LadywellToi Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why are we actually giving this back door entry into Europe credence when we have a good chance to qualify for finishing in the top 4, Jesus we are lacking some belief here. It was a fair question to pose, but come on, we can make European qualification due to our own desire and effort rather than crossing our fingers and hoping.

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why are we actually giving this back door entry into Europe credence when we have a good chance to qualify for finishing in the top 4, Jesus we are lacking some belief here. To be fair when the thread was started it didn't look like we had much chance of catching Hibs or Dundee United. Thanks to the great run we've been on and some wobbles from the other teams that's changed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decorator Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Would be a bit of a red neck to qualify via this two years in a row. Still take it though! get a loan and come along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el-pidge Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I would think that if the cup finalists finish in the top 4 and 5th place becomes a european berth...AND by some miracle scotland are awarded a fair play berth... it will go to whoever tops the fair play league... if that team has already qualified through league position it will go to whoever is next on the list. I am pretty sure celtic topped the fair play league and we were second last year, we got the award as celtic qualified through league position. And for arguments sake, on current standings... Kilmarnock are in pole position for a fair play spot, closely followed by St Johnstone, with Accies and Falkirk trailing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I am pretty sure celtic topped the fair play league and we were second last year, we got the award as celtic qualified through league position. only because loovens retrospective red card wasn't added into table by the end of the season, count that in and we were best behaved.

Rickoza Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I can't believe Falkirk have gone all this time without someone sent off, more especially with Pressley now in charge.

nethertonwellfan Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Here is a bit of trivia for the stattos to dig out. How many red cards have been given to teams that have played against us this year and is it the most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickoza Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Today's table. Can't believe a certain Edinburgh-based team have almost two-and-a-half times as many points as we have! Surely, as you say, the big fine is coming their way. Year on year they thugs get away with it!

Rickoza Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I can't understand why the Scandanavians are always in the top five, taking the first four positions this year (Scotland fifth). Anytime I've seen a team from those countries they aint anything but well-behaved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickoza Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Probably...... The final table proved just how well behaved we were, and how much others were simply just thugs.

johnstone Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think that Fair Play table shows one of the flaws in our team. We are not strong enough to be tough in the tackle. So many times this season we stood off players when we should have just took them down. The 6-6 game with Hibs is a perfect example. About 4 of those goals could have been prevented byt getting into their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
