Wendy Saintss Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 We could win the next 4 rounds on penalties and hence win the cup.So that would be a record of played 8, won 1, drawn 7.The team we beat in the final could have a record of played 8, won 7, drawn 1.That’s the way the cookie crumbles!

"It’s a cup competition we never lost a game why shouldn’t we be in it" So I'd say the WC (which is a cup competition) is completely relevant in response to your statement. It's also very relevant in the sense that it's a cup competition with a league format. So, the prospect of going out without losing a game is very realistic. Your statement would only have made sense in a straight knock out competition. Not sure the relevance of the year. It's ok to admit you were wrong now. My statement made sense to the fact the topic was the Scottish league cup that has completely different rules and also as far as I’m aware st Mirren have never and will never make a World Cup. Oh wait I should of mentioned we were discussing st Mirren aswell my fault sorry again Is also more of a question than a statement to pedantic.... f**k question mark shoot me dead now Points finger ........ BANG ........... blows on end of finger and then places back in holster .........Bye bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were many scenarios that could have seen us go out without losing a game but let me give you a specific example. Had we only won 1-0 on Saturday and ICT had only lost 4-0 on Sunday, we would be out the competition without losing a game. NOW will you admit that your comment was stupid? Did I miss something? Is this a competition that YOU have to win? I think it fair to say everyone got your point possibly several posts ago and at end of day we won he is right Na na na na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyM Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 8 hours ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: I think the point he is making very clear. After you had correctly rubbished some nonsense about Belgium in the 1974 WC, he correctly pointed out that in fact Scotland had suffered that fate. So to use a slightly amended version of your statement............We didn't lose a game and were out of the cup. So if you are still in any doubt about this highly convoluted and ambiguous notion..... You suggest that not being beaten was a rationale for not being out of the cup. Someone else gave you an example of why that rationale is a load of bollocks. Here to help. Dearie me. Scotland did lose in the 1974 World Cup - to Czechoslovakia. Belgium on the other hand drew with Holland 0-0 home and away, won their other 4 games without conceding a goal but were papped out on goal difference. How is it possible to make so many errors in one sentence We are talking qualifying groups aren't we, here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible to make so many errors in one sentence We are talking qualifying groups aren't we, here? If I remember correctly, this was a favourite quiz question of the late, great, Alex Cameron - he loved it when folk answered "Scotland" to the question about the unbeaten team in the 74 World Cup who never even conceded a goal. Oddly, Hungary were unbeaten too (played 6, won 2, drew 4), and, to be completely fair, Scotland were the only unbeaten team in the '74 finals.

When someone mentions the 1974 World Cup, unless made clear, I think most people would immediately think of the finals. How often does a team go through a qualifying group with losing a game? Not often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally yes it would be for others to decide if something is amusing; or not, but given your superior attitude I just assumed that you had a sense of humour by-pass and it needed explaining. As for calling you a pric*, don't see the problem as you didn't seem to have any worries re ' why that rationale is a load of bollocks' and I considered your sarcastic 'Here to help.' worthy of deciding in my opinion that you are a pric*.

My responses to posts are mainly (I think) in a humorous manner, but I can be drawn in deeper if I am annoyed or offended enough. I don't always get everything right and if I'm wrong I will generally apologise and admit as such. I was going to add that it is not often that I am wrong; but that would be contrary to the intent of this post so let us just assume I didn't say that after all. Yes!

I’m not arrogant though. I’m a smart arse. There’s a difference. Smart arses are often wrong and have to admit to being so. Obviously not on this occasion though! Arrogant people (like Oaksoft) are as you say po faced and never admit they are wrong. Also arrogant people (like Oaksoft) do this other thing. When they post something twattish and everyone naturally rounds on them, they pretend they were being “humorous” As for you, I genuinely missed your humour on this thread mate, but that’s not to say you weren’t being so. I really really hope the misspelling of “bear” above was deliberate though, just to mock me Edited July 31, 2018 by TPAFKA Jersey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
