Callum Gilhooley Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Wow ! What a championship next year . Hibs ,Hearts , Falkirk & Cowdenbeath in the same league !! Gonna be a cracker . Oh, & newco. Quote
Dirty Sanchez Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 This is just ridiculous. How they managed to get relegated from the comfortable position they were in, firstly in the league, and then in the play off, is inexcusable. If ever there was situation where heads deserved to roll this is it. I'm thrilled it was that arsehole Kevin Thomson who missed the vital kick. One of the most all round despicable wankers ever to set foot on a pitch. Quote
Big Jake Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Fantastic result. Now for imrie to sign for Accies again and we can get into his mince again :-) Quote
whydowebother Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I wasn't sure if it was unfair that in order to get promoted the championship team had to play 6 games after the season end. Risk of injuries/suspension/fatigue etc. Perhaps though momentum played a factor ? Either way Accies done well especially after losing the 1st leg. Quote
Barney63 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 On that showing Hibs should have absolutely no trouble getting out of the Championship straight away next season......down the way. Quote
Dirty Sanchez Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 "That fitba team goat relegated, and naebody leaves here till we fun oot whit c*nt done it". Quote
simondsmfc Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Hilarious... f**k you Kevin Thompson, Ryan McGivern and Irvine welsh.... Your from the capital your playing in the championship... Quote
Julian Banjos Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Incredible. 1 win between February and May and they would have been out of it. Couldn't do it. Defend a 2-0 lead at home. Couldn't do it. Was reading there that the Scottish league will be the only one in Europe without a capital city team in the top league. Quote

Don't know where you're getting that from, Premiership teams played 2 more league games than Championship, Hamilton only had the two play-off games against Falkirk so they've played the same number of games as each other.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Love my days out to Edinburgh for the footie and will miss it. Also Hearts and Hibs bring big supports so wonder if that will affect the budget. Bloody hell just thinking about it the first division or whatever it's called these days will have a bigger attendance than the top flight. Quote
Dirty Sanchez Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 This now means that Hibs and Hearts both have more relegations than us since the Premier League started. Us 2 Hibs 3 Hearts 4 That would come as a surprise to the many who associate us with relegation and nothing else. Quote

I meant after season end. I should of stated the 4 games inbetween the 2 against Hibs. I stand corrected , cheers Quote

Bloody hell just thinking about it the first division or whatever it's called these days will have a bigger attendance than the top flight. I doubt we budget on a hibs away support. Also, I look at it another way; with Hamilton, at best, aiming for 11th/12th we can fight it out for 7th to 11th and it's now an even split between west of Scotland clubs and north/east clubs - slightly less travel.

BaldyOzBud Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Just got up to do an early shift and looked at the SPFL site for the score.. JEEZO!! Lets all laugh at the hibees, GIRFUY Kevin Thomson! I'm going to be laughing all day Quote

Yes , the size & enthusiasm of the Embra supports will be missed. Accies simply cant compete on that front. However, both those teams are where they are because they deserve to be. One for being financial frauds, one for being footballing frauds. As i said, it will be a very interesting Championship next year ! OK, i might admit , one of my "frauds" might have been a tad over the top........what i actually i meant was cheating bastards living beyond their means while the whole f**kin world could see they were a financial meltdown waiting to happen.

Al Bundy Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I hope the family of Douglas Rae have hidden all sharp objects from him as that's 6 potential money spinners Mor*on are missing out on. Oh well. Quote
pozbaird Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Downsides: Travelling Hibs fans would have brought more into St Mirren coffers than Hamilton fans will do. Hamilton is a shithole, Edinburgh isn't. Upsides: No Hearts and Hibs means two tough away venues for us to try and get points at are no longer on our schedule. Hearts and Hibs are not in as strong a position to attract signings that we also might be interested in. In theory, Dundee and Hamilton are clubs we can realistically be looking to finish above, easing relegation / playoff fears next season. Again, in theory! We should be aiming for a higher league placing, with increased finishing place money negating the loss of visiting Embra' fans. Kevin Thompson fcuked it up. Terry Butcher fcuked it up. Fish, The Proclaimers, Andy Murray, and assorted other shite celebrity fans will be greetin' into their Bovril. Three into two doesn't go... The Rangers, Hearts and Hibs all cannot come up. One will probably do it automatically, one might do it through the playoffs, one of them at least will spend at least another season in the Championship. It has made Celtic's stroll to next season's title an even bigger bore for their fans than might have been expected - no away days at atmospheric Tynecastle and Easter Road... So, I think I have already proved that the upsides vastly outnumber the downsides, so if our BoD think this is an excuse to shout 'armageddon lite!' and slash budgets.... Finally. Hibs. Nearly pished myself laughing. 'There's no way Hibs will be dragged into the relegation dogfight'.... 'There are too many teams below Hibs, and they all have to play each other'....etc, etc. No, sorry... Really finally, if we are linked with any of their shite squad of feckless bottle merchants, Tommy Craig, just say NO. Quote
bluto Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Just seen the score. Couldn't have happened to a better manager. He's an expert on relegation. Quote
