This will be more of a benefit to us I think. I think that finishing 2nd looks to be best position as long as there is only a point or 2 in it. 2nd plays 1st on match day 3, but 2nd place has a rest on match day 2, whereas as for 1st place it will be 3rd game 6 days. Although, that didn’t hurt us last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Surely we want to finish first because that means we'll have more points/goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely after the all the split games are played we want to be top. If there is any danger of the split not going ahead then again top is better, but going by the post split schedule, maybe not Edited April 17, 2021 by Lenziejag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I see elsewhere Brechin getting pumped by Annan who were main rivals for the drop out of league so it looks like curtains for them. To add insult to injury they have had Abdul Osman sent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretical advantages of fixture schedules are far outweighed by points on the board I reckon. By the way, looking at the league table now I can't believe how unexcited I was by our last minute equaliser against East Fife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Gekantawa Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) It is some turnaround - Who could have thought, half time at East Fife that we would go into the final 5 fixtures one point off the top and with our destiny in our own hands Edited April 17, 2021 by Duke Gekantawa grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all thinking it, what a difference since HT v East Fife. Mon the Jags. At half time against EF we were effectively 9 points behind Falkirk ( they were drawing 1-1 at Airdrie). What an amazing turn around! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know well the cliché "the players were already on holiday". In this case both teams and both sets of fans were all on holiday. Obviously we were celebrating but so to were Dumbarton who were now safe in the league. No result that day could've altered their league position, so they didn't even have final placing money to play for. All my memories of the match are centred on fun and games off the pitch apart from the fact there was a howling gale that day and the only highlight on the park was being entertained by a couple of seagulls. My only regret is not having a royal punt on a goalless draw. In hindsight by far the most likely outcome. I recall that going beyond mere survival in the league, Dumbarton were also celebrating being Scotland's top part-time team, which was obviously quite important to them. I presume that Cowdenbeath were the only other potential contenders that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 The Paul Paton Promotion Pool Party day still gives me shivers, the sight of Craig Walker in a mankini is something I will never forget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
