Not arguing that point. Nearly every Scottish Premier team in the 90s was a financial haemorrhage, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 My first season was the relegation season in 91/92. The next year a certain young man named Basher broke through and things were never the same since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a ridiculously tight league. In many ways the Championship still is. Not sure 2 or 3 points for a win makes all that difference! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure 2 or 3 points for a win makes all that difference! Actually, yeah, doesn't change much. Points totals adjusted below for 3 point wins. Figures in brackets show the points gain over the team immediately below. Top six are slightly more spread out, but not as much as I was expecting. Big winners were Bankies who would have overtaken Ayr (though I've left them where they were on the below for clarity.) Raith 90 (+4) Killie 75 (-1) Pars 74 (+1) Saints 72 (+2) Accies 69 (=) Ton 67 (+7) Ayr 60 (-1) Bankies 61 (+2) Sons 52 (+4) Stirling Albion 46 (=) Meadowbank 43 (+8) Beath 16 (It's pishing down and I had lunch at my desk so this filled a few minutes!)

Some achievement when you consider the only other sides that haven't been relegated in that time are Aberdeen, Celtic and Motherwell And even then Aberdeen and Motherwell both only survived on technicalities because of Falkirk. Aberdeen avoided a three way playoff with only the bottom team going in the first division. Stop perpetuating lies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Cant believe we've signed Jacksepticeye. What a fucking coup and the exposure brought in by his 20 million+ YouTube subscribers will certainly get eyes on us. Dunno how good at centre-half he is right enough. Hear he's getting announced with PewDiePie (a massive right winger) tomorrow. (Bit of satire for all you millennial types out there, get a fucking job. ) Edited July 31, 2019 by djchapsticks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
