Geoff Kilpatrick Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The thread title says it all. Although there are 5 games left, there is now a feeling of apathy towards them because the joy of finishing 3rd has already dissipated. Yes, we haven't technically claimed 3rd yet but everyone knows Killie aren't pulling 11 points back on us. Also, we know the script for these 5 games as we've seen it all before. Lose the first two, beat Dundee, draw at Paisley and lose to Sevco U18s as the league will be over. All very depressing even though this has been a really good season.

AC Mallin_51 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Saturday is massive. As unlikely as it is we can’t give Kilmarnock any reason to believe they can claw it back. They have beat both sides of the OF so they’ll believe they can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboozy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Yesterday it looked like the team already had its suitcases packed for their holidays. Due to the top six fixtures panning out the way they have, I’m going to miss our last two fixtures and after yesterday I couldn’t care less. It will be interesting to see the crowd count for our two games at Tynecastle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean but we want to try and finish strong. Wrapping 3rd place up at Rugby Park would be brilliant. I’d very much rather the “season is over” because we’re so far infront and we have 4 potential dead rubber games than being 2 points ahead and in a proper fight for 3rd. However I do get your overall point, yesterday was a chance to have a cup final to look forward to. Those 5 post split games would’ve been electric if so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgundy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm just delighted Celtic beat Aberdeen on Saturday. That Rangers team would struggle against any team that are up for it and in their faces. Aberdeen would have had a better than even chance of beating them had they made the final. The end of the season cannot come soon enough.

Percival King Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Each to their own but I'm not apathetic about the rest of the season. We have still to tie up 3rd, have a couple of home games in a great place to watch football, have a possible chance to scupper the chances of Celtic or The Rangers winning the title and have a chance to scupper St.Mirren or Dundee getting into Europe.

Pingu Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 If Killie beat us, and win at Ibrox the following week, things could get nervy. Unlikely, as Killie have been garbage away from home, but with this Rangers side you never know. Either way it would be very helpful if we could get a point at Rugby Park.

I think this is overplayed. They have had a run of bad form, but they aren't that bad a team. If we had played them a few weeks ago before the Celtic game, I think we would have felt different. At that point under Clement their domestic record was won 25, drawn 1, lost 2. Even now it is Won 26, drawn 3, lost 3. I've seen posts suggesting this is the worst Rangers team in 50 years and Aberdeen would be odds on to beat them if they had made the final. Those posts are way off the mark.

Taffin Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Plenty still to play for. There's only 3 or 4 players we 100% would struggle to replace next year with similar quality so I'd expect the players giving it their all to still be here next season.

This has been a good season, one of our best for a long long time, we’ve been to more semi’s and finals in the last 5 years than we’ve ever managed.

As for Rangers being the poorest ever, they are 2nd, won the lc, in the sc final and lost to benifica by one goal in the last 16 of the Europa. They could actually win the treble.

Sierra Delta Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I get the point, but the reason the "season is over" is because of our performance in pretty much wrapping up 3rd place by the time split has come around. That should be seen as a huge positive rather than a negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 hopefully the club don’t regard the season as over.
