Who is your prediction for relegation this season ? I'm saying Ayr for the automatic drop and Queens in the playoff.

[Highlandmagyar]

Would agree with that

[Tryfield]

Queens auto, Morton play offs.

[rw89]

I wouldn't care so long as we stay up. As it stands, the only three teams I look out for in terms of the table are ourselves, Ayr and Queens.

[Magnethead]

It's a battle between Morton and Livi for the bottom 2 slots with Queens, Ayr and Raith going long unbeaten runs to clinch the top 3 slots

Go away wae this pish, it's already covered in another thread.

Meanwhile at Somerset Park......

It is definitely looking like we'll be relegated automatically.
Ayr and Rovers are averaging a point a game each, so if they maintain that they will each finish the season on 36 points. If we maintain our season average, we will finish with 30.
The worst part of it is that our early season form, which wasn't great, is where we had the highest points per game average. We had 7 points from the first 6 games then 10 points from the next 14 games.
So, if we got back to the early season form, we will finish with a total of about 36 points.
If we maintain the form of the last 14 games, we will finish with about 28 points.

[Northfield 53]

Unless Queens make at least 2 good signing now then Queens will go down

[LIVIFOREVER]

Falkirk when they go into admin and get 25 points deducted.

You high?

[vikingTON]

No it's just the Ayr United victim complex kicking in.

[forzamorton]

QOS going down bottom of the league and Ayr going down via play off.

[itzdrk]

queens for the automatic

anyone from ayr/raith/livi/partick for the playoffs

[Monkey Tennis]

Us.

Possibly via the play-offs, but more probably, without the need for such fuss.

Your just obsessed mate.....


Queen's are in for a rough second half of the season I reckon. Unless Gus can kick them into life somehow they'll finish 10th. I reckon 9th will be between Raith / Livi and us.
Hopefully Reid can get a couple more players in with a bit of experience to held keep us steady and improve our form a little bit. I'm hoping we can hit 40 points come our game against Falkirk on the 5th May.

Has the first division team in the play-offs ever been full-time? Would be pretty embarrassing as a player or manager to lose to a part-time second division side over two legs.
Almost as embarrassing as finishing bottom, below a part-time team.
If we are relegated we should have a Hall of Shame Dinner where we can throw rotten fruit at the chunts .

Playoffs began in 2006 I think.

2006 - Stranraer were part time and lost to Partick Thistle in the semi final.

2007 - Airdrie United were full time. They easily beat Brechin City in the semi final but lost the final to Stirling Albion

2008 - Clyde were full time at that stage also and despite trailing heavily midway through the 2nd leg of their semi final against Alloa they went on to win the playoffs and stay up. They remain the only first division side to stay up via the playoffs. In fact ultimately beaten finalists Airdrie were also promoted as Gretna's demise left the division one short.

2009 - Airdrie United, still full time I think, beat Peterhead comfortably in the playoff semi final but despite leading 2-0 at half time in the first leg of the final they collapsed to a loss against Ayr United. Again though they stayed up as Livingston were thrown out of the division instead.

2010 - Airdrie had another go at it. Not sure if they were part time by now but I think they were still full time? This time they lost the semi final in controversial circumstances to Brechin City, though Cowdenbeath ultimately won promotion.

2011 - Cowdenbeath were part time and lost the semi final to Brechin City who then themselves lost to Ayr United in the final.

So in six years of playoffs I think the first division team has been full time four times, certainly at least three. Clyde are the only first division side to actually win the playoffs though Airdrie United did stay up in 2009 too as a result of the Livingston / Massone debacle.

Airdrie lost as a full time team to Stirling Albion and were relegated back in 2006/07 season.

Ayr - Straight Down. QOS - Play Offs.

Isn't that Ferranti Meadowbank Livingston Rebrand FC's area of expertise?

[NavyBlueArmy1876]

And I doubt -25 points would relegate us anyway

Yep between Ayr, Queens and Raith anyone says otherwise is a fool

I dunno, I would probably steal more Ayr players than Queens players this season....

I fear for Queens this season, I know I dont like Gus and I knew it was gonna be a marriage made in hell, of course there is still the chance he may do a St Mirren and finish 2nd bottom by the grasps of his teeth but this time I would be surprised........

I'm coming for the weekend I think for the away April tie....bad times if we lose that trip......

[MB]

We'll finish 10th. Ayr will probably enter the play-offs.
