Jacksgranda Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 minute ago, Dundee Hibernian said: United lost to the old Rangers at Tannadice and Celtic at Parkhead in two of these matches, the game in Glasgow being the more annoying in that a 'contentious' penalty late on, among other things, gave Celtic the two points. There was a four point difference at the end of the season, but I don't think many (any) United fan thought the title was on after the Tannadice loss to Rangers. It had been a bruising encounter to say the least, yet I don't think the referee booked a single player. Surprised to read about a "contentious" penalty... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Aren't Ayr United in a similar position with the condition of Somerset Park? Edit - just read the following "It was confirmed that the SPFL statutes only required grounds to have 'bronze standard' facilities (500 covered places), meaning Somerset would be accepted as a Premiership venue with minimal improvement" - Confused! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Don’t forget Gretna playing at Fir Park also. Total farce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was at the time of the SFL and SPL merger that the stringent rules were abolished. Somerset would be fine for the top flight. Same applies to Cappielow and Gayfield (had Arbroath been promoted last year). That's not to say those grounds aren't in need of improvement in places, but terracing is much better and would make a welcome change to the top flight's all seater stadia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 St Johnstone well and truly throwing their hat into the relegation ring with a home thumping by Livingston today. Five defeats on the bounce for the Saintees now. They’re just four points above 11th and they’ve played a game more than the three teams below them. Can Davidson survive this latest setback? Motherwell and United both conceding late equalisers today. A draw is not a good result for any of those four teams involved really. County need wins soon, or they will be cut off at the bottom. Johnson’s Hibs still look more than capable of doing a Butcher. United and Motherwell still in the thick of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don’t think St Johnstone are completely out this relegation battle yet. There are some utterly shite teams in the league this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our game with County today would get football stopped. Us and County will be the bottom 2. It just remains to be seen in what order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It would appear County are done and dusted, Killie clinging on. Could probably see Motherwell, St Johnstone or Dundee Utd slip into the playoffs if any of them hit bad form 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broughty Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 We are trying to give the other teams time to catch up. That’s the Davidson way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the f**k did they notice Scottish football exists? And why? Anyway, if Nate Silver says County are down then I reckon we'll go on to win the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, ATLIS said: Absolutely seems like it, we're at about 78% for a top 5 finish which carries a good chance of European football 31 points in January means there is essentially a 0% chance you'll be in bottom two. It would take a biblical collapse by Livi and a mental run by both County and Motherwell to haul you back, not factoring in every team below you all performing better than you between now and season end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Its still incredibly close. County have two games at home against Hibs and Killie coming up. Win those and they're probably out of the bottom 2. Any of the bottom 5 could still go down IMO though United are probably the one side out of them that could go on a run and even make a late push for top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue why, but it seems to be decently reliable in the time I've followed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
