Poet of the Macabre Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Dumbarton - L vs United, L vs Falkirk = 38 pts (GD -11) Rovers - W vs Saints, L vs Ayr = 39 pts (GD -13) Saints - L vs Rovers, W vs Hibs = 38 pts (GD -9) Ayr - W vs Hibs, W vs Rovers = 39 pts (GD -22) Dumbarton automatically relegated.

irvine_buddie Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Even if we beat Raith on Saturday, it would really help us if Ayr drew with Hibs so they would still have everything to play for going into the Raith game. If they lose they are bottom due to their goal difference and if they win we can still finish bottom... mon the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys. I can't see Hibs losing their last two to be honest. I get that they have nothing to play for but they've only lost 3 games all season and still have players playing for contracts. I think it's unlikely that they'll lose two on the trot now. I also think we'll get a point at least from our two games. I will be on here quickly deleting this post on Saturday night if Ayr beat Hibs and we take an absolute pumping at United, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys. Shows what a close division it is when you could be bottom on 38 points. Bottom place in the last four seasons has had 21,25,26 and 22 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I can see us beating hibs and colapsing against raith. I have already resigned myself that we will be playing league 1 football next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, unless Ayr beat Hibs by 15 goals, we only need two draws to avoid finishing bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 When you look at the table as it was back then I'd have bitten my grans arm off to be in this position with 2 games to go. It's back in our hands, we are scoring goals, winning games and have clawed back an almighty gap from Raith. Absolute disgrace that Raith are in the mire with us and Ayr.Ayr haven't beat us this season in what, 6 games? We haven't beat Dumbarton but Ayr have taken so many points off them.It's been pretty crazy, we were something like 1/6 to finish bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I should make clear that I don't think for one second Dumbarton will actually finish 10th. Just wanted to highlight how incredibly tight it is with just two games left. That being said, referring back to previous seasons is fun but totally irrelevant. You're not playing in last year's league or the league in 2015. If 38 points isn't enough to stay up then you've failed, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I believe I'm right in saying that all four sides can still finish 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th. Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvine_buddie Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Just realised I've planned a BBQ for my girlfriends birthday on the Saturday of the playoff semi final 2nd leg. Even more pressure for Saints to do the business in the next 2 games or I'll be turning up late to a pissed off girlfriend and a burnt burger no doubt.

ayrmad Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 My odds for Ayr To finish 7th Roughly 218/1 shot. To finish 8th Roughly 38/1 shot. To finish 9th is a 6/1 shot and finishing 10th is a 1/5 shot. 14/1 shot that we finish 9th with a draw on Saturday and 33/1 that we finish 9th with a loss on Saturday.
