weeyin Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 If the scores stay the same and Accies and Killie pick up points that take a bit of the shine of last nights win. And also, unfortunately, confirm there was still more than a few twists and turns to go this season. Still, at least you've found something to miserable about after a good win from us last night. So at least there's that, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 is it not better Accies take the points over ICT? ICT have a game in hand over us and we play them so have input on their placing before split Inverness are on a right shite run just now. Also they have the Motherwell opening day curse: 2013-14 - Motherwell beat Hibs 1-0 in the first game, Hibs relegated 2014-15 - Motherwell beat St Mirren 1-0 in the first game, St Mirren relegated 2015-16 - Motherwell beat Inverness 1-0 in the first game, ....... Seriously though, with all the teams below us still to play each other as long as our performances between now and the end of the season are adequate (i.e. we don't lose every week) we'll be fine. Hamilton aint catching us before the split so I think on balance Inverness getting beat is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Still, at least you've found something to miserable about after a good win from us last night. So at least there's that, Who said anything about being miserable? Read again. I said it would take the shine of the win a bit. A bit. And show that there are still twists and turns to go this season. But you found an opportunity to be a tedious cunt for the most tenuous of reasons as always. So theres always that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I would say a draw would probably be a more favourable result for us. A draw would have been the ideal result as it would have kept accies closer to Killie and right in the shit but at least now ICT cant go above us if they win the game in hand. We now have a 5 point gap over both of them so not too bad, Killie and Dundee not getting anything was also a bonus as we stay top 6.

Yassin Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Today went perfectly imo,two three top six rivals lost and we are more or less safe from relegation now thanks to the Killie result . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Glad Accies beat Inverness. It's all about the top 6 so Dundee and Inverness losing today suits us perfectly. Hopefully we have sufficient players available in order to have a right good go at Aberdeen next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) A lot to ask from the team considering our up and down performances this season but if we can beat aberdeen and Inverness I think we'd be in the top 6. That would be 5 wins in a row and we don't do that too often but top 6 finish should be the goal as opposed to the goal being avoid play off spot. Top 6 would obviosuly remove all the pressure and hopefully get us some extra gate money in with larger away crowds, depending on the annual fixture fiasco outcome. Plus the higher you finish the more money you get. should we change the name of this thread to "top 6" ? :-) Edited March 12, 2016 by texanwellfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 It could, but Ross County showed last season what a team on a run can do at the end of a campaign.You need the billionaire owner to fund runs like County had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoojy Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just been having a look through the fixtures. I still say one more win and we're safe from the play off place, especially if that comes against Inverness. If we win against ICT and get a point from either Aberdeen or Celtic I reckon we'll make the top six by the skin of our teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Ross County's run started in Dec or something did it not? Anyway, would far prefer Accies went down. Not because of any rivalry, purely because it's a dreadful place to watch a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yabba's Turd Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Via our facebook page10 points and 14 goals better off than the playoff placed team with 8 games to go, we've already passed our total points tally for last season with victory on Friday in what can be viewed as a transitional season from the failed Baraclough experiment.Can we dream of mid table mediocrity now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Mid table is mediocrity. Just for kicks, and without any agenda other than personal interest in the figures, I pulled up our league stats since the SPL was created. We have been relegated twice. Been in the relegation spot twice, but saved due to reconstruction and the all-seater stadium rule. Finished one place above relegation 4 times and avoided relegation by winning a play-off once. Our combined average position is 6.97 (without adjusting for the fact some seasons were 10 team leagues and others 12) In 10 team leagues, our average position is 7.06 In 12 team leagues, our average position is 5 For stats junkies, our Median position is 7.5 and Mode is 8 (which means we have finished 8th more than any other position) Our position in Div 1 are not included in the stats. 75-76 4th from 10 (2 relegated) - Ian St John was the gaffer that season! 76-77 7th from 10 (2 relegated) 77-78 6th from 10 (2 relegated) 78-79 10th from 10 RELEGATED 79-80 6th in Div 1 80-81 5th in Div 1 81-82 1st in Div 1 82-83 8th from 10 (2 relegated) 83-84 10th from 10 RELEGATED 84-85 1st in Div 1 85-86 9th from 10 (saved from relegation by reconstruction) 86-87 8th from 12 (2 relegated) 87-88 8th from 12 (3 relegated) 88-89 9th from 10 (1 relegated) 89-90 6th from 10 (1 relegated) 90-91 6th from 10 (no relegation due to reconstruction) 91-92 10th from 12 (2 relegated) 92-93 9th from 12 (2 relegated) 93-94 3rd from 12 (3 relegated) 94-95 2nd from 10 (1 relegated, 1 play-off) 95-96 8th from 10 (2 relegated) 96-97 8th from 10 (1 relegated, 1 play-off) 97-98 9th from 10 (1 relegated) 98-99 7th from 10 (1 relegated) 99-00 4th from 10 (no relegation due to reconstruction) 00-01 8th from 12 (1 relegated) 01-02 11th from 12 (1 relegated) 02-03 12th from 12 (saved from relegation by Falkirk's stadium) 03-04 6th from 12 (1 relegated) 04-05 6th from 12 (1 relegated) 05-06 8th from 12 (1 relegated) 06-07 10th from 12 (1 relegated) 07-08 3rd from 12 (Gretna!) 08-09 7th from 12 (1 relegated) 09-10 5th from 12 (1 relegated) 10-11 6th from 12 (1 relegated) 11-12 3rd from 12 (1 relegated) 12-13 2nd from 12 (1 relegated) 13-14 2nd from 12 (2 relegated, 1 via play-off) 14-15 11th from 12 (won play off) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
