In my eyes play-offs should involve all teams requiring the same number of games to gain promotion; and the unfairness of finishing 3rd or 4th in the Championship make the play-offs ridiculous. The SFA needn't reinvent the wheel, just copy any of the major leagues in Europe (with the exception of the 10 team play-offs in Eredivisie). I personally think the English Premiership has the best play-offs, with a two-legged semi followed by a final at the national stadium, but that would necessitate a two-up two-down situation, and the Premier league teams will never vote for that. 19 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Can only assume hes getting excuses in early. You read my post and thought it was an excuse for something? Bizarre. 7 hours ago, David W said: Came on here to post the same. This is not a comedy comment; I genuinely feel he'd benefit from another season on loan. He had a few games where he made errors defensively or struggled to have an impact. Absolutely no doubt that in our biggest game for years he stepped up to the mark though; a sensational individual performance to open up a very defensive Annan time and time again. I hope we send him back out on loan to Cyde for the whole of next season; if he is not ready for first team football on a weekly basis, there is no better place for a player than returning to a team he knows well (like we did with Willo Flood back in the day). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I don’t think the teams finishing 3rd and 4th in a 10 team league can complain that much at having a chance of promotion. 4th is pretty much mid table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha ha ha HOPEFULLY Hopefully indeed, but 3 at least. The 4th obviously depends on our and St Johnstone's placing after the split.* *There is a possibility there might be 4 games against Dundee. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loemba90 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Imagine they’ll now be selling tickets for the part of the shed nearest the Jim McLean stand (which had the big flag covering it last Friday). with 7000 tickets already sold we should be looking at about 9,500 united fans on Thursday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It won't sell out. I understand that United have shifted almost 8,500 home tickets thus far, so you're probably looking at around 10,000 total by Thursday. GF+Eddie+Shed is circa 10,500 From a utilitarian pov, we could give the Jerry Kerr to St Mirren. From a competitive pov, nae danger! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspianChris Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Things are looking up and are nice and positive just now and long may that continue. It is good to have an owner who cares about the club, especially after the lack of interest from Thompson who only wanted his money back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Robbie might have wanted a couple more players but I suppose it may also depend on who we can move it first. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap in 94 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Does he mean 4 players have already been signed and will be announced soon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
