The two points yes, extra cash no, apart from us winning we also needed Aberdeen to beat Dundee which never happened, so it's 7th place prize money at best this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know money means a lot to club but to fans I'm not interested now and season over. Splits not a great idea. Means seasons finished and clubs in top half sometimes have less points than bottom 6. Think we're safe now points plus goal difference. Wil be back at league cup matches. Ive never understood this logic. Surely you are interested in how much money the manager has to spend on new players in the close season. As has been already stated the difference of a couple of places could be £125k. That could be the difference in getting a couple of our 1st choice targets, or having to settle for "projects" again. Every game between now and the end of the season is important to us. We have a big rebuild again in the summer. The more money we have for that the better. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we're safe now points plus goal difference. Wil be back at league cup matches. I think we're almost safe but won't take it for granted until we're mathematically home and dry. If, as seems likely, we play Aberdeen, Hibs or Ross County away first, and suffer a loss, which isn't beyond the bounds of possibility, there will be a few squeaky bums on here and elsewhere amongst our support. The sequence of the fixtures will be crucial. We don't want Ross County away as the first fixture. To be fair, none of the other 4 teams will either. Our season isn't quite over yet.

I can only assume you’ve followed me around Fir Park for the past 30+ years with a clicker in each hand noting my boos vs applause. But, if you must know, I never boo my own team or players, and I generally always stay behind to applaud the team, regardless of the result. It may come as a shock to you, but what people choose to critically express on a football forum after a match and how they carry themselves at the match are often not one and the same. Happy Monday to you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite: I think when Dundee were relegated in 2005 (John Sutton was on loan with them at the time) they went down because of a disastrous sequence of results after they narrowly missed getting into the top six. Pressure can build and panic ensue quickly if the first two or three games don't produce some points. I suspect St Johnstone supporters will be particularly unsettled by RC's victory. For once the likliehood of our having three away fixtures post-split may seem to be a good thing, given our poor home record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 As expected, Post split fixtures won't be released until after Wednesday as SPFL "want to confirm final pre split top 6 league placings". They think our heads button up the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't distill our lack of points down to one incident in one game. We've given away many goals that have cost us points and missed many chances that would have potentially earned us points over the course of the season. Just like every other team. That's why the league table is a good reflection of form over the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the EPL Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal were the three bookies favourites and the last match between them was two Saturdays ago.

However, its wrong to solely blame the SPFL, although they do deserve some criticism. Police Scotland will already have made its feelings known and the Scottish Government (it doesn't matter who is in power) will also be monitoring the situation. Sadly sectarianism is deep rooted in our society to such an extent that it mustn't be discussed in public, let alone addressed. We're still in the dark ages over this. Sectarianism is at the root cause of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they only play each other twice in the English premiership, it's the same in Spain so no need for any jiggery pokerey with the fixtures required.

You never see Man U vs Liverpool last game of the season. The Scottish Government love using football to deflect from their failings so the SPFL are right to take every precaution. Don't forget that Sturgeon cancelled fixtures and threatened to shut football down because Aberdeen players went for a pint in a pub that was legally open or that Youssef reported Rangers players to Police Scotland on the basis of an obviously doctored video he saw on Twitter. Scotland doesn't have a normal government when it comes to football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a midweek Old Firm when Lennon and McCoist squared up and they had a debate about it in Holyrood. That doesn't happen in normal Parliaments. Politicians here will take any chance to scapegoat football to deflect from how fucked the country is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
