If Forfar and East Fife are awarded 3-0 walkovers then we finish bottom and will be relegated having played 8 games! I'll be surprised if we restart after 3 weeks and unless the season is extended then no way it will be finished. Will end up another farce like the summer. That would leave us wit ha situation where a. we would be punished for players becoming ill in a pandemic trying to do their job and b. the spfl realising that there is a serious pandemic and cutting short the league in case people got ill trying to do their job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still finish ahead of Forfar as presumably we would get 0.9 points from the postponed Thistle game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right . I was thinking, if 2 x 3-0 defeats were given against us, we'd then have "played" the same number of games as Forfar - but I forgot that would mean they would then have 9 points from 11 games, whereas we would have 9 points from 10, and on a points per game basis we would finish ahead of them. Well done, you've managed to bring a smile to my face - for the first time since the announcement earlier today . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be hammered. I see that St Mirren and Kilmarnock have had their 3-0 defeats turned into fines; £10k with £10k suspended. In terms of league games, that's a number of times that has happened (e.g. Napoli in Italy had a 3-0 defeat against Juventus turned into a re-arranged tie). Without knowing any details of how we may have erred (if we did), you'd imagine it would now be a financial penalty if anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accept the defeat v East Fife and then play Forfar IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Here just thinking randomly, remember Conor Quinn's debut against Ayr? What a performance that was. Didn't realise at the time he was only 18 too. Shame he seems to have dropped out the game, hope he's doing well these days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Jay Henderson's loan spell has ended and he's in his way back to St Mirren.Danny Lennon is quoted on the OS as saying "He didn't get as much game time as he hoped and that was more down to me and the system we wanted to play, rather than him"Why then take him in loan?Surely you sign loan players for your desired formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 We've signed plenty of wingers and then quickly realised that we are better playing down the middle of the pitch, with the players in question quickly relegated to the bench. Eddie Ferns, Darren Smith, Adam Martin, Ross Lyon, Gregg Wylde, possibly even Chris Johnston (although he does play inside more often than not). Even Scott Banks didn't really fit in for most of his loan spell. I can only assume we got him cheap because of DL's connection to St Mirren. Henderson had a bit of pace and trickery but would only ever go on the outside. He'll not make a career at any sort of a level unless he adds a bit more variety to his game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Sums up our season so far I suppose. He played about 40 mins of football for us, not his fault I know. But I’m totally scunnered with this season, it could just go into hibernation till next August as far as I’m concerned. Lost all interest in football just now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
