glensmad Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 I must admit I'm surprised, I expected Yoker to get one point from their last two games, but they've lost both games and they're down. To be fair, they've been flirting with relegation for a few years now, finishing one place above the drop zone for the past two seasons and surviving only on goal difference last year. So the safety mark finished at 31 points, and that's been the mark for a few years now, whereas before it was up around 34 or 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Truly sorry for Yoker - we've lived with the threat of relegation for long enough this season to know how they must be feeling tonight - but a remarkable turnaround from our side after looking dead and buried following some terrible results the first third of the season. #TheGreatEscape.

glensmad Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm sure the Kilsyth Rangers supporters will share the Rutherglen Glencairn fans' frustration that we both lost fewer games than the two promoted teams as well as 4th placed Petershill. It just shows you how too many draws can really hurt you. Clydebank lost 8 games, while Kilsyth only lost 3 and Glencairn only lost 5, but Clydebank are promoted because they only drew 2 games and managed to get that extra goal in games that they looked like drawing. Their late winner v Girvan towards the end of the season kind of summed that up for me, and that result was really the beginning of the end for our own promotion hopes. I'm sure all of the other teams will have their "what if" scenarios, but one more goal in just 3 of our 9 drawn games would have seen us automatically promoted, and one more goal in just 4 of our 9 drawn games would have seen us champions. But we didn't, so we go again in August and hope to carry our form of the second half of this season into the start of next season and hopefully challenge at the top again.

onemanwolfpack Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 My "what if" scenario is the only two teams who took 6 points each from Peasy were the two promoted teams. "If" we had taken a draw from either of them we would've went up in their place. But as you say we can all look back on games to see our downfall. Can't wait for next season, hopefully we can go on from lessons learned this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankies Alive Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 The two teams who won the most games went up. Thats why 3 points for a win was brought in surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and that;s pretty much the point I was making. Too many draws really hurts you at both the top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girvan would have finished on 50 points and Petershill on 49. You are correct about Clydebank though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilsythCoyle Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Too many games in a short space of time hurt you, when other promotion chasing teams around you are being favoured by the league and being given exemption from this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly right but if we also didn't lose a last minute goal against the Glens it might've made a difference. As you say what if stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
