Who Will Come Up With Sevco & Cup Semi


Recommended Posts

Assuming they win the play off:

 

I hope its hibs who come up, (I enjoy visiting easter rd), but it seems the arse is falling right out of them.

 

They are in the playoffs and the cup semi*, but imagine they ended up with nothing after this season!

 

Hibs, then falkirk, then raith would be my preference of order.

 

*I see Mixu has come out and said USh*ted can make partial amends their fans for this season, by getting to the cup final.

 

He seems to love setting his unconfident team up for a fall and is clearly is out to extract the maximum embarrassment / agony possible from this season. He should come out a say a puppy dies for every goal Ush*ted concede.

 

Imagine Ush*ted lost a cup final AND got relegated in the one season, that would be very amusing indeed.

No one will come up with Sevco - Killie will have enough about themselves to beat the team trying to come up

 

United will win tomorrow, despite some indifferent form they seem capable of 1 good game in 2 Hibs have about 1 good game in 5 at the moment

 

Oh and btw a hibs final and a hibs winning the championships play offs is a bit of a nightmare for the SPFL -

 

Given that

 

Championship Playoff 1st leg is 15 May

Championship vs Premiership Play off round 1 is scheduled for 19 May

Scottish Cup Final is 21 May

Premiership vs Championship play off 2nd leg is 22 May

 

 

the final is on Sat 21st and the play off leg 1 is on the 19th and leg 2 on the 22nd

Contingency plan already in place: http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/premiership-play-off-final-update/

 

And United & Hibs are playing on Saturday, not tomorrow ;)

You ever had a day when you're convinced it's another

 

All day today I've been convinced today is Friday yet another example of that!!

 

Contingency isn't brilliant either

 

Wed 11th. Championship leg 1

Sun 15th championship leg 2

Tues 17th premiership leg 1

Sat 21st cup final

Wed 25th premiership leg 2

 

5 games in 14 days.

Think you would get REALLY bored with a 16 team league

 

there would be a least 4 teams in the 16 team league at the moment that would be cannon fodder - probably 6 teams that would be middle of the table and not interested

 

and the championship wouldn't have any decent teams available to make any sort of impact when they came back up after yo yoing between divisions

 

By October 4 teams would be fighting relegation 6 teams would have nothing to play for and 4 teams would be ripping the teams at the bottom to shreds week in week out

We only need two or three divisions and our youth teams should be remodelled into "B" teams that play in the lower divisions against proper competition, but not in the cups or the same division as their parent club. If you extend the number of positions in each division to 16 then an extra relegation spot should be put in. I'd keep the relegation playoff because it makes the bottom of the league interesting.

I take your points but I think the mid-table teams would be far more likely to have a go at winning games and less scared about ending up in relegation. I also think this would allow for youth players to get more first team experience rather than the safe option of cheap european journeymen. I doubt it could be any worst than playing Partick, Killie, Accies 3 or 4 times a season.

The 12 in it now and the rangers, hibs, Falkirk and Raith would be the 16.

 

Who are the 4 cannon fodder teams?

Raith would be for sure - as would Falkirk, and hibs

 

None of the championship teams are particularly good they're just in a poor league. there are teams in the premiership at the moment that are pretty awful

 

This started with a question of who is coming up with Rangers - Do I think any of the three possibilities are good enough to beat Hamilton or Killie as both those teams are pretty hopeless?

 

For instance Hamilton have had 4 goals or more put passed them 6 times this season, Killie 5 times that's cannon fodder territory and I still think they are no better than hibs Falkirk or raith

 

Give it a few years until the extra money helps these championship sides establish themselves get properly full time with a good structure then maybe but at the moment there are too many teams that are not going to cut it
