mainstand Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 The most points that both Falkirk and St Mirren can get is 13 as they have to play each other again (4 wins and 1 draw). That would bring them up to 41 points, but would mean the best that Kilmarnock could do in that circumstance would be 3 wins and 2 losses (coming against Falkirk and St Mirren). That would leave them on 38 points. As I see it, if we win tomorrow, we are mathematically safe as there isn't enough points for each team to gain in the remaining 5 games for us to be caught by all three. Reason enough to make tomorrow an important game. P.S. Someone more mathematically minded than me might want to check and confirm! The bottom 2 are on 28 they will be playing 5 games and as you say the max points is 15 but if the 2 draw against each other then they would get 13. But this would mean that the team that is 3rd bottom would get 9 points. which would mean they would only get 38. If the bottom 3 all draw against each other then they would each get 11 which would give the bottom 2 39. So yes a win on Sunday and we are mathematically safe.

Aitchy Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Excellent - makes Aberdeen trip better. Will you be in attendance tomorrow? Word on the street is that you are to recieve the honour of the freedom of Aberdeen thanks to your comments in a programme a few months ago. That means that you are allowed to drive a flock of sheep down Union Street - a task that might not be so easy given Aberdonians tendency to enjoy sheep!!

mainstand Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 some strange fixture times, OF game on a Tuesday night. Hibs don't have a single game in the last 5 on a Saturday at 3pm. All the bottom 6 matches ko at 1230 on the last Sat and the top six at 1.30 on the sunday, what a waste of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I had been trying to work this out tonight Being at my pessimistic best I was trying to work out what would happen if we lost all our remaining games. If that was to happen we could go down. But that needs a lot of results to go other ways The bottom 3 need to take 9 points from their games against Saints, Hamilton and Aberdeen. Then in the worst case for Saints would be for them all to draw with each other and Hamilton to beat Aberdeen. If Saints lost all the remaining games including tomorrow in that case we would go down. With a draw tomorrow then with the above it would come to goal difference but as has been said above a win makes us safe. Even if we don't win tomorrow I am sure by next week one of the bottom 3 will have dropped points and we will be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahoorsir Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Couple of observations on this. First of all thank christ we don't have to go to Hamilton again. i wouldn't be prepared to pay £77 again for my family to watch that shower of s*** spend the whole match cheating and time wasting. Second re the Falkirk game away could we not stick Alan Main in goals and he could let a few in. That would really give those fminks down Pailey way something to bleat about for years to come. Given the stick they have dished out to Main over the years I do hope it is them that is relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mapleleaf Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Could some one explain to me why this "split" takes place? Doesn't it cost teams quite a bit of money if they don't get to play the more fashionable teams? Smudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a carve up of final placing money to be played for and giving a place to a keeper who is no longer good enough for the SPL would be like match fixing.

I think you have a bit of a cheek saying that folk are being harsh on a player, with some of the comments you have posted about Davidson, Sheerin, Sherridan and Smith to name but a few not to mention your obsession with Del. Oh and if you are talking about stick for Main what about a thread where you continued to slag him about not being a clubman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge They wanted to increase the size of the SPL to 12 but didn;t want to increase the season by playing 44 league matches, they therefore came up with the plan to jeep the top sides ie OF playing each other 4 teams to jeep the tv companies happy.

Dr Christmas Jones Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 The only problem with missing out on the split is we don't get a chance to pump the other half of the ugly sisters.Killie to go down for me because of previous misdemeanours against our wonderful club.Another thing i dont understand is the ugly sisters play at 1200 on Sunday to stop the death rate in Scotland rocketing for 24 hrs.So they set the last fixture at 7.30 on a Tuesday night.feck knows.

The spl are saying the police requested it. They also kind of narrowed the options down quite a bit as they: they didn't want a title decider they coudln't play on the first 2 sats after the break and just to make it even worse they also didn't want them playing on the last saturday of the seaon or on the bank holiday weekend.

They have had night games before and it has been quite quiet. They will be at work for most of the day. And anyway given that it is on may 4 2 days before polling woudl you no be keeping clear of the weird looking folk in the town centre shaking folks hands and trying to kiss babies.
