I believe second is now well and truly in our hands as well.

Possible, but unlikely. I can see Morton finishing fourth. There's quality in that team, but there's also pesky little matters like drawing at home to Raith. With the greatest of respect to the Rovers, if you're going to finish second top you should be winning those games. Frustrating given your ability to win at Dens, and with any luck, up at Dingwall.

I don't see much of a correlation there really. After all just last week Falkirk drew at home to Ayr, the epitome of seaside league cannon fodder, and a team we easily and regularly pump. And not long before that Dundee were humbled on their own turf by a team who had won one from their last nine league games.

If Morton can win their next two matches against weakened opposition then we're three points behind Falkirk with a game in hand.

Falkirk are shite, so that explains both the Ayr thing and the fact your mob may yet pass them. Dundee's defeat to lowly, perrenial strugglers Morton was a just one of those freak results. You have to account for the odd peculiarity among an otherwise solid string of results.

FFS, we're never going to hear the end of this.

What about your other defeat to 'lowly, perpetual strugglers Morton'? Mind that?

Biggie, I do believe you're right.

Yep, it will be the same as the 106 away supporters at Cappielow, like a broken needle stuck in an old gramophone 78.

I'll get shot down for this and I do realise we've been poor so far but I'll stick my neck out and say that Hamilton will finish above Morton this season.
