So, any chat about not being shit enough to have ever play in the seasides is a wee tad fanciful, despite what the record books say. Well obviously we aren't shit enough to play in the seasides otherwise we would have. In 1958/59 we won at Ibrox on the last day of the season to avoid the drop, although results elsewhere meant it didn't matter, and the following season we won our last 4 games to stay up. In 1968/69 we beat Falkirk at Christmas to give us enough leeway to play out the rest of the season just above the drop zone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 95 we finished 2nd bottom and beat Dunfermline in a play-off to remain in the league. In 2000 we finished bottom and were due to play a playoff against Dunfermline and Falkirk. That didn't take place due to Falkirk's stadium. Dunfermline were automatically promoted. So in other words, we have rightly never been relegated.

I think that you may find that “what the record books say” is the be all and end all here. The only question that need concern you is, “how many times have Aberdeen been relegated?” and not “how many times have Aberdeen nearly been relegated?”. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 95 we finished second bottom and won the play off,dundee utd were bottom and relegated. In 2000 we were bottom but it had been agreed pre season there would be no automatic relegation but a round Robin play off with teams 2 and 3 in the championship and bottom of the league with the best 2 of these 3 teams increasing the league from 10 to 12. The fact brockville was deemed unfit only saved us playing in this play off not relegation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassment. Also , you won the Scottish Cup after over a century, that is true. We've still won a trophy more recently whilst finishing ahead of you for around a decade. You also can't even beat your lower league neighbours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 1995 shouldn't even be up for debate. The rules were set out at the start of the season and we comfortably beat Dunfermline 6-2 on aggregate. 2000 is slightly more shaky but only slightly. 2 of three teams in the playoffs were to be in the premier. Falkirk cheated and were rightly denied a playoff place. The only debate is whether the 4th place team (st mirren if i remember right) should have got it instead. The rule was 2nd and 3rd qualified. The stadium criteria didn't affect division 1 placings, so st Mirren didn't qualify for the playoffs. So it looks like the only decision that could be made was made. Even if 4th had been unjustly awarded the playoff spot it was only a remote possibility that the Dons would finish third. So what happened in 2000 is the dons weren't incorrectly exposed to a minor risk of relegation . Not very banterrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep62 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I thought Ewan's reference to the number fourteen might be his age.
