I agree with not looking behind us aswell, let’s look forward. 11 points behind Celtic, chances of catching them are obviously still very very slim but let’s pile the pressure on, let’s show them what we’re made of. If we equal that points tally and/or finish within 10 points of the title that’s an incredible achievement and an indication of moving forward. The club speak about “the next level” that’s not gonna happen overnight but if we can end up within a 10 point distance of the Old Firm then there will be serious belief moving forward that we do indeed have it in us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what the next 3 games bring us. If it’s 9 points…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is correct and an incredible stat. I thought maybe we'd played both OF three times in 05/06 by this stage to slightly skew the stars, but no. Had only played both twice. The big differences... - Rangers were in 4th at this point in 05/06, 8 points behind us. Celtic were on 61 with a game in hand so we were basically as far off the top as this season. We finished the season 15 points behind Celtic and even if we match our 05/06 points total, it wouldn't be too surprising if we were that far behind both OF at the end of this year. - We had scored 51 goals that season, versus 35 this season. Same number of goals conceded. We have been very 'efficient' at turning goals into points this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought that Farmer Tweedy was saying that I was looking down the table, so I changed the thread title to include inverted commas. Then I realised what he actually meant, but by then it was too late to change the thread title! I was "stealing" a post in between family things. Genuinely can't remember if I meant "in 3rd" or "of 4th" 😂 Edited February 18 by Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 3 points against either of Celtic or Rangers in the upcoming games would be a real statement of where we are at. Rangers are an odd one, in that they're playing well and not scoring many goals, and Celtic are as ripe for the taking as they will ever be. I really hope we play a nice open game, trying to beat them both rather than trying not to lose. We should be level on points with Rangers (should have won at Ibrox, should have beaten Hibs and Ross County). We really aren't that far away from them, especially with the form we are in. 3 huge games coming up. 5 points would be superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Our average points on the 2005/2006 LH site can't be right. I'm probably reading it wrong but 51 points after 26 games is not 2.3 something. A few of them look wrong so probably a different average then, sure it will be right. Anyway, I am surprised by this as thought we would have more but guess it makes sense. Hibs had too many for my liking tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why restricting Celtic and Rangers allocation is really important, especially in moments like this. We need every bit of advantage possible when they come to Tynecastle. Ibrox away is going to be a really tough one as Rangers also have a lot of momentum right now and smell blood as far as the league is concerned. We’ve no reason to fear them though. Celtic are a weird club, full of gimps who are a bawhair away from imploding. If we can keep things tight for 25/30 minutes, let frustrations grow amongst their support, and then hopefully we can grow into the game and get a goal or two in the second half. A lot easier said than done though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic could be in for it at Tynecastle, they won't be looking forward to that. I'm gonna say Rangers will beat us at Ibrox. Our win v them will be in the sc sf. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
