minijc Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hearts have the easiest but we MUST win atleast 3 of the next 5, in a perfect world we'd win them all but not going to happen, would love it if we won 4 out of the 5 though which can be done.

BobbyBiscuit Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Having unfortunately watched the OF game today, we can definitely beat both of the ugly sisters. Fucking appalling game played by two teams who are both as shit as each other at passing the ball. Nothing to be frightened of at all.

glasgow sheep Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think as long as we win our 3 away from home we'll be within a point or two of third, if not clear ourselves. I would expect us to get something off the huns, but given our record vs the tims at pittodrie I wouldn't be putting much on us getting a win. Whatever, the OF games will take care of themselves. The biggest game is probably Killie away on a cold Jan midweek night infront of a shit crowd. Win that, top6 is secure and we're breathing down the jutes necks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I would worry most about Killie as well. I think we will take the hun without breaking sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I would worry most about Killie as well. I think we will take the hun without breaking sweat. Thirded! I'm starting to consider working overtime to pay for Europe 09/10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewsome Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Just to be sniffing at Eurpoean qualification is refreshing again. Personally, I can't see us in 3rd by the end of January. I WOULD LOVE TO; don't get me wrong. I see the Killie game being the biggest of the upcoming schedule. 3rd can be done but at the end of February or later. This is Aberdeen; they never do anything easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, end of Jan is a big ask with the OF both to play but we might have put ourselves in a good position and I have a feeling that we will see a bit of a gap opening up between the 3 sides and the rest (Hibs, Killie et al) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelt Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Right now I reckon we are capable of beating any team in the SPL. Rangers and Celtic aren't scary, they aren't big or clever, they sign shite like Broadfoot and Boyd. If we go at them we can beat them, and if we lose while having a go at them then so be it. To fuck with this sitting in shite. They're there for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harcus Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Race for third I didn't realise Scotland will have three teams in the UEFA Tinpot League, or whatever it's due to be called next season. http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=2097152/newsid=788326.html Does that mean fifth place will be good enough for Europe, if an Old Firm Scottish Cup final was to occur, for example?

Ajja Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think that runners up spot gets in if OF win it but they are relegated to N4 position with N3 and N4 moving forward one place in terms of entry stage. In the event of an OF final I suspect that 5th place would then get entry behind N3 & 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
