Some of us are waiting for match of the day. :wink:Quote:

Used to do my head in that, would avoid the results all day and then BBC news would flash them up on the screen a minute before Match of the day started 😂Quote:

Despite the fact we're currently bottom I still think two wins will be enough to qualify as one of the best three runners up.
What happens if Hibs and Falkirk end up with 9 pts each, would Falkirk top the group due to head to headQuote:

St Johnstone...they're just lucky they're followed by two men, a dug and a tractor or they'd be in big trouble.
Nothing like getting the Pink in the pub, a couple of pints down post-match, your team crowded round it.Quote:

Worth it to get the paper after dad was done with it.
Used to pour over it for hours reading all match reports.
Other than 2016 when I bought every paper going I doubt I have bought a paper in 10 years
Just gone through the remaining fixtures and made a prediction as to how I think each of the groups will finish.
Group A
Aberdeen - 12
Stirling Albion - 8
Raith Rovers - 7
Dumbarton - 3
Peterhead - 0
Group B
Partick Thistle - 11
Kilmarnock - 10
Montrose - 5
Stenhousemuir - 4
Fraserburgh - 0
Group C
Ross County - 11
Dunfermline - 8
Alloa - 6
East Fife - 4
Buckie Thistle - 1
Group D
Falkirk - 11
Hibs - 9
Morton - 4
Bonnyrigg - 3
Clyde - 3
Group E
Arbroath - 12
St Mirren - 9
FC Edinburgh - 5
Airdrie - 4
Cowdenbeath - 0
Group F
Annan - 10
Queen of the South - 8
Ayr - 6
St Johnstone - 6
Elgin - 1
Group G
Inverness CT - 12
Livingston - 9
Cove Rangers - 6
Albion Rovers - 3
Kelty Hearts - 0
Group H
Queen's Park - 11
Dundee - 9
Hamilton - 7
Forfar - 2
Stranraer - 1
Group winners
Aberdeen - 12 (seeded)
Arbroath - 12 (seeded)
Inverness CT - 12 (seeded)
Falkirk - 11 (unseeded)
Partick Thistle - 11 (unseeded)
Queen's Park - 11 (unseeded)
Ross County - 11 (unseeded)
Annan - 10 (unseeded)
Second placed teams
Kilmarnock - 10 (qualified)
Dundee - 9 *
Hibs - 9 *
Livingston - 9 *
St Mirren - 9 *
Dunfermline - 8 (eliminated)
Stirling Albion - 8 (eliminated)
Queen of the South - 8 (eliminated)
So if my predictions go to plan we will be fighting it out with Dundee, Livingston and St Mirren for the final two spots in the last 16.
Dundee's goal difference is currently better than ours but Livingston's and St Mirren's is worse.
I'm still very confident that two wins inside 90 minutes will be enough to see us through but we have zero margin for error.
So I think the last 16 will be;
Seeded
Aberdeen
Arbroath
Celtic
Dundee Utd
Hearts
Inverness CT
Motherwell
Rangers
Unseeded
Annan
Dundee
Falkirk
Hibs
Kilmarnock
Partick Thistle
Queen's Park
Ross County
You are probably not far off with that. I think there's only 1 group where it's possible for the runners up to finish with more than 9 points, so we need to win both our games and get our goal difference up and we should be in a good position to qualify.Quote:

Yeah a couple of 2-0 wins will be enough I think.Quote:

Quite where the goalie is away to for that one I’ve no idea. They’re both at fault to a degree but I’d blame the goalie more than Mulgrew!Quote:
