Falkirk will come down because they're shit and it's about time they get relegated after surviving by the skin of their teeth last season, St Mirren won't come down as they always seem to pull themselves away from danger. I'm expecting Dundee to earn promotion to the promise land although they'll be fought all the way by Caley and County.

Whichever First Division side that goes into the relegation play offs will survive with Alloa taking Airdrie's place.

[ScottyC]

Dunfermline
Falkirk
Raith Rovers
Cowdenbeath
Alloa or Stirling (Not to fussed which one it is, their both kinda local teams and easy to get to)
Partick
QOTS
Ayr
Dundee (Love to see them fail and they bring a decent crowd to EEP)
Ross County or ICT (Not bothered which one wins promotion, two trips to the highlands is easier than four)

[GordieBoy80]

Dundee to win the First, Falkirk relegated from SPL
Airdrie down automatically, Morton to lose in play offs
Alloa to win 2nd Cowdenbeath to win play offs

[callum-ayr]

Alloa
Ayr
Dunfermline
Falkirk
Inverness
Morton
Partick
Queen of the South
Raith
Ross County

This league will be a lot tighter next year in terms of promotion with the likes of Dunfermline, Partick, Queens, Inverness, Falkirk and County all trying to stake their claim. In the bottom 4 with Alloa Ayr Morton and Raith, I dont see Alloa have a good enough sqaud to compete at this level so they will go straight back down, and again Morton, Raith and Ayr all battling it for 7th 8th and 9th spot.

Other than the curry sauce and chips and the incest jokes.

ICT up, hopefully midden down.

Airdrie and Morton down and Alloa and Cowdenbeath up.

Wouldn't count on it given how we started the season, there is no reason why Alloa or any other team that comes up can do the same.

[Dazzle]

Dundee will swap with Falkirk and Stirling and Cowden will replace Ayr and Airdrie. Don't want Alloa, hate thier ground.

Morton

I hope I'm wrong but I think we might well blow it.

[Parscelona]

I'm quite interested in all these nominations for Cowdenbeath, additionally it's no surprise that most of these have been mentioned by a fair few Pars and Rovers fans.

Yes Cowdenbeath are having a great season although i don't think they're as good as Alloa who i reckon will win the 2nd Division...which leaves the play offs.

Do people seriously think Cowdenbeath or any side in the 2nd are strong enough to defeat Ayr, Raith or Morton, or is it just wishful thinking on their behalf?

[Michael W]

I believe that there's a sizeable gap between the quality of teams in the First and the Second. Look at Ayr for example - their team which was, until the new signings came in, struggling up here, would comfortably wipe the floor with the teams in the second.

However, I'm not so sure if a team that's been used to losing all season is likely to string some wins together over 4 games, even if they are against inferior opposition. I wouldn't imagine the team finishing 9th will go into the play-offs with much confidence, whereas the others will go in full of confidence, and will know the pressure isn't on them to perform.

Careful, the PC brigade (usually certain Thistle or Morton fans) will be down your throat for daring to project beyond the next 10 minutes.

You're right. Inverness CT are going straight back up and Gary Harkins won't know what to do with himself as Dumbdee stay in the 1st div.

Yeah, but what's your prediction for North Korea v South Korea in the World Cup? Oppression v Freedom. Who'll win?

[ScottyC]

Falkirk will be relegated cause there managed by that fanny Pressley.

Standard of teams coming up next season will be much lower than this season and I expect them to struggle.

Cowdenbeath really would struggle to pick up points in this division.

f**k aye! Away days

[vikingTON]

gav will very quickly tire of an away day to Cappielow.

Having been in the position of playing Cowden away this season they were distinctly unimpressive, two basic marking errors giving Weatherson a double. f**k sake even McFarlane scored a screamer past them. This was in the CIS before the season's start and I didn't expect them to do anything better than tread water, if they were lucky. For them to be doing so well underlines how poor the Second is now that the 'sleeping giant' teams have all been shuffled up. Watching Dumbarton fail to score in 270 minutes against us hits it home too. Stirling/AlloaBrechin could win a one-off match but I think even the four play-off matches would be too much.
