JeanieD Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Would rather see Hamilton win than their opponents but the nature of this wee diddy league invariably means that as far as self interest goes a big home win is actually a good thing for us - wish it wasn't the case though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Help! I'm a bit confused (again).http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/celtic/celtic-8-1-hamilton-hoops-romp-to-easy-win-in-whitewash-1-4005766?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed Is there more than one sporting definition of a "whitewash"?

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 He's got the same number of points this season as Archie. Just saying. Aye, but Canning took over a side who were 3rd in the league half way through the season, finished 7th, then in the next season had them sitting 10th, having gone out both cup competitions to lower league sides (one of which is arguably the worst result for a top flight side in the modern history of the cup) and without a win in 8 matches, having conceded 4 or more goals 6 times this season. Pretty clear to see he's not doing a very good job. I hope he stays on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachi Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 If we turned up at celtic, minus a few key players and performed like we did on saturday, we're more than capable of shipping eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 If we turned up at celtic, minus a few key players and performed like we did on saturday, we're more than capable of shipping eight. But we didn't. Hamilton will always pick up points here and there at home due to their lottery of a pitch. As long as we keep doing our job, what they do will hopefully be irrelevant.

The Earl of Hathaway Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 The dreaded 'vote of confidence from the board'. They play Hearts on Saturday, so it's difficult to see anything other than another tanking. There's only another week of the transfer window left, so if they're going to get rid of him it doesn't leave a lot of time to get someone in who can also get new players in.

Chachi Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 You could apply that logic to just about any team in the league. Agreed! It was just a random thought over brekkie. Let's hope the Hamilton slide continues, to our benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's incredibly tight down there now. The breathing space isn't there because you have 1 team isolated at the bottom who are almost certainly going to stay there, much like Hearts did 2 years ago. Last season County, Motherwell and St. Mirren were battling it out to avoid 12th place until relatively late in the season, meaning that the teams immediately above them had a bit of breathing space. 40 points is USUALLY enough to avoid relegation in any given season, but the exceptions to that rule of thumb can arise when one team at the bottom are so bad and the teams above them pick up some points. In season 04/05 we were relegated from the 1st division with 39 points, I think the team directly above us was Hamilton with 45. I've said previously that 40 points should be the target but with all the teams involved taking points off each other, now I reckon there's a good chance that 40 might not be enough to avoid 11th at all.

Very true. There are just 8 points between Kilmarnock and St. Johnstone, so nobody can afford a bad run. I expect that the team ending 6th will have fewer points than the team in 11th.
