Best GD in the division after Arbroath and 1-2 games in hand over everyone else. Should at least make the playoffs, if not second or third. IIRC, that's exactly what they done last season too? Weren't they sort of under the radar for quite a bit of the season before going on a run and capitalising on other teams mistakes to win the title? Not a bad time to go on a run. Take that into the playoffs and anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Partick are just a bit too far behind to win it but I certainly wouldn't rule them out of the play-offs. Much prefer it when 2 go up and down. As long as its Dundee and County who go down I'll be happy. Killie probably the only team I don't want to come up but wouldn't be too arsed if they do.

Big Dick will have to admit it sooner or later that they are on for promotion, it's a real possibility. Be unbelievable if they won the bloody thing.

Dundee and St. Mirren down through the trap door for me. Hamilton are the only team I don't want to see in the top tier of those with any reasonable shot. I suppose some might say it's not a good look to have a part time team get promotion but it would be some achievement if Arbroath did manage it.

Canscot Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It would be a fairy tale really. I hope they manage it if even it is only for one season. What a great thing for their fans. (All 50 of them)😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Accies I used to think the same on no part time teams but the Danish league has it with Copenhagen, Brondby and Midtjylland all still competing at europa league level. Plus if Arbroath come up it'll hopefully have a similar effect as the LL/HL into spooking our survival only teams like Accies into trying better than just aiming for 10th every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAndy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Arbroath are a great story this season. Who knows where they will finish but to be in the mix more than halfway through season is a great achievement. This is what football is all about.

Stu_HMFC Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Would be good to see Arbroath in the premiership I have a feeling thought Kilmarnock will bring in a few players before the window ends what will give them enough to win the league and Inverness may win the play off, As long as Dundee go down and Livingston.

If Arbroath win the league, Dick Campbell simply has to be manager of the year. But this is Scottish football - the manager of Rangers or Celtic (whoever wins the league) will still win manager of the year even though they have by far the greatest resources and only have to finish in front of one team.

I didn't actually realise that Partick have 2 games in hand which if they win, would put them just 2 behind Arbroath! Yeah it's funny because I remember when Accies came up in 2008, I was pretty happy about it as it was a total new face in the league for me. Wonder if Arbroath would just become the new Accies if they somehow come up and just shithouse their way to survival every year. That said, Arbroath at least has the redeeming feature of being what looks like a decent away day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a great story and I do hope they win it outright. My fear is that they will need to become full time, pay bigger salaries, employ far more people due to becoming full time and will likely be the whipping boys and be relegated with huge debts trying to stay up. I wish them all the best but it's hard to see how they can stay up if they won the league this season without getting into all sorts of trouble financially. That said, some smaller teams like Ross County and hibs have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duno but their behaviour during the curtailed season fiasco was disgraceful so they can rot. Shame cos used to have wee soft spot for them. As I say though.... rot. Would love Partick and ICT up (thinking Arbroath unlikely, but that'd be braw if they can come up too). Killie can eff off purely for their plazzy pitch (and McInnes actually - eff him). Happy for any or all of Dundee, Ross Co, St Mirren or Livvi to go down, probably just about in that order, Ross Co n St M a tie maybe. Be smashing if they all went down. Probably will if Rangers and Celtic decide to have colt teams in the prem. Edited January 17, 2022 by TheBigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
