Here are the next round of games Fixtures for Saturday 22nd April: Dundee United v St Mirren Dunfermline Athletic v Falkirk Morton v Ayr United Queen of the South v Dumbarton Hib v Raith is postponed till midweek (Wed 26th) due to Hibs SCSF - this might work to our advantage if we can get draw or better and move above Raith who will then have to play 2 games in 4 days. Dumbarton face QotS who are not (realistically ) involved in either the play-off or relegation battles, you'd fancy Dumbarton to be more motivated however having to chase a game might not suit them. I'll be praying to the Gods of Prog Rock for results to go in our favour! Edited April 16, 2017 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 With Morton in freefall QotS and Dunfermline might think the improbable is possible so QotS have motivation to win v Dumbarton. It would be nice for the manky mob to get their act together and Dumbarton to slip up combined with us getting a positive result v what is, on the strength of yesterday's performance, a poor DU side.

Think they will be up for it if they are still in with a chance. i.e. If the soap dodgers loose at home to Ayr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people always win big because they get in when the odds are very favourable. The bookies make their money because the odds shorten once the event being bet on starts becoming or threatens to become popular. Seriously, why do you not know this? Its a bit like TC and a former forum resident ensuring they continually change change the goalposts in order to be able to claim they are correct about something. I seem to recall a ludicrous post about the season being a disaster because we were still at the bottom of the league in March for the first time ever. This was right in the middle of one of our best runs for years. Edited April 23, 2017 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Lothian Saint Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) I didn't work this out myself. I found the info on facebook but "Raith beat Hibs, St Mirren beat Raith, Ayr beat Hibs, Dumbarton lose to Utd then Ayr beat Raith, St Mirren draw with Hibs and Dumbarton draw with Falkirk All 4 teams will have 39 points" (albeit Ayr's goal difference is terrible) Exciting stuff! what's the odds on all that happening Edited April 24, 2017 by East Lothian Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all those results come off will we be more annoyed at the fact St Mirren finished bottom equal than the fact we never stuck a quid on the bet.
