Any statisticians on here able to answer these? I’m no statistician but I do know 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy. In his Open Goals interview Robinson said the team aims to get 6 points from each group of 4 games. We’re well ahead of that. Skooshing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Focus now moves to the League Cup. In the event that we don't win, can any of the Motherwell fans reading our thread give any tips on pretending we don't care about that competition? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any statisticians on here able to answer these? - firstly, I understand we need to amass ~40 points to avoid relegation. - how many points do we need to ensure top-six? - how many to get top four? - how many to get the coveted third spot, with its £5 million prize? Cant speak for the top half positions, but this is what i found for the bottom half a year or so ago. ~36pts keeps you safe from the bottom. From memory 40+pts after 33 games should see you in the top half more often than not. Things vary depending on how many whipping boys the league has and how strong Celtic/Rangers are. Think this year there'll just be one or two really weak sides, while the stronger sides will get points off Celtic/Rangers.

So you think that 90% of the Motherwell posters were born after 18th May 1991? So, 90% of us are younger than 32 (4 months and 7 days)? Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZingaliMan Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Just got my brother a ticket for the Rangers game not many in the main stand must be seats earmarked for buy a ticket. Can't wait Motherwell first game of the season was my last game . When does 1877 open up for lunchtime kick off anyone remember ? Hot breakfast rolls also the perfect Sunday to beat Rangers . Put a few bob on us at 7/1 . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention a week or so back about Robinson being a massive influence on him when he was both injured and going through a rough spell personally in non football related issues. Glad he's came back so far this season with a bit of a bang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Arguably 68/69 was our best top flight start as we were still unbeaten and second after 11 games before we fought our way down into the bottom half.

IrishBhoy Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 On 24/09/2023 at 10:22, Coventry Saint said: I don't think he did. He had put his whistle to his mouth but it looked like he was waiting to see how it panned out. That’s exactly what he done, and for once we seen a Scottish official using a bit of common sense and allowing the passage of play to continue. He very nearly blew his whistle but managed to catch himself in time. Unfortunately Walsh then decided he seen a foul in real time (which although still a terrible decision I understand that he only gets one look etc.), but inexplicably a different official with access to slow motion replays didn’t alert him to the monumental f**k up he made. That could have been an easy win for the refereeing team, a quite obvious case of no foul being committed and the VAR overturning an onfield decision. Back slaps all round from the fans, pundits and suits at Hampden Park alike, a job well done. But no, thats not how it goes down in Scottish football instead the incompetence of the refereeing team is laid bare for everyone to see. £850 quid Walsh pocketed on Saturday btw, nearly half of an average persons monthly wage for a few hours work. Can’t help but feel that money could be put to better use. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
