billko Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well, that's the thing; it does look good from our point of view, but if the last game of the season is a play-off decider between us, it's pretty crappy for County fans, isn't it? Do the County fans like a long lie in at the weekends? Poor wee souls will just need to get an early night if they want to see the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hearts midweek is a must 3 pointer with St Mirren finishing up with them at home. I wouldn't like to go into the last game needing to match St Mirren's result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglemon Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am wetting myself already. Tension is unbearable. Must win Saturday to ensure we don't start 11th Killie away is a bad start...........potentially......... but 2 others are certain to start badly too Discipline will be key, suspensions costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 BBC as competent as ever on their website. "The top flight's post-split fixtures have been announced, with St Mirren hosting Partick Thistle in a crucial bottom-six match on 25 April", although at least they have the game the right way round on the actual list of fixtures. Happy with the fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Delighted with the fixtures. Already looking forward to another Friday night game at Firhill. I am wetting myself already. Tension is unbearable. Must win Saturday to ensure we don't start 11th Killie away is a bad start...........potentially......... but 2 others are certain to start badly too Discipline will be key, suspensions costly We are fairly fortunate on the disciplinary front. Only Taylor-Sinclair and O'Donnell are 2 yellows away from a suspension so as long as neither pick up 2 yellows in the next 3 games they would not be suspended this season barring a red card at any point. Buaben, Doolan, McMillan, Mair and Gabby are 3 yellows away so would need booked in all 3 of the next games to pick up a suspension. So basically we just need to avoid red cards.

stillresigned Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Absolutely nothing to complain about and definetly nothing to be scared of. Without wanting to sound overconfident I'm fairly content that we'll do the business, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Win the next 3 games (all absolutely doable) then we are safe,IMO. C'mon Jags wrap this up toute suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 shit. stay away mate! To be fair, I caught the last ten minutes of the win in Inverness in a pub in Southampton and the delayed transmission of the recent game vs Hibs after spending all afternoon avoiding the tv and social media. The only games I have been to in person were Gateshead, Celtic in October, Inverness on 26 Dec, Motherwell 29 Dec and Celtic on New Year. Think it's the fewest games I've been to in a season since the last time we were in the SPL, when both seasons I had Saturday jobs. I've had season tickets in the second division, headed up the road for dreadful thistle sides losing against Clyde, Morton, Ross County, Dundee and many others - but have only made a handful of thistle matches in the Premier League in the three seasons we've been there since I have been going to Firhill.

Charlie Endell Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well, that's the thing; it does look good from our point of view, but if the last game of the season is a play-off decider between us, it's pretty crappy for County fans, isn't it? Screw everyone else, eh? What if Hearts midweek is the decider for us? Does no-one have to work the next day? I don't, so hey, what do I care? Sorry, sometimes I forget the "f**k you, everyone else" mentality that Thistle fans have. What has the Hearts game got to do with working the next day?? It's only Edinburgh - I've been to plenty of midweek games in Edinburgh (going back to Meadowbank days) without the need to take the following day off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm not exactly sure why but I think us playing Hearts midweek is a bonus simply because it won't be a six pointer. Then again, depending how things pan out, that game could have great symbolic meaning to the Jambos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ross County on the last day isn't easy, but they don't like coming to Firhill either. Not sure I agree with the second leg of that sentence. I am sure that County's record at Firhill over the past few years is very good. We have tended to do better in Dingwall.

Members Willjag Posted April 2, 2014 Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Then again, depending how things pan out, that game could have great symbolic meaning to the Jambos. Yep. Potentially Hearts last ever game at Tynecastle. They'll be going all out for a win that night no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banderas Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 If this was the overall sequence of wins and draws by the end of the remaining games would you take it ? W D L Hibernian 1 3 2 Kilmarnock 3 2 1 Ross County 2 2 2 Partick Thistle 2 3 1 St Mirren 3 3 0 Hearts 0 3 3 if yes , then on the last day scenario's : PTFC HAVE TO to beat Ross County on the last day and then the playoff place would be on GD between RC and PTFC assuming HIBS and STM win final day. A PTFC draw and Hibs and STM lose final day - then its a 3 way tie and playoff place is GD decided. A PTFC draw and Hibs and STM draw final day -then PTFC playoff bound Lose and PTFC are playoff bound Assuming PTFC final day win: Hibs lose and they are playoff bound , Draw and STM lose , then STM playoff place. STM lose - Playoff , if STM draw and Hibs draw its down to GD between them . 2nd last week totals: Hibernian 37 37 L Kilmarnock 37 44 W Ross County 37 39 W Partick Thistle 37 36 D St Mirren 37 37 D Hearts 37 13 L its taken decades as a jags supporter to be trained into thinking about this nonsense at this point in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well. if we win only 1 of our next 5 games (making it 1 in 8) then we DESERVE to be in the play offs. I personally believe, as posted earlier, that we can win our next 3 games and wrap this up fairly early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally believe, as posted earlier, that we can win our next 3 games and wrap this up fairly early. am looking at 2 wins , 3 draws and only one loss from the following : Partick Thistle v Hearts Sat 5 Apr Kilmarnock v Partick Thistle Sat 19 Apr Partick Thistle v St Mirren Fri 25 Apr Hibernian v Partick Thistle Sat 3 May Hearts v Partick Thistle Wed 7 May Partick Thistle v Ross County Sat 10 May based on form STM beat us at firhill and we drew 0=0 last time RC drew at firhill last time. hibs easter rd 1-1 last time, beat us at firhill killie - draw firhill and beat us at rugby park hearts are the team we seem to get a result against.+ BUT I HOPE TO JEEZUZ YOUR RIGHT - and if you are, you can have a fish supper on me from the high street chippie.

ThickAsThieves Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Beat Hearts on Saturday, draw with Kilmarnock, beat St. Mirren and get 3 points from the Edinburgh trips. We won't NEED anything on the final day... The pessimist in me says we'll draw with Hearts, lose to Killie, draw with St. Mirren and lose to Hibs, needing to win the final two matches, It's impossible to call.

Garscube Road End Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 At least 7 points from the next 3 games is what I am predicting, and safety. Then we can start splashing the cash for our push for the title next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm fairly relaxed and looking forward to the post-split games. It's going to be some great entertainment, and every team should be up for the fight. Worst case scenario is we end up in a playoff. I think we've got more than enough to win that.

A play -off would be unbearable and anything can happen- it would be 50-50. Look at our miracle promotion from 3rd tier. But I also agree we should be good enough to avoid it.

H Wragg Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 A play off 2nd leg survival at Firhill on a bank holiday Sunday afternoon would make for a nice wee party. But I'd rather avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
