  1. I think even a draw in that game is enough.

    I've done some quick stats and I think there is a sequence of results which could see Killie & Ross County finish above us with Hibs, Partick & St. Mirren tied on goal difference.

    Can't work out a sequence where we can be overtaken beyond goal difference.

    But it would have to be an incredible run of results for this to happen. If any of the remaining 7 games are drawn then I think its over.

    Well done for working that out. I had a stab at it but gave up and decided just to let my arse twitch for another four days.

  2. HT 0-0.

    Even game really I guess. We started brighter, County finished brighter. A couple of half chances for either side but nothing clear cut.

    Definitely a bit of needle here. Slew diving anytime anyone goes near him, Adams screaming like a wean anytime anything goes against them.

    Big second half coming up, come on!

    Thanks for the regular updates Lex. I'm reading this from almost 5,000 miles away and you're pretty much all I've got. I'm also reading Sporting Life updates, but they are about 5 minutes behind real time and they ain't telling me the bits I really need to know.

  3. I know this season ain't over yet, but northendsaint mentioned on the, "Jim Goodwin on the Radio", thread that Declan Hughes looks ready to step up to the first team, and some discussion followed about having to bring him in gradually rather than drop him in at the deep end.

    I figure that pre-season frendlies are the ideal opportunities to do this with younger players and also trialists looking to get a contract. However, in recent years, our choice of pre-season opposition has hardly set the pulse racing, or set a high standard against which to measure youngsters or prospective signings.

    Long time gone, but not forgotten, were the days when we brought major attractions to Paisley - especially in the days of the Paisley Cup. Personally, I'd like to see us return to the days where we lined upo a couple of games that would attract more interest and provide stiffer tests than the like of Dumbarton (no offence) and teams from the Skrill League.

    I'm not suggesting we try to bring the elite of Europe to Paisley, but perhaps we could be bringing up mid-table English Premiere clubs - like we eventually did last year with Newcastle. I always felt we never made the best of connections with former players & managers, like Stevie Clarke and Aelx Miller - both in terms of arranging friendlies and also in getting loan players. Hopefully Stevie finds a new club in the Premiership and we can start to take advantage of that.

    Does anyone know of any reason why the Paisley Cup could not be re-introduced?

  4. Don`t see how . The team finishing in 11th has to wait two weeks with no competitive football before they take on a team that has won through two previous ties & are on a roll

    And therefore have two weeks to get injured players fit, while the team they play has had four cup-tie style games where their players could easily lick up bad knocks.

    On that subject, would red or yellow cards, picked up by the Championship teams in the qualifying games, rule them out of the final play-off games against the Premier League side?
