Correct. That twatt King's nae money. The end looms.

Thanks for the loyal service Dave. Stay well and enjoy your retirement.

The flat five at the back was daft against small, mobile strikers who make lots of forward runs into the channels to pick up short dinked passes. First, you need some players in front to close down the dinked passes. Second, you need a shape with the full backs higher up the pitch pressing their midfield. Third, the central defenders should play a little deeper to snuff out the runs. Most of the threat from Barca is through the middle, especially if you push your full backs up to shut down theirs. A fast, mobile central back three, maybe with one acting as "sweeper" in the middle is the way to play them. Celtic squandered a lot of possession last night, we'd beat them if they played like that against us. PS Can you imagine what Barca would do to Rangers, Celtic having put five past them?? Tee Hee.

Was that what we paid? Holy Nick...

It was very very clever. I think the guy Bain who wrote it died in the late 1980s. The character died with him, unlike Oor Wullie and the Broons that were never the same after they stopped reprinting the Dudley D Watkins originals. All the Angus Og characters are here in this one

Can't see them winning the league TBH. I'll be surprised if they make Europe. Between us and Aberdeen for those slots I reckon.

Now he's a proper teuchter.

I was one of the people who booed Swanson at the cup game. He wasn't fit, played poorly, and shouldn't have been on the park. I made a 12 hour round trip up from England to watch that game, I paid my money and I'm entitled to express my opinion. Conversely at the Stirling Albion game I was on my feet applauding some of the great work that Swanson did. If someone's shit they get pelters, if they're good they get cheered. Nothing two faced there. PS I also abused McFadden at that game, and it's one of the few occasions I have booed my own players. I guess having won the cup the previous year, the way we surrendered it to those shitbags just boiled my piss.

Oops 3-0 them Dumbelly 6880

Now that I got my excel scenario all programmed, another wee calculation. If five (or more) of the draws were fiddled, it would return that outcome (20/28) to within acceptable probability limits.

OK there are 268,435,456 possible outcomes from 28 cup draws. To have 20 (or more) draws come out of the hat as home(s), there are 1,683,218 outcomes. Putting that as a percentage, the likelihood of them getting 20 or more homes from 28 draws is 0.63%. If you look at it from another angle, there are only 1,184,040 outcomes which give exactly 20 home draws, a probability of 0.44%. The probability of getting 14 home draws, i.e. half as the statistics would suggest, is 14.94%. So, over the last 28 draws, Sevco have had an outcome which is 33.88 times unlikelier than the most likely scenario....... Assuming your figures are correct Smarmy this looks very suspicious.....

I see the usual rabble have infested this thread and started another argument. So tiresome.

I ken, realised it just efter I posted

It's an interesting problem, you'd need a binomial expansion and a power series to figure out how likely the draws are to be bent. I'll calculate it if someone looks up the no. of home vs away draws.

Yes in a perfect draw there's a 50% chance of it being a home game. That probability is not influenced by the outcome of previous draws, i.e. the 50% probability resets each time. Over a very large number of games (>1000) if there is a significant deviation from 50% home then you have a case. Take the nth row of Pascal's triangle, and the mth number in it, and you have the numerator (top bit) of the probability of m home games from n total draws.

I live in Englandshire and it costs me nearly two ton to attend a game. Can't afford to attend more than a few times a year, like if its a big game or if I'm up on business etc. Not as far or as expensive as john up in Eskimoland but still makes me an exile.

I did mate, £3.60.

Its to my throw-away email address, so someone must of sold them my details? If not that then fecknose.
