It was lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 11 hours ago, Savage Henry said: There is a bit of that, but our home form is excellent. I can see us beating Motherwell. If Livingston down tools, that might not count for anything but if they take “we’ll show em” attitude, it could mean we’re all but safe before the St Johnstone game. Livingston played with absolutely no heart or conviction yesterday but are clearly a much trickier prospect on their plastic. I don't see County not winning at least one of their remaining home games, which means St Johnstone need at least five points from their last three. Not impossible but that'll need a consistency I certainly don't remember them having for a while. From the outside Cowie deserves huge credit because he took over a shambles and while Levein may be past it, most folk would have expected him to shitfest St J over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said elsewhere that even if some of the County players aren’t very good - and some of them are miles off the standard needed - they aren’t shitehawks. Cowie is such a decent bloke and he’s garnered a real spirit in the squad. It’s the only reason I have to think we’ll be okay.

I think we need to win 2, and one has to be against County. County have 2 home games against Motherwell and Aberdeen and they pick up at least 1 win from those two for me, which means they hit at least 36pts. We need to win next week for me. Leveins trying to shitfest but we don't have the players for it, so we're just a nothing outfit. There's plenty of evidence that we're at our best if you tell them to push forward and be brave but it's not going to happen now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the total anti-climax of United on the last day last season, my main wish is the 'Well v Saints game isn't a dead rubber. Dunno if I'd quite say that's looking probable but certainly more possible than I'd like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I guess we relegated Livingston so condemning St Johnstone to the play offs in the last game of the season would be an interesting double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It is positions like this that I love the split for, yes even when my team is involved, each team has games with teams around about them and potentially winnable ( or if levein drawable) games each week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can fully see you losing to County next week and us failing to beat Livingston, then that's us 4 behind County and having to beat them at McDiarmid to even stay in touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro-Kann Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Having seen St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup and Ross County in the League cup I would rather it was Saints that were the team to finish 11th, problem being that to get to meet them again we have get through 4 very tough games. Still last season I thought Falkirk would be a difficult challenge at the start of the play-offs yet 45 mins later ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The proverbial 6 pointer on Wednesday night. Saints vs County. This looks like it will be an eyebleeding shitfest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I'd imagine the championship clubs will be hoping county don't drop down as uncle Roy will surely get the chequebook out again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be fairly open tbh. We went balls to the wall against Livi and I think we'll start a similar team so have the same start. I don't think County will sit looking for a draw either, they'll go for a win to kill it and will try to start quick too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that won't affect the Championship clubs though. His investment in the top flight will not make a huge amount of difference to most teams there, but it would more than likely completely eliminate competition in the 2nd tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 No real surprise to see big relegation thread veterans Hearts in amongst it yet again. Could this season be their 3rd (third) relegation in 11 years? That'd be almost Dundee levels of Boing-Boing from the Maroon Yo-Yo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
