TxRover Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Interesting fixture layout right now, as if Queen’s Park beat Cove, and Partick beat Morton, the next weekend features a really juicy clash of the two teams tied on points for second trying to keep up with or close on the leaders (depending which ICT team shows up). At worst, the Partick v Dundee match will be to see if Partick can catch Dundee, though Dundee would still have a game in hand in either case. Should be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s unlikely to be much difference in quality between the sides per season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Ton Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 15 hours ago, edinburghhonestman said: Second bottom in the Premiership should play 4th in the Championship. The playoffs are too heavily weighted on survival of the top tier team. Sorry that was the deal maker to get PL teams to accept a playoff game. Taking a step back playoffs have been good for maintaining supporter interest. Teams might be out the championship winning race but have a wild card if they make the playoffs. Interesting analysis of playoff outcomes and having eight years data adds substance to the argument. Yes, being fourth you don't realy merit getting up. So we will add this data to our match day team talks and set 3rd as the least acceptable finish for the Ton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I would like Morton to win promotion this season, and only Morton. And if that can't happen, then I would like a financial or footballing incident to occur that would result in no team being promoted. An incident so serious that it would not only derail this season, but seriously cripple the prospect of these 4 teams ever playing in the Premiership again. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offer is open ended, I'll take you up on it when its time for bankruptcy hearing for your wretched plastic club in circa 5 years. I wouldn't want to miss that for the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, next season I’d be a bit more in favor of Celtic and Rangers ending up 11th and 12th, then Celtic bottling it to Ayr in the playoffs, and wailing and gnashing of teeth that would ensue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippyminton Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I'd be content with us just making the playoffs, whilst having supporters of other teams realise that not all of us are complete nutjobs.

How many managers do you reckon both arsecheeks would go through in the season in that scenario? I'd say four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a quick scan at your post history. Not good!

To me - being a 'proper' fan of the game also involves showing humility and respect to our opponents. But I totally get that we're all different. Very best wishes to you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill will and 'banter' I guess is part and parcel of a football forum. There are a few though who rarely offer any useful insight or humour, but feed off a level of hatefulness that eclipses support for their own club, and exposes a very unhappy mind (you know who you are). It's a shame really as P&B is unrivalled for information and discussion, but it can be a very tedious and depressing place to be. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9queens Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 For me, Pie and Bovril's raison d'être is to make Friday night Championship games semi bearable as the multi-team fan chat is usually way more entertaining than the games. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame really as P&B is unrivalled for information and discussion, but it can be a very tedious and depressing place to be. I actually think compared to almost any other football discussion you can find online that P&B is possibly the most sane and balanced discussion you could hope for. If you ignore the odd roaster of which each team has a few, most of the debate is pretty good natured and relatively informed. I think that's largely fed by a fan culture in Scotland that (outside of the bigot brothers) is much more rational and positive than most countries. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
