Derryboy62 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 31 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: In terms of how Celtic and Rangers impact the race between us and Dundee, the ideal scenario for us would be as follows. This weekend -Rangers beat Killie and Celtic draw with Hearts. Next game - Draw between them. Next games - Rangers beat Dundee and Celtic beat Killie. Next games - Rangers lose to Hearts and Celtic beat Dundee to win the league. Final game - champions Celtic turn up smelling like a barman’s tie and still hawf pished. Job done. Job is a botch job sadly. Got the fixture dates mixed up and Dundee don't play Celtic again Apart from that it's a good effort... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the point was Celtic winning that particular fixture rather than it necessarily being against Dundee. My failure is still duly noted tho! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Carsons Neck Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Anyone know how many points Saints were ahead of us after they beat us 2-0 in February? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over that period they were more of a European force that yourselves Probably true, though top achievements are not by that much. We made the Fairs Cup semis in 68. What Utd have done better is their consistency in at least qualifying for Europe over an extended period which we struggled to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 3 hours ago, Lex said: Love to see it. For all the talk of this being a ‘showdown’ the only result that would decide things is a Saints win. Dundee aren’t making up a five point deficit in three games, two of which are at ibrox and Tynecastle, if we get three points, it’s over. A draw would certainly put us in the driving seat, but a two point lead with three games to go is far from decisive. A Dundee win would put them just one point ahead with a worse goal difference. Unlike Dundee, we could lose tomorrow and still finish 5th. We haven’t won a game for over two months, it feels like a long time. We will need to win one of these last four to get top five, might aswell make it tomorrow and we can get the passports out. A fair summary, we can all but put it to bed with a win tomorrow. A loss wouldn't settle anything though I honestly feel it would be disastrous mentally for us. But with a point in it and three games to go, it would still be all to play for though Dundee would have that massive psychological edge on us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I don’t think the post specifically said they won it, but I can see how it could easily be interpreted that way. I don’t think the poster actually thought they’d won it. You wouldn’t say a team won a UEFA Cup final. You would just say they won the UEFA Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF, why didn't Dundee just give us the tickets for the full stand in the first place. What's the contingency if the stand now sells out, will there be a section of the main stand kept free in case ? ETA what kind of crowd are we looking at, surely got to close to 10k ??? Edited May 3 by Billy Jean King 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've probably sold most of the allocation of tickets out and the announcement of a cash gate should add a few hundred more in the away end. So you're looking then at about two thirds or three quarters full? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
