quinty 1,445 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm a lover not a fighter. Fighting's overrated, it's so hard to get a willing participant these days, you're full of hope at first, they talk a good fight, but when you PM them to offer them the chance they invariably shite themselves.

gogzy 31,195 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Someone should actually do the data for cup games alltogether. We will have won more than we lost IMO.The difference with cups is one loss is all it takes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinty 1,445 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 This is a simple wee thread to celebrate our continued success in returning to the top flight. As far as I know, you don't get promoted for winning cups.But, once the Scottish Cup and Ramsden's Cups are over, I'll gladly post the stats on those Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 70,782 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It's the story so far so why not include the cup results so far?Why not wait till the leagues over before posting the OP if you are going on the above logic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Why dont you collate the same type of data for cup games to give us something to debate.I don't have the time but I'd wager we have won way more cup games than we have lost.that data is not really valid. For example we went out in the league cup this year in round 1 to Forfar. The stats say we lost 1 match. Ongoing we would only ever lose a maximum of 1 match per cup. Cup stats would be valid if we factor in potential matches as well.Say every cup has 8 rounds (for example) So in the Ramsden we have a record of 8 out of 8, but in the league cup we have a record of 1 out of 8. The total would be 9 wins out of a possible 16.Saying we won 8 and lost 1 is not a true reflection with cup games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The stats are good nobody doubts that but those stats don't tell the whole story and i don't just means cup games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Impressive stats but it's the style of play that we've been grumbling at.Also on the cups thing, the stats will look good for Ally with regards to games won, unfortunately the bottom line is how far we progressed in the cup.On that note he has been terrible.

You'd make wiping your arse complicated. ok then you stick with Ally having an 88.89% success rate in those cups this season if that makes you happy . I'll go with the 56.25% success rate. Given we are in the final of one and were out in the first round in the other - I know which one I think is the most reliable indicator of his cup performance.
