bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm interested to see what people think, should we beat Kilmarnock and Dundee get through do you think we would beat them?? The league suggests they are probably a better team than killie and maybe on par with st Johnstone but with that wee Stewart guy and hemmings up front and with harkins who isn't the best player but very creative could cause us problems, although I think we could cause them many more problems as long as we took our chances. What do u bears think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

left winger 14,098 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Don't know. I've hardly watched any Scottish football not involving us over the last few years. Their league position shows they are better than Kilmarnock, so it should provide another marker as to where we are if we play them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell just because a team sits in a certain position in their league. Every game is different I hate this nonsense about tests etc. Each game is played 11v11, league position means fuck all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it u who fears them? Nobody mentioned fearing them. I asked the question given our past 2 results against teams from the league above. We were going to pump st j and Kilmarnock I said it myself and how wrong we were. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking the question to see what my fellow bears think.

StewGer 606 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dundee have been good going forward but shoddy at the back, assuming our backline are on it we'll pump them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us being top of the championship obviously isn't a reflection of our abilities, then, is it? No league position means nothing. We are top of our league but below every side in the premier league that doesn't mean we are the 13th best side in the country. Going by some folks reasoning St Johnstone beat us so we aren't as good as any the top 4 in top league. St Johnstone fucked Aberdeen 5-1 yet Dundee beat St Johnstone and Dumbarton drew with Dundee. That doesn't make Dumbarton better than us as they drew with a team who beat a side that beat us. Folk need to leave precious results and league positions behind when these games cone round. People take results against other teams as a barometer of how well we would do against team x etc. It's stupid Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee are 6th, Kilmarnock 11th. It's really that straightforward. Then if we beat both of them, it would be good to test ourselves against a better team again.

Jinty is saying that I'm fearing Dundee because of a question that I asked, isn't that jumping the gun a bit? the league positions of St j and Dundee suggest they are roughly the same but I think if we took our chances we could beat them and for what it's worth I think they would come and play us and not just sit back and we could open them up. If we went through and so did Dumbarton then most would automatically assume we were through so it's just a question to see what the people think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
