhere. Kilwinning have also played all of those teams twice now. I'll probably go to Abbey Park if I get the chance. How is your away form glensmad?

Over the whole league season, it's Played 11, Won 5, Drawn 2, Lost 4, For 16, Against 18, Points 17. Our away form has been better than our home form. Our away wins have come at Bellshill, Kilsyth, Maybole, Shotts and Yoker. Our draws were at Blantyre and Largs. Our defeats were at Ardrossan, Cumbernauld, Cumnock and Greenock. So it's a bit unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'll add to that, we have only lost one away match since the start of 2016. Our away form since the turn of the year in all competitions is Played 6, Won 4, Drawn 1, Lost 1, For 12, Against 9. The one defeat was the 4-0 hiding we got off Greenock, which was a very strange night for us in the middle of what was a good run of form at the time.

BANKIEBILL Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Any one of 4 teams can still win the league and occupy one of the top 3 positions ... ( think Kilsyth still in with a shout of play off ? ) ... so not just a tight league in terms of relegation ... We really could've done with Cumnock dropping points last night ... and the Ardrossan draw at Largs was a bonus. Virtually anything could happen - although I fear we may be squeezed out as nothing is totally in our own hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilsyth would need to win their last two games and Kilwinning would need to lose their last four games for Kilsyth to get a play-off place.

Mon the papers Yes, I don't think it was any secret that Yoker losing last night was a good result for my team. But they still have enough games to go above us, and from what I saw last night they have plenty of fight left in them too. Yoker were more than a little unfortunate last night.

kilsyth ranger Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 We're struggling a bit at the moment with players injured or unavailable, think our dip in form in the middle of the season done for us on the promotion front. Just glad we're safe, think we've actually played better away from home too, which is suprising considering our excellent surface, teams seem to come to duncansfield an enjoy playing there,am suprised at we're Yoker are, we drew 2-2 at home with them,and they played well and we're well worth there point !!! 😠Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
