Your logic is the same as saying that - if I buy a ticket in the national lottery I'll either win or lose. 
Therefore it's fifty fifty. 
What you're doing is thinking that I've got a ticket which is a loser and someone else has a ticket that is a winner, it could have been the other way about therefore fifty fifty. 
Where you're going wrong is that you're not taking into account all of the other tickets that are losers. 

Four teams go into the playoffs, one gets promoted,the other don't. One in four is promoted. 
Out of four teams three stay down and one goes up - which is three to one
25% of the teams in the playoff is promoted, 75% are not. In other words 1 in 4 or 3 to 1. 
If you were asked to give a definition of the expression 3 to 1 and were asked to do so by means of an example then this playoff process would be an ideal means of achieving that objective

I was talking to a Spanish guy tonight. He was meaning to say Aberdeen but actually said aubergine. 

Am I the only one who remembers YEET. Young east end team?  

I'm sure could have had Peter Houston as manager. 
When we punted Lennon he was out of work and looking for a job. 
If we'd made the right decision then, I'm quite sure we'd still be in the SPL. 

Have you any idea of the answer of the question - life, the universe and everything?

Will be later if there's extra time. 

A happy buddie tonight. This is what we have been waiting for, a win in the league and something to kick start our season. The dressing room will be buzzing and the bus journey home will be a happy one. Get the players to savour this feeling and want it more as a group game after game.

We need to stop conceding so many cheap goals though as it's killing us. As others have said if we can pick 4 or 6 points from our next 2 games then conceivably we could be going into the Morton game before end of the year with a chance of getting off bottom spot.

Stay positive fellow buddies and get down to St Mirren Park on Saturday and back the buds.

Stranglers:  Go Buddy Go. 
 

I thought he'd signed for us.

How many points behind will we be if we beat them by a narrow margin?

Alloa, who have only six games left, are 20 points behind us and not able to get ahead of us.
Automatic relegation avoided for this season????

Haha I see what you did there.

What's Reg Brearley up to these days?

Interesting to see Billy Johnston or Billy Jo Spears as we used to call him, listed as both a full back and a sub.
By the way I remember the game - Peter Leonard's finest 15 minutes in a Saints shirt, or any other shirt for that matter.

My dad used to take back in the sixties. I've no idea what my first game would've been.
We used to go on the terracing and wander round at half time so we were always behind the goals Saints were shooting in to.
As a wee kid the football wasn't going to hold my attention for 90 minutes but that was OK because there were plenty of ring pulls from beer cans lying about the ground. With a bit of practice you could use the springy hole covering bit to fire the circular fingery bit into the distance frisbee style.
When watching the game we liked to sit on the low wall seperating the terracing from the track. A couple of coppers had the job of wandering round the track during the game and they alway had to tell you to get your feet on the other side of the wall. That of course meant facing away from the pitch, not what we wanted then although we'd probably be fine with it now.

Interesting programme, based on a film and book of course. By the TV show was being made plenty of people in prominent positions in the States had loads to say about America's involvement in Vietnam but any references they wanted to make about that were very heavily censored by the authorities.
The makers of MASH used the Korean setting as a means of getting round the censorship and making the points they wanted.

Most enjoyable day out I've ever had a a game of football.
Hyslop and their goalie were sent off 5 minutes before half time. Should've been McDowall instead of Hyslop but the ref never got a proper view of the handbags.
They put a wee short-arse called Townsend in goal, he was playing his last ever game for them before emigrating to Australia. We were 2 - 0 down at the time but Bobby Reid got one back before the break, they put someone else in goal for the second half but we ran riot.
I can remember with about 5 minutes to go we were 5 - 2 up and their fans were streaming towards the exits. However they hesitated a bit when Ritchie made it 5 - 3 and they were ready to be right up for it again when straight from the kick-off they nearly scored a fourth. That was it though, within seconds we were scoring at the other end and their terracing was instantly deserted.

The fans wanted him out. Him leaving was the right thing for the club. The board......who knows what they're thinking, but the fans don't trust them to do the right thing.
Abusing him today was the only means they had of achieving their objective.
I wasn't there but from what I read on here, if the reaction had been polite clapping and "never mind old chap, better luck next week" then he'd still be there.
In other words it was nasty but job done.
And from his point of view, yes it was a sore one, but not physically. He's still got his health, all his facilities are intact, he'll get over it and probably quite quickly. There's a lot worse can happen to people than having some football fans shouting abuse at you for a few minutes.
