Sounds about right, but we're worse off than you.

When do you and Patrick Thistle play your respective games in hand?

We play Ayr away a week on Tuesday.

[LauriestonBairn]

Quite fancy taking in the snake derby next Saturday seeing as we have no game. What end to sit in is the burning issue though
 
It's still possible for the Pars to go down but it would take a heck of a bizarre set of results requiring Dundee United, Ross County, Inverness and Ayr all losing their games against the bottom six
If they get a point against Queen's next Saturday that should make them mathematically safe given their superior goal difference over everyone else
 

You’ll need inoculations if you’re sitting in with the Morton fans.

I could have too much fun with that. (Yes I need to get out more)

[parsforlife]

You can still make third place. That isn't happening either

Correct, just thought I'd put try out an example of our worst possible results. Everyone winning games vs top 4 etc.

Feel less confident that we will end up 5th now, but that combination of results is very unlikely.

Which they can get from the home end as they are usually injecting something before the game anyway

I was more than a touch disappointed in your Ayr 0 - 7 Partick  prediction 

Queens are utterly rank. You should at the very least not get beaten by them next week

[TheScarf]

Yeah so like I said, a set of results that have odds of about 1000000/1. Dunfermline aren't going down. 

[Donathan]

Are Ayr likely to rest players for the rest of the regular season or do they care about playing for home advanatage in the second leg against ICT? They've still to play Partick twice and Alloa so Falkirk/QOS/Morton could really do with Ayr putting a shift in.

Some would argue our players have been resting since Christmas. 

Probably yes as our schedule, should we go all the way to the final is ten games in 36days. In saying that we don't have many players available to come in.

[North Terrace Gazza]

70k difference in prize money between 3rd and 4th so doubt we’ll rest too many

Imagine how awkward it would be if our game in hand was against a team with nothing to play for and were managed by a Thistle fan with questionable morals.

lol

And yet it's taken a penalty for you to beat us over 4 attempts. Shows the (lack of) quality in the division I suppose.

Deflect, deflect, deflect

 

So you agree with me then. Queen's are utterly rank

[19QOS19]

Yep, and the fact it's taken a penalty for the best Ayr side in years to beat us shows how low on quality this division is this season.

Probably more a reflection on our inability to break down teams who sit in and play for draws.

Be interesting to see how teams such as yourselves who have been playing anti-football, cope with actually having to try and win games. That's what I like about Alloa. They actually try and win, and it looks as though that is paying dividends right now.

[Mark Connolly]

It would be absolutely accurate to say the standard hasn't been great in the Championship this season, but as usual it is delivering in terms of excitement.

The stuff at the bottom of the league is absolutely brilliant.

How long did you spend raking up that pile of shite? You’re not finishing 10th!

The best sides find a way of breaking those sides down. Tbh I can only recall two times Ayr broke through us in 4 meetings. If we could defend crosses we wouldn't be in this mess. Sitting in hasn't been our problem as very few sides have cut us open. Being unable to fecking mark is what is going to send us down. Absolute amateurs.
