Scosha Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Really nervous for it! Stranraer can win the league if they win can't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Massive game. After all the poor performances we've had I can't believe that the league is back in our own hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 This may not be right, since it's complicated, but (from a Stranraer perspective) Stranraer W W in last two games, Stranraer champions Stranraer W D, Stranraer champions unless Forfar W W Stranraer W L, Stranraer unless Forfar W W or W D/D W and improve their goal difference by more than 4 over us or by 3 and score 2 or more goals more than us over the last two games Stranraer D W, Stranraer champions unless Forfar W W Stranraer D D, Forfar champions if W W or if W D/D W and Morton D or L last match. If Morton W last match then Morton champions, unless Forfar's win is by 4 more goals than Morton's, which seems unlikely Stranraer D L, Stranraer only champions if Morton L last game and Forfar don't W one of final two games. Stranraer L W, Stranraer only champions if Morton L last game or D and our W is by one more than twice Morton's winning margin against us AND Forfar either don't W W or W D/D W and fail to improve their goal difference by more than 4 over us (or by 3 and end up scoring more goals than us) Stranraer L D or L L and we can't be champions So beat Morton next week and we just have to match Forfar's result on the last day. Draw and we can still win unless Forfar W W. Lose and we can only win the league if Morton fail to win their last game, Forfar lose at least one and possibly the goal difference goes for us! And if we end up in the play-offs it would be against either Forfar or Morton unless there was a very unlikely sequence of results. (Brechin W W, we L L and Forfar L L or L D/D L and we fall behind both on goal difference.) ETA happy for others to point out any errors, and for Forfar and Morton fans to comment on scenarios in the unlikely event that Stranraer lose next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, still possible for Forfar to better whatever goal difference you finish on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It would be good if Dunfermline did us all a favour and beat Forfar before kick-off. Really nervous for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Not quite, still possible for Forfar to better whatever goal difference you finish on. Still in Morton's own hands though - as it is for Stranraer. Still also think Forfar's fixtures are more favourable, but happy to be where we are now!

SpoonTon Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Both teams will know they need a win if forfar have already won. Will be interesting to see the approach of both teams if it's level late on in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTon Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Absolutely massive game for both teams whoever wins this will go on to win the league imo. If it ends a draw I can see Forfar seeing off Dunfermlime & Ayr to go on and win it. I think we'll take a healthy crowd because Forfar dropped points today. If Forfar had won today we would've took no where near as much. Counting down the days to this, it can't come quick enough. C'mon Morton!!!

#Gary Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Okay so you'd prefer forfar won?I probably would, yes.Forfar losing would give Stranraer a HUGE lift. I also don't think Forfar will better our goal difference if we win both our games so wouldn't be too concerned if they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Okay so you'd prefer forfar won? Both teams must want Forfar to lose. Morton have to beat Stranraer to keep the title in their own hands. If they do, a Forfar loss or draw makes their task much easier on the final Saturday. And likewise for Stranraer.

Poet of the Macabre Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Will try and catch a bit of this after Edinburgh City vs Brora next week. Massive game, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
