Lex Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Are you seriously going there considering the season your team has had? This is our worst season in 25 years, we are terrible. Still though, nine out of twelve. Am I right in saying that QOTS and Morton are the only two full time sides in Scotland not to have played in the top flight since 1990? Why you think that is?

sergie's no1 fan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Having Goodwin back will be like having a new player in. Have you not heard about the conspiracy, our managers anti Irish and that's why Goodwin hasn't been playing and why McMullan was sent back to Celtic.

Well we've only been full-time for a decade and for most of that, this league had to be won for promotion. In fact, even if we'd done that, it's likely we wouldn't have been allowed up. We've only had much chance for the last two seasons, and reached the play-offs each time. A bit of context, helps make some more sense of the bald statement about 1990.

glenburn bud Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Didn't deserve to loss that game but it's the way it's going at the moment we had a few chances and had the most possession only for St Mirren to beat us 2-1 with one shot on target the whole game! Shanklands disallowed goal, Gow's volley saved by your keeper and Gallagher's volley from outside the box, and Mallan's Free kick were all optical ellusions then?

I'm convinced that the BBC stat is wrong. However, would the disallowed goal one - albeit the circumstances sound unusual - not be disqualified from counting as a shot on target?

Monkey Tennis Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 This discussion is now happening across two threads. As I said elsewhere, I'm happy for us to be portrayed as historical underachievers. It's preferable to the rubbish about us punching above our weight of late.

Skyline Drifter Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Pretty sure the shot that led to the deflection, which led to Shankland sticking it in would count as a shot on target. I know that technically you are right (presuming it actually was on target? I couldn't see from where I was). However, the statisticians wouldn't count it as one as someone else played it before it got there and it was then offside. I'm not convinced they count shots blocked by defenders as shots on target either unless they actually clear them off the line itself. For what it's worth I can only recall two St Mirren shots on target all game, one being the penalty, and the other Gow's effort in injury time. That said, I don't know that we were much better. Oliver's headed goal and the late deflected effort from Higgins apart I'm struggling to think of much on target. It wasn't a bad game really, and I did think we played reasonably well, light years ahead of how we played on Tuesday, but the keepers weren't massively overworked. If we don't get 4th this season, and it's looking less and less likely now, then we have to look back on our results against St Mirren (and Raith) as much of the reason for it. We were poor against St Mirren at Palmerston and deserved to lose but for me we didn't deserve to lose either of the games at Paisley and probably should have won today. Likewise as awful as we were on Tuesday I thought we were the better side in the first two Raith games but got just one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know such luminaries as Clydebank and Gretna are in there Not having a go at any of these teams, why would I given this post "celebrates" our dismal failure to be in the top flight for 50+ years but the following some of whom have fallen on harder times of late have also been top flight more recently than us. Dumbarton, Clyde, Stirling Albion, Third Lanark , Ayr United, Arbroath, Cowdenbeath, Airdrie, East Fife, Hell Meadowbank nearly made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
