Realistically we only need 1 win from 4 to be completely safe IMO. Difference in performances since sacking Davidson makes me think we'll manage it. Too much quality in that team to be playing as shite as we were so hopefully it now starts to show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Livi weren't even playing well before we scored and were all over us possession and territory wise. We were just smashing long balls up the pitch that were just immediately coming back to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pervaded the under 21s when he was in charge and still does. We have a very decent creative player in Dhanda and we never utilise him. Our few decent performances this year have come from dominating the ball in central midfield, not bypassing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it when we were at our worst, Killie spent 90 mins doing it yesterday - I think it's just low confidence players and managers wanting to play (in their minds) low risk football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous turnarounds and no wonder they were the teams to confirm the interim managers. Wasn’t really paying attention to the top end of the table as much but for some reason Livi really shat the nest post World Cup. We do it every year, we go on a brilliant run up to Christmas, then when we come back from the January break we shit the bed and limp across the line. We've done it three years in a row now. Martindale also now saying he's going to be dropping some players for the Killie game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston seem to have stopped completely weeks ago, who knows what we'll do now effectively safe etc. I still think the fixtures give United an edge overall but it only takes one upset to tip the whole applecart. Can only say it's fantastic viewing when you're not in the middle of it, I'm very much enjoying this position for a few months! What's the chances of Kettlewell fielding his B team when we visit you on the 20th? With him being a County legend it would be a very honourable thing to do. Maybe have a word with him please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday past was instructive as Killie had more to play for than us, same as County will - but there was no sign of us dropping off what we were doing previously - so I'd be surprised if we made huge changes or were in holiday mode (unless 40 points was our real target). On the other side, KVV is chasing his mad 30 goal total and he loves a goal against County, so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, I knew it was a bit but that's huge. I know the money has to be won for the good of next season but I miss the time when the end of season kickabouts saw plenty kids given their chance. Though I guess throwing youngsters in beside KVV in his current crusade is hardly a pressure free situation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised too - the difference in the bottom 6 prize money is greatest between 7th and 8th for some reason. Even 6th to 7th is only £200k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I don't think that's accurate. The difference between 6th and 7th is twice as big as the difference between 7th and 8th. The 42 clubs in the SPFL get a split of the overall prize pot based on where they finish. The percentages of that prize pot for the Premiership are shown in this table, from p41 of the SPFL's Articles of Association. I think there is an adjustment to be made to that to account for VAR costs, but my understanding is that this cost is being shared out relative to the overall prize money of the 12 clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 That doesn’t add to 100, presumably the parachute payment and some trickle down the leagues happens? I think a little shaving at the top and spreading a little extra at the bottom wouldn’t go amiss. The teams at the top generally have other larger revenue streams. A different conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 That is just the Premiership's share, the remainder is for the lower leagues - it's in the link above on p42. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Top 2 take almost 25% of the prize money across the whole country. Absurd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The carving up of the prize money has been changed for the better. It used to be weighted even more to the benefit of the top two. 1st and 2nd got much the same, then there was a bigger gap to 3rd and the rest. A real bonanza for whichever two random clubs tried hard enough to finish in the top two spots each year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 OK, but my numbers come from the actual SPFL rules rather than some unsourced website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
