Well you responded 'get real' to our predictions of 18 points from the next 24.. so it was implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well you responded 'get real' to our predictions of 18 points from the next 24.. so it was implied. Yes and if you think people are only allowed to predict wins then that's also wrong.Out of the next 8 league games we won't win 6 and draw 2 & if you think we will ? I suggest you get your arse to the bookies.Most people predict how they see a game go , not just win because it's our team.I'd back Faraway's option over the nonsense suggesting that in the next 8 games we will complete a 10 match unbeaten league run.

We'll come back and check this in a few weeks. Indeed.We are 4 points adrift at the bottom and in a worse position than we were the day Ross was appointed.Talk of anything other than staying up at this stage is premature in the extreme.

It looks like your trying to make something from nothing. If you really believe we will get 18 points from the next 8 games I, and the bookies, would disagree. I am not in any "Elvis" type way enjoying the fact that we are a bottom of the league team and, as such, it would be a fecking miracle if we amassed 18 points. Now, my view is based on our current overall league position, not the last 2 games. I think anyone who really believes we will somehow turn into a team capable if this kind of run is fecking deluded. Time will tell and I won't gloat if it turns out I am correct as I'm sure you will not burst into tears, will you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I've been watching St.Mirren for almost 40 years now and that period has taught me two valuable life lessons; 1) NEVER assume St.Mirren will win (or indeed lose) any single game of football. 2) Short corners don't work. There endeth the lesson according to your old da. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets tedious reading the doom and gloom tho, anytime anyone says anytihng remotely positive it gets pounced on. We've won our last 2 games let's try and be a bit optimistic. If I predict us to go on a decent run and I end up looking daft cos we lose most of them then so be it but I'd rather that than be a moaning doom merchant.

If this comes true, and someone sticks a fiver on it they will be flippin rich. As I said, nothing's impossibly, but getting 18 points, or more, from the 8 games is. I'm only being realistic. We have won 2 games all season, yes the last 2, but to expect to..................ach, ok, we'll win them all. Incorrect; it's actually 8 games. 3 hours ago, TopCat said: Indeed.
