People quoting heavily odds on prices on us making the top 6.
Is there such a bet as us not making the top 6 and if so, anyone know what the price is?

I previously said i think we can get 4th on GD if we at least match Killie's other results and beat them Post-split
It will be very tight though and is really not in our hands as they only have to draw against us and match our points from other games.
4th place would be great but only on it's own merits, Europe is an unnecessary drag on our pre-season and has proven a huge millstone for other clubs of our size in Scotland. We are 3 players short of a side capable of getting through qualifying and unless you qualify for the group stages it's a bit of a money pit.
In what way is that not in our hands? Surely it’s the very definition of in our hands?

I’ve let the play go on , celebrated the goal , waiting for the on field check , then the 5 minute review and been called to the pitch side monitor and have decided it’s still sh*t.
There's always two ways to look at it I suppose.
I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Olusanya's goal against Aberdeen twice!

I still think there’s a version of VAR that can work and that version is a massively simplified one.
First thing I’d do is bin the use of VAR for retrospective red cards. On field decision stands every time. For me that has ruined many a game.For offside, the rule needs to be changed to clear daylight. This would assist with two things being 1) decisions could be made pretty much instantly (no more standing around waiting) and 2) it would mean us having less cameras than they have in England wouldn’t be so much of a hindrance to decision making.
Penalty for a foul - I’m torn on this one between ditching it completely and going with on field decision or changing the rule from clear and obvious error (which frankly is f**king stupid in the first place as it’s totally subjective) to clear and obvious foul which should be a lot more straightforward. By clear and obvious foul I mean if you can’t see it clearly on first look then move on. A CLEAR foul should be visible from any angle.And finally handball. I still say the problem with the inconsistent decisions re handball are the fault of the incredibly f**king stupid rule rather than with VAR. The way the rule is at present it’s almost impossible for there not to be inconsistent, subjective decisions based on one person’s interpretation. So I’d say either come up with a far more categoric rule, or ditch it from VAR.
So I guess ultimately what I’m saying is that VAR can work if it’s used only for decisions that are a matter of fact, rather than a matter of opinion or interpretation.
VAR has been massively over engineered and it should be used in the same simplistic way as goal line technology.
I'm sure this simplified version of VAR would probably be a fair bit cheaper as well.

A fairly honest interview where he takes responsibility for his part in failing to get subs on quickly enough, but at the same time doesn’t miss the players which is fair enough.
The one thing missing from the interview for me is him taking responsibility for the starting line up in the first place. In my opinion neither, Flynn, O’Hara or McMenamin should’ve been starting the game.

You've always been wiser than most on here Jersey so I'm not surprised you weren't looking out your passport just yet, I thought we looked comfortable I didn't see that coming, but having been at the Hammarby game I probably should have
Architects of our own downfall again, first goal Mandron 6ft 3" gets out jumped by a midget in comparison to him he doesn't even get off the ground.
Then Flynn with another unnecessary challenge in the box when Gogic had him covered did the same against Hearts in May he's cost us more points than games that he's started in the last 12 months [take note Robo] and that 5th goal was a total embarrassment at any level,
But were still in the race 3 points from our next 3 very tough games should see us make top 6. anything more keeps us well in the race for 4th. don't see anyone outside the 2 arse cheeks winning all their 3 games
We have Killie at home after the split how sweet would it be with 4th place still up for grabs
What a Party that would be in Paisley
Absolutely still in it mate.
See you for the Hearts game in a few weeks. 👍

You say that, but they have only scored 3 more goals than us all season which means that before yesterday they had scored 2 less 🤷♂️

Other than elvis could anyone see us losing that game
Much as I hate to say it I could. And here is a WhatsApp conversation to prove it with my Killie supporting mate Malky which started a HT with his congrats message. 🤦♂️

Yep , Europe , with the early start and qualifying marathon, is the last thing we need. I'm happy to take the dosh for a top six place but couldn't give a hoot about Europe , not at this stage anyway !
Disagree with this. We are highly unlikely to be involved in a “qualification marathon”. We’d play two rounds max, which would be no different from having the 4 League Cup games.
Jesus if we don’t want European football, what’s the point of participating in the League. -
My IPTV stream is honkin today. Loads of buffering. It’s usually really good.

I know it’s a tough game but that’s a decent price on us surely??

Aberdeen are the gift that keeps on giving 🤣🤣
Also, Jambo in waiting Dhanda didn’t exactly endear himself to the Hibs fans when he scored that late equaliser. 🤣🤣
He was a bit naughty to say the least. Funny though 🤣

Yes, as much as I'm absolutely loving the Aberdeen carnage, I think my preferred result in that game is a draw, although if Ross Co can beat Hibs I'd be happy with a Dundee win as I'm less concerned about them than I am about Hibs (speaking from a European place POV rather than a top 6 one).
Was my first ever away game. I was behind the goal McGarvey scored in.
ETA - Bugger! Quoted the wrong post. Sure you knew what I meant. 😄

Tonights gamers, preferred results................
Dundee v Aberdeen HOME WIN (Loving the meltdown by Aberdeen fans, long may it continue.
Ross County v Hibs HOME WIN, sooner them hard nuts to crack, Livingston, are down the better.

Happy to see them lose their other two games against Livingston and Ross County to help with the meltdown.

Me and two mates ( Spencey and big Davy C ) ran a bus to the Aberdeen v St Mirren game in 1980 . A full bus left the cellar bar at £3.25 a ticket . Mind chapping the door of the guy who ran Carruth buses , who lived on Caledonia Street and agreeing to pay him in advance .
Ahhhh the good old Cellar Bar.
The first pub ever to serve me alcohol.
Before the Aberdeen cup semi at Parkhead in April 82.
I was 15 (although only a month before my 16th).

Yep, I was 14 at the time and travelled up on the train with my schoolmates as all the supporter buses were full.
They closed the gates just after me and my mates got in about 10 minutes before kick off, I never heard of any Saints fans who never made it in, but there was a few thousand Sheep supporters locked out. ( the joys of the old pay at the gate days ).
As you pointed out I think we would have won the league with wins in the last 4 games,
From a fading memory think we Lost 2-0 to Aberdeen, lost 2-0 to an already relegated Hibs, drew 0-0 with Celtic and beat Rangers 4-1.
Stop lying aboot yer age and trying to make it look like yer no an auld cant.
You were 16 in 1980 no 14. 😄

I didn't watch that game on Sportscene, so I'll take your word for it
McInnes seems very combative about it so it maybe emphasises the impact of him not playing..
On another note, I think the 2 week break is a good reset for us and we will be close to full strength for the first time in months. The game against Killie is massive for us (as is away to Motherwell) at this point as we will need a cushion going into the last 2 pre-split games. We should beat Motherwell if we can beat Killie, who are away at Tynecastle that day and at best looking at a point there, and I'd say that Killie have 2 very winnable fixtures in their last 2 pre-split games. I'd like to think we have the beating of Hearts at least once every season but a point in that one would do. If we can go into the split with a 3-6 point cushion over Killie then we really only need to beat them one more time and I'm guessing that the post-split game will be in Paisley.
Just said exactly the same thing to my mate about the break being a good thing for us. It also gives us the opportunity to bask in the glow of Saturday for an extra week too. 🤣
Killie game is huge. Hope we take a monster away support down there which there’s every chance we will.
Re the Hearts game, I’m hoping we’ve got the beating of them more than one time a season, because we’ve already beaten them once! 😄

We’ve seen this story before though haven’t we? Many, many times, most recently just against Livi a couple of weeks past.
Hopefully not the case but there certainly seems to be a trend of a way to get over a bad run of form… play us. 😂
We’ve also got a trend…..
Good, shite, good, shite, good, shite.
Let’s hope that trend continues for one more game 👍

Yup and I still think a draw in the Edinburgh derby was a perfect result for for us.
How absolutely enormous are the lolz at Aberdeen? 🤣🤣🤣Great night all round 👍

Indeed.
I think the last few games have proved this.
Olusanya has to start against Aberdeen.
I'd also have Baccus on from the start.
Agree about Olusanya.
Re Baccus, if he comes back in it can only be for CBM because there’s no way I’d drop Kwon. I think CBM played well enough against Livi and St. Johnstone to be forgiven an off night last night. Not in favour of dropping players for one bad game. I’d at least give him the first half of the Aberdeen game. If his form from last night continues on Saturday then he’s fair game for Baccus at half time.
It seems mental that we’re not even factoring in the return of Mark O’Hara. I guess we all remember the form he was in before his injury.
-
Just watched those highlights there and two things I never noticed at the match about Scott’s chance at the end.
1) I didn’t realise how well Olusanya did to set the chance up.
2) Just how abysmal Scott’s effort was. From our angle I didn’t realise he’d missed the target by so much.
St. Mirren v Hearts, 6th April 2024 - possible sell out?

If you were the type to ruthlessly bet against your own team (which I’m not) that could be a tasty blow softener.
