K.T Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If Livi come up they will probably make Brechin’s 17/18 season look successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We haven't actually completed the Grand Slam - we were runners up in the seaside league in 1999. We did win promotion so it's a lesser Slam, a great achievement but not a full Slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Sadly, Dundee are only the Seaside League short of the Grand Slam. If the SFL (RIP) hadn't been so incompetent as to only deduct us 25 points, we would have had a shot at it. b*****ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Full list of Grand Slam winners Falkirk - Seaside league winners 1980, Challenge Cup winners (1994, 1998, 2005, 2012), bottom six champions (2007 and 2008), league cup runners up 1948 I'm taking seaside league as the second division post 1975 restructure. A strict intrepetation would be that the seaside league is the post 1994 third tier, which means that no club has completed the full Grand Slam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 there's a few teams who are near a slam As mentioned ICT and Dundee need to win the seaside league. Ross County and Hamilton Accies only need a league cup final defeat. Rangers need to finish 7th in the Premiership and lose a league cup final, I'm sure Stevie G has this as one of his main targets.

In which case we are nearly at a lesser slam as well. We were promoted as runners-up to Ayr United from the old Second Division when there were three leagues in 1988. We have been league cup runners up in 1970 and 1999. We won the Challenge Cup in 2008. This Saturday we can complete the coveted Lesser Slam by beating Ross County and overturning Motherwell's two goal advantage to seal the Bottom Six Championship. Fucking hell, it was already a huge game for us to seal the Championship, but this puts it onto a whole new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Final update of the season- in 1000 sims Thistle finished 11th 80% of the time and County 20%. Bet 365 paying 3/1 on County to win and Thistle to not double which seems about right including over round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
