Stuart Dickson Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 St Mirren now cannot finish in the bottom two. The permutations of results prove that beyond all doubt. So let me take this opportunity to congratulation the team, Danny Lennon, and everyone associated with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moustache of Hyslop Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Are you sure? I've probably made an error to feel free to correct me but I think this run of results would see us in the bottom two: Killie v Hearts - home win Ross County v Hibs - home win Hearts v Partick - away win Killie v St. Mirren - home win Hibs v Killie - home win Partick v Ross County - away win St. Mirren v Hearts - away win I think the table would be: Ross County - 40 Killie - 39 Partick - 38 Hibs - 38 St. Mirren - 38 Based on current goal difference and the above sequence of results then we'd probably finish in the play off spot on goal difference. The games would need to go exactly as described above. I think the probability of that happening is next to nothing. Try putting that run of results on at a bookies and see what odds you would get. One draw in 7 games ends it. Of course, this is all presuming the very worst. Far more likely is for us to finish in 7th spot comfortably. No need for any more arse twitching!

Moustache of Hyslop Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Killie v Hearts is actually Hearts v Killie. Thanks! Is that the only error? Does anyone disagree with my analysis? Is there any scenario that would be even worse? This is all hypothetical by the way in case any cunt blows a fuse. I don't for a minute that we'll go down. Just interested in the maths.

I will give you 10 to One pm me Just 10/1 for a 7 team accumulator involving matches between closed matched teams? Don't take any chances now Lochwinnoch. I don't need to work it out properly to now that the true odds are nearer 1,000/1 than 10/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find one tbh, however if you turn RC v Hibs into a draw however I think it is still possible on GD Hearts v Killie- away win Ross County v Hibs - draw Hearts v Partick - away win Killie v St. Mirren - home win Hibs v Killie - home win Partick v Ross County - away win St. Mirren v Hearts - away win I think the table could be: Hibs -39 Killie - 39 Partick - 38 Ross County - 38 St. Mirren - 38 Tell me if my maths is wrong- it's been a long day!

pozbaird Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 My calculations tell me that the only way we can finish 11th is if Hearts are unable to fulfil their final fixture and their place is taken by Hammarby IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Even if Killie get the win at Tynecastle, a Hibs win over Ross County on Tuesday still sees us safe before we next kick a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 We can only now end up 11th on goal difference, and that relies on us losing both our remaining games and another pile of results all going against us. Like so; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Kilmarnock must WIN tomorrow to keep us in any danger. If they draw or lose tomorrow there is no permutation of results that could see everyone catch us. All moot anyway, we're on the 7th place express !

E=Mc2 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 We can only now end up 11th on goal difference, and that relies on us losing both our remaining games and another pile of results all going against us. Like so; doomsday-scenario.JPG 1 - 0 defeats for us with the other scores staying the same would still put us in the play offs due to us having scored less goals than the others on 38 points.
