Did Adams really say that?

[PullMyFinger]

I really hope then don't make it. Imagine the seethe and excuses then!

 

You really hope we drop points?

 

Let's look at what you're wishing for.

 

For United to make top 6 they need to win both games

 

Dundee Utd v St Johnstone   3 points

Dundee Utd v Aberdeen         3 points

 

For St Johnstone to then finish above County they'd need at least a draw against Caley and for County to lose both their games.

 

St Johnstone v Inverness       1 or 3 points

 

For Hibs to finish above County, they need to beat us and Celtic.

 

Hibernian v Inverness             3 points

Hibernian v Celtic                   3 points

 

County will have to  lose to both Killie and Hearts for your scenario.

 

So to recap, six games must have a certain team win and one other game must have a certain team not win. I'd be putting money on that if I was you because the odds must be really favourable.

 

Personally I'm looking forward an SPL top six derby against the shadows to determine which one or both of us goes on our travels in Europe next season.

[KingBeastie]

This thread started with someone saying that ICT fans were happy that the minks were in the SPL and happy that they won the first division.

No.

Not me.

 

Tinky scumb@gs.

Where did I say I wanted to drop points?

[Alex MacLeod]

I think PMF is trying to tell you that the only way County dont remain in top six is if we drop points against Hibs and St J and other results also go against them.

[PullMyFinger]

You're welcome, Mr Adams.

 

Please, please, please can we have County on the last day of the season.

[The Mantis]

Deekwatch:

Adams on the BBC sport site: "We could have been here until tomorrow and not scored.

"But in the end, we're a step closer to top-six football after the other results."

What other results would that be then Derek?

2nd placed Motherwell beating bottom club Dundee perhaps?

Or Aberdeen (chances of making top 6 as slim as a gnat's chuff) beating Hearts (already condemned to face bogey side Dundee for a fourth time) maybe?

Any other games on today I might have forgotten?

[+DoofersDad]

Well, there was a game in Edinburgh where the result certainly suited County!  Of course, Adams has not got the class to refer to it directly.  Had the boot been on the other foot you can be sure that our manager would have acknowledged our neighbours had done us a favour.

[caley100]

That shyte would choke before he says anything gracious about his bigger neighbours, i hope they scrape into the top 6 and we play them and win 1-0 with a dodgy pen.   oh that would be sweet.

However more importantly, a win vs Perth saints could see county top six, wonder if gobshyte would say anything then?

[12th Man]

Just wait till he has to thank us for beating St Johnstone on Friday night to keep them in the top six,  they could still get pushed out if we draw.

[ferben1994]

I'll take a draw versus perth saints as long as motherwell lose to whoever they play this weekend just to see the c*unty finish 7th.

[12th Man]

United are currently winning, so in Deeks head, County must be a step closer to securing a top six place ??

[PullMyFinger]

How's that? If Utd. win they can still overtake County but lose or draw and County are top six.

[martinskye]

How's that? If Utd. win they can still overtake County but lose or draw and County are top six.

 Because it would be impossible for County to drop 3 places overall.... I think.

league table as it stands if DUFC see off St Johnstone tonight

 

 

*assuming Killie beat St Mirren on WED, they would go to 44. So going into fixture 33 it would take 4 specific results for County to f*** it up !!!

 

66 - Celtic

53 - Motherwell

50 - ICT

45 - County

44 - St Johnstone

*44 - Killie

43 - DUFC

 

On the last weekend

• County lose. A draw is all they need to ensure top six.
• St Johnstone beat us - they go to 47pts - ahead of County who drop to 5th
• Killie beat Dundee - they also go above county on 47. county drop to 6th
• DUFC beat Aberdeen - DUFC leapfrog County onto 46 - county drop to 7th.

 

Personally, I am not up for letting St Johnstone win so as far as I am concerned, we will guarantee them a top six finish before they kick a ball on Saturday !!!!

One other scenario is all of that happens but we draw with St Johnstone (rather than losing).  In which case they move onto same points as County.  As things stand, St J have 1 less goal difference and County have scored more goals.  So if we all the other results occur and we draw with St J, County would need to lose by 2 or more goals to Hearts.

Edited April 1, 2013 by CapitalCaley

[+DoofersDad]

I'm all for beating St J by 4 goals or more so that we we move back into 2nd place and 8 points ahead of County on Friday.  If that means County make top 6 then so be it.  As long as we are above them at the end of the season I couldn't care where they finish.

[PaderbornCaley]

Oh well!  All irrelevant now!  Perth have equalised.

[12th Man]

It was just meant tounge in cheek as that's what he said last week end, its in countys hands to stay in the top six just like its in our hands to finish 2nd

[12th Man]

Oh well!  All irrelevant now!  Perth have equalised.

So county are now top six and I'm happy with a draw tonight now for killy to lose on wed and its been a good week

[Scotty]

so here's the table ....

 

Top 5 now guaranteed a top 6 finish. 6th-9th will fight it out for last spot and even that may be irrelevant if Killie have a good win on Wednesday.

 

 

Us to win (big) on Fri V St Johnstone   (53)

County to lose Sat to Hearts (45)

St Mirren to win Sat V Motherwell  (53)

Celtic to lose to Hibs (66)

DUFC/Aberdeen - irrelevant

Killie to lose to Dundee (41)

 

that would be a good week

[The Mantis]

Never had much time for the Midden, but Killie losing to them on Wed will be a good start.

[BornCaley]

oi! get your own topic for the "will c*unty f*ck it up" guff!

 

Anyway apparently Adams doesn't like ICT!!! And had problems maintaining his Seeth levels!

Edited April 1, 2013 by BornCaley

[ForzaCaley]

Ach fair play to c*unty. Looking forward to another derby!

#NoBitternessHere

[PullMyFinger]

So who plays in the biggest derby in Scotland?

Answers on a postcard to Graeme Speirs.

[PullMyFinger]

Fair play to him, no seethe today.
