Given our current travails I would have thought we are no better than Decent Diddies. Mmmm Diddies. Was thinking the same. I am quite offended that Brechin are below both Cumbernauld and Airdrieunitedonians . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Raith are in that bracket where they're probably a bottom half of the championship team, similar to Morton/Ayr/QoTS etc. A very good year could easily see them or any of they clubs achieve a Hamilton or Livingston type success with their full time status. Normally though - bottom half of Championship/occasional stint in League 1.Brechin are extremely well run but I'd say Clyde and especially Airdrie (one of the bigger PT clubs) are bigger clubs with more potential.

St Johnstone has pushed on to be fair, but they are just an Ayr/Rovers/Accies who have had a continuous period of good fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 St Johnstone has pushed on to be fair, but they are just an Ayr/Rovers/Accies who have had a continuous period of good fortune. It's not really good fortune. They are extremely well run and for the most part have appointed the right manager at the right time. We could only dream to emulate their success in recent years.Certainly since I started supporting the club, we have been spoiled. Being in the premiership, winning the league Cup and playing in Europe was the perfect way to hook me in as a young boy. We've had some awful lows like the anelka debacle and the subsequent seasons where it took levein recommending a relative unknown in mcglynn to come in and turn us around. We had some relative success, the semi final, coming within 3 (?) games of winning the championship under him last time around. Even Murray won us the challenge cup in the best circumstances possible. If you look at those successes that most teams at this level could only dream of emulating then it's easy to see why we do expect to be doing better. We are a mid table championship team on paper who will spend the odd season down here (or 3/4) but we do have the potential to do a hamiltom/ livi etc aswell.

Try 1993-94 & 2001/02 In 1994, Arbroath's new manager won his first game in charge. The only highlight after that was only losing 3-2 to Dundee United in the cup. We didn't win another game until he f*cked off after his 14th game. We didn't draw many either. We were relegated to league 3. However, Raith gave him another chance in late 2001. He won 5 games out of 18, so was a good bit worse than the current incumbent. Raith finished bottom of old league 1and were relegated. Arbroath were only 13 points & 3 places clear of Raith that year. Who was that crap manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In tiers of clubs I'd only have Raith one tier above most clubs in this league. Massive time - Rangers/Sellik Big Time - Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, United Pretty big time - Dundee, Killie, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, St Johnstone, St Mirren 4th Half Decent but no quite diddies - County, ICT 5th Good Diddies - Morton, Ayr, QOTS, Raith, Hamilton, Livingston 6th Decent diddies - Airdrie, Arbroath, Dumbarton, East Fife 7th No bad Diddies - Alloa, Forfar, Montrose, Peterhead, Clyde, Stirling, Elgin 8th Slightly Diddier - Stenny, Brechin, QP, Edinburgh City, Annan, Berwick, Stranraer 9th Uber Diddies - Cowdenbeath, Albion Rovers That would be my personal Scottish football diddy tier There is no way the Arabs are in the "BIG TIME" section, Aberdeen averages about 14,000 with Hertz and Hibs 16-18,000 and the Arabs about 5-6,000 so they should be in the group below.

AFC360PUNK1320 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Anyway this page should be done and dusted now as it is history, the Red Lichties came to town demolished/out-sung/out drunk the Rovers so case closed. Best for us although everybody was excellent was TOB/Little/Whatley and McKenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts and Hibs are really miles ahead of Aberdeen I'm sure. 16/17 compared to 12. United clearly 6th biggest Scottish team for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
