Very true and I don’t blame him for taking the job, but his increased wage packet, his squad’s wages and the self entitlement of many of the Aberdeen fans make it all the more sweeter for a wee “diddy team” like us to finish above them.

That can be a dangerous time to play those type of teams, yet we professionally dispatched both. So yes, it is a fair comparison when not every team around us managed to do do that. You mentioned TOP SIX teams, that inferred we were doing better than other TOP SIX sides, THAT makes your comparison pointless. I agree we've done reasonably well against other diddy teams.

eastlandssaint Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Decent away point, plenty to build on for next season. A big thank you to all the players and supporters for their efforts this term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts are marginally ahead of the rest, but Motherwell, Dundee Utd and Ross County? Not for me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other teams in the top six played the Old Firm, THAT makes it an entirely different ball game and, therefor, they will have had less chance of amassing points , unlike the dross we were playing. THAT'S my point against your original post. As for the difference, all subjective, I tend to go with the teams that get more points over a season are better than the teams that don't.

Old firm ended in 2012 with the death of Rangers. The club were not special, they didn't get to go on where other clubs like Airdrieonians, Clydebank, Gretna did not.

Tommy Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Think this was the same ref that gave Accies a foul in injury time that they scored from denying us a top 6 last season. Nice to see him upsetting Goodwin again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Bore off. Yeah, "Clydebank" still exist, they just play in Airdrie and call themselves Airdrieonians. The original Airdrieonians and Gretna are gone - just like the original Rangers, it has to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll assume your taking the piss but, since you seem to be having a moment I'll further explain, this would be before the split, when everyone has played the same teams the same amount of times. FFS.

Cumbriansaint72 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Well another clean sheet, another point and a team that seemed to have more energy again albeit some playing with pain killing injections. Once again i will admit I got it wrong in slating SR. Roll on next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a positive finish to the season with 4 clean sheets. As stated previously, draws have been our undoing and that has been down to poor game management in most cases. I’m thinking about a goal shipped late late on against Well amongst others. Those draws were on Goodwin’s watch but as the Manager is already signing he’s clearly got a plan so here’s hoping. Best part of the season, not a ball kicked and fantasising about a world beating future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint@Johnstone Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Thankfully a dreadful season is at an end, one bereft of goals which is criminal. Genuinely only saw one good performance at home, the first win against Aberdeen, apart from that very little to enthuse about. Have very grave doubts about the manager and whom he will sign. I have a suspicion it will be English low league rejects, same as Stubbs. Might be wrong but I think he is very lucky to still be in a job after his awful start. I will get my season ticket as usual and like others, will have to hope for vast improvement next season. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
