munoz Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Didn't think the fermers were going to win 3 in row. Utd should be out of the equation at the weekend after they play Celtic. The Sainteeees face a difficult game against Hibs( albeit with home advantage). We can secure our top 6 place even if we lose to Rangers.

Guest Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Think Saints will make 6th place but what a fecking laugh on here it would be if not. The meltdown from some would be something special!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a long two weeks between the Sevco & Accies games if the Fakes beat Hibs on Saturday. Jack Ross - if that kiss 👄 meant anything don't lose on Saturday...

Danish Buddie Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 My personal opinion is we will finish 5th now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Lots of talk about St. J and United here, but I’m still looking up as well as down so great to see Livi losing tonight too. Would be great if a Motherwell team who look like they may have started to turn the corner could beat them on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not understanding the angst about this. We've lost 2 in our last 10 and unbeaten in six. We're hardly on a dreadful run. Saintees and Utd are unlikely to win their remaining games. Top six will be confirmed before we even travel to Hamilton. St Johnstone will draw with Hibs and Utd will lose to or draw with Celtic.

That doesn't detract from the fact we are where we are because of the WHOLE season, something I've always said is the real assessment of our progress. Our results recently haven't been "dreadful" but our performances have been, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t fancy our chances if we’re needing a win over Accies in the last match.Keeping my fingers crossed that Hibs do is a turn on Saturday - would be about time - and that Celtic and Dons find their shooting boots against United.

Jimmy H Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Assuming we finish 6th, that’ll mean 5 games remaining after the spilt, by my reckoning we’ve already played Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen away twice, and Celtic and Livvy away once, so in theory that should give us 3 home games and 2 away. But by my calculations after 33 games we would have played 17 home and 16 Away. Does that mean that we will need to play someone away from home 3 times to balance it out to 19 home and 19 away over the season 🤷♂️ How the feck do they work out who we play, or do we benefit by getting 20 home and 18 away over the season. Apologies if I’ve worked that out wrong. Edited March 4, 2021 by Jimmy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy H Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Apologies I think I’ve got it wrong as we’ve played Hibs at home twice, assuming we finish top 6 after the split it will be Rangers and Aberdeen at home, with Celtic, Livy and Hibs away.

They try at the formulation stage of arranging the fixtures to guess using previous years positions who will be top 6.Thereby attempt to assure everyone an equal amount of home and away fixtures against each opponent.Think we might have screwed it depending on who they thought would be top 6 instead of us.

Yeah good point, so that’ll probably mean the bottom six will be unbalanced as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren has suffered from this in the bottom half in previous seasons. It's a weird one but there is rationale behind it, and it's ok as it won't hurt the Twin Cheeks.

JPB1957 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi just joined. Living abroad and retired from the army. We will finish top 6 but it could be a nervous last game, The old goal difference could come into it but we will win at Hamilton and the farmers can't catch us. Then a battle with Livi for 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its well seen your not a regular at Saints home games- " dreadful /unbeaten in 6 " that doesn't equate to us that travel to games I have seen performances from us that would make Albion Rovers look like Barcelona Does anyone remember our first game down in 1991 at Raith- eh 7-0 , I was fecking there …. At least FAS you will be chuffed that we have at least 4 more games against the Dons coming up this season and next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
