In the unlikely event that Accies need to beat us on the last day, they will stroll to their 3pts as our players will either have downed tools for the summer after securing 7th or 8th spot (or our first team is being rested for the cup final).

Very true - although we weren't saving ourselves for a Cup Final in that game... I doubt Accies will need anything from this game anyway. I can see them scraping enough points to stay in 10th.

Busta Nut Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Ross County away has come at too short notice for me. I have taken a couple hours holiday for the Thistle game. and 3 Saturday KO's is ideal. Disappointment at missing county away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 From a selfish point of view, I'm disappointed we don't have the game at Thistle on a Saturday as it's a good day out. Otherwise it's as good as we could have hoped for. I assume somebody else has had a raw deal or have they actually managed to work it out fairly this time?

I think the raw deals are in the top half again. Hearts have a 3 away games at Ibrox and 20 away games overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 League have been as fair as could be unusually as have given the 7th team the extra home so bottom 4 not gaining an advantage against each other and given the 6th team an extra away game so the others fighting for 2nd and Europe not disadvantaged .

Andy_P Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think the split has been in place long enough that all clubs realise, well that's a lie, all clubs with the exception of two whose post-split fixtures are the starting point for the process and get hand-picked, that but for the grace of God there's the possibility of getting shafted. The statements to my mind are little more than an attempt to a make loud noise so that some form redress is made when the pre-split fixtures for the following season are drawn up or that they get a better deal the following season post split.

swami Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I’ve got a right bee in my bunnet about the post-split fixtures favouring the Old Firm (like plenty of other folk, probably) but one thing in particular does my nut in when I even think about it. When Rangers were out of the SPL/Premiership the league had four years, FOUR YEARS, where they could have given Celtic the unfavourable set of home-away fixtures since they were winning the title at an absolute canter anyway and they didn’t. Then, when Rangers came up and were utterly miles away from any sort of title challenge on account of being utterly pish, they could have done likewise but didn’t. These things would have at least attempted to create the illusion that there is a fair system in place for how fixtures are dished out. I mean, we all know that the authorities couldn’t give a flying fuck about any other teams, but this sort of thing just confirms it beyond any doubt. We’ve been shafted on 2 (3?) occasions and just basically been told to suck it up. This year it’s Hearts and Killie. On Sportsound the other day that dunce Billy Dodds said something along the lines of ‘There’s no way of keepin everyone happy and every team gets the rough draw sometimes’, but that certainly isn’t true of the Old Firm really, is it? Fuck em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck em. While I agree with you, you have to factor in the fact that in the minds of the downtrodden Celtic fan, they are being shafted simply by not being given the opportunity to claim the title in the first game post split at Park Head. Like you say, ........ fuck em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just checking my math here, 2 wins and we are safe right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, one point and we are safe, we cannot finish bottom as things stand but there is a sequence of results that could see us finish eleventh on goal difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valegro Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Have I missed something? If Partick win all thir games they get 40 points. That means RC can only win 4 of their games. They get to 38points. However that means Hamilton and Dundee can only win 3 of their games. But they have to play one another so only one of them could get to 39 points. However our superior goal difference gives us a massive advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However our goal difference advantage although 12 to the good could theoretically be overturned. So, as things stand, we need 1 point to be mathematically safe from automatic relegation.
