Most folk don't want to read these petty quarrels, there should be a separate sub-forum for them. But, FWIW, you don't 'win' arguments on here, you just make yourself look like a walloper - aimed at nobody in particular, btw. I presume the fixtures will be published imminently. I would imagine the SPFL would want St. Johnstone v Dundee last, in case it's a decisive fixture. Alternatively, we might play the Fakes on the same day, for the same reason. The most interesting bottom six for a while. 5 teams playing to avoid second last place. Competitive, as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Looking at the table, only the top 3 teams in the league have positive goal differences. The rest are negative. That surely is unusual? Ours is better than St Johnston and Dundee so theoretically worth a point in the event of a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that if we "tie" with these teams on points we would have conceded a few more goals than them, thus negating the slight, 3 goals over St Johnstone, advantage we currently hold.

All conjecture at this point. Another 4 points could be enough to leave Dundee behind. Another 9 could see off St Johnstone. Present form doesn’t inspire confidence but overall we have lost fewer games than any of the teams in the bottom six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portmahomack saint Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Will be a few of us biting our nails waiting on the split fixtures coming out, I really don't see us winning any of the 5 games the we way are playing, reckon we will have to hope the other teams take care of St Johnstone to stop them getting the 6 to 8 points they'll need to catch us. Worse case scenario for me is that we get them first game... lose it were going to the playoff for sure we already look like a team that's imploded and have little to offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hopefully, we get the opportunity to play St Johnstone and officially put them in the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 If it hasn't already been said, a club from St Mirren, Aberdeen and Livingston will have to switch venue with Dundee to even up more the home/away games.Eta, not Aberdeen think they've only played 15 at home whilst ourselves and Livingston have played 16.

Looks like what I read was a load of [emoji90]https://spfl.co.uk/news/press-release-08-apr-22The post-split fixture list will then be announced during a two-week break in cinch Premiership matches for the Scottish Cup semi-finals, with fixture round 34 taking place onthe weekend of 23/24 April.“Clearly, given there are so many different permutations going into the weekend, this may result in a slight delay to the publication of the post-split fixtures. We will be working hard on these and will make an announcement as soon as possible next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Laughable that because they assume the positions before season starts that due to the fact "2 big hitters Aberdeen and Hibs" finish bottom 6 that it takes Kevin the student at the Spfl offices a full week to process the fixtures.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Aberdeen away in the last game is a double edged sword. Good in the sense that hopefully we’ll be safe by then, but bad in the sense that if we’re not, it’s a c**t of a last fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
