That scenario is not unrealistic at all, although Ayr appear to be all over the shop these days. That shouldn't be happening when you've nothing to save your players for.

Monkey Tennis Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 5 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: Well that couldn't have went any better. Win next week. We really shouldn't be worried about what goes on between Alloa and Ayr but obviously it would nice if Ayr could beat them regardless. With Falkirk practically down it makes it even more important we stay up as they'll have the budget to bounce right back up. Yes, that unfolded as well as we could have hoped for: It means we're safe from finishing bottom. It means we're safe from the play-offs if we beat Thistle. It means that if we fail to beat Thistle, we're still safe from the play-offs if we match Alloa's result at Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauriestonBairn Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 McCall has already said on the radio during the week that he owes Alloa a favour and will be resting players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise I thought Alloa would beat ICT today. Which all points to Ross County still having more than enough to beat a Falkirk side who seem to have lost all fight I have to be honest, I will be attending next week and would happily take a defeat as long as my team are giving it 100%.

North Terrace Gazza Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 As we're giving Alloa 3 points the QOTS v Partick game is winner takes all.Don’t think we’ll be letting Alloa win next week. Beat them we finish third get an extra 70K and have Home advantage against ICT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Well I would say it was fun being part of the relegation royal rumble, but it wasn't, it was shite. But we take our leave and wave a fond farewell to all who fight on for another week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to add I'd be delighted for Alloa to win next week and stay up but only if we win against Thistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Other results went beautifully for us today so very disappointing we couldn't take advantage, despite being ahead and apparently having lots of chances. Not particularly confident about Somerset but as always, this team will give it a good shot. Going to be an interesting afternoon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I've not heard a fan stating that a midweek journey to Inverness is desirable.It’s not really about the fans but about trying to win the tie. Home game on the Saturday is an advantage imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 This is how i think it stands. So Dunfermline and Morton safe. Thistle safe if they avoid defeat against QOS. If they lose and Alloa win Thistle will be in play off spot. QOS safe if they beat Thistle. Also safe if they match Alloa result next week. (Could be 10th if lose but unlikely as 3 points and 9 goals better than Falkirk). Alloa safe if they win next week as they would overtake one of QOS and Thistle who play each other. Safe with a draw if QOS lose. Will be 10th if they lose and Falkirk win (unless QOS suffer a huge defeat). Falkirk. will reach play off spot if they beat County and Alloa lose at Ayr. Fixtures of clubs involve. Ayr United v Alloa Athletic. Falkirk v Ross County. QOS v Partick thistle. I'd certainly have taken this scenario at FT last night.

Savage Henry Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 That shouldn't be happening when you've nothing to save your players for.It can happen if they want it to. Teams that win the league early get the right to do that. Players have been playing through injuries for weeks.At the very least, I’d expect a number of development age players on the bench, and a team of with everything to play for may well beat a better team with nothing to play for.

Beat them we finish third get an extra 70K and have Home advantage against ICT. Exactly, try getting that into “Ayrmad” thick skull, as all he is concerned with is him and another 200/300 going to Inverness on a Saturday rather than a Wednesday, and also paying back some sort of favour to Alloa. He obviously doesn’t realise the bonuses the players are on for finishing position. Ayr,s best chance in the Playoffs has to be second leg at home in front of 4000 or so. Do your best next week to win. I can’t see Falkirk winning anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
