topgoalie 637 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Watching Sportscene last night for the first time in a while,i was pleasantly shocked at the standard of some clubs in our supposed elite league.Compare some of these resuts and Jig has a point.Stranraer 2 Inverness 2Hibs 2 Raith R. 3Throw in some from earlier in the seasonStranraer 3 Ross County 2Killie 0 Hamilton 1QOS 2 St.Mirren 1Aberdeen 0 Alloa 0Celtic 0 Morton 1Albion R. 1 Motherwell 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,937 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The gap ain't big tbh, the smaller clubs make some really daft mistakes at times and aren't quite as organised as the premiership sides but the gap ain't that big Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think statistically jig is wrong but I must say after watching mollesters v sheep mollesters in my opinion he has a valid point.the quality on show in the top tier is poor.

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 TGI dont think its wise to evaluate Jig's assertion based solely on one set of results in the cup.The counter argument could be provided if there is not such a gap - then why are some of the lower league clubs not making finals regularly ?

scarkev 3,540 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If the gap isn't that big the full time clubs need to have a serious look at why that is! I think there is a considerable gap though some teams have the ability to raise their game against better opposition where you tend to get more time! Just watching the Dundee utd game just now and it's torture....a few decent technical players but overall very poor and nothing to fear for us if we are at it!

simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Cup final thing is a bit of a myth when we actually play as well as we should these teams look no-where near us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,089 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Lets hope that St Mirren can do something here as I wouldnt want to face Dundee Utd at the minute.. they look like they could hurt us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
