Shuggy 1,308 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Okay, currently the only good thing is that celtic are even worse than us and that can help us lift title 56. So they are on 3 defeats out of 7 just now, clearly not championship winning form. A look at the last 23 seasons, shows how many defeats a team can get away with and still win the title. The tally looks like this, GL = games lost so for example there were 5 seasons in which the title winner lost five games, 1 season in which they lost seven games. The point being, if celtic lose 3 more out of 31 games this season, there is only 2 seasons out of 23 where the title winners lost 6 or more games. Not good odds. Of course, Rangers have to do their bit and keep winning and we can safely assume no one else will win the title (last happened 36 years ago). GL Seasons 0 2 1 2 2 3 3 5 4 4 5 5 6 1 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,909 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 When the tarriers had their unbeaten season in 2016/17 and finished up with 106 points they followed it up the next season with only 82, and still finished 9 clear of Aberdeen in 2nd place and 12 clear of us in 3rd. I won't be surprised if a similar tally is enough this season, no other team outwith the old firm (Aberdeen) has ever finished with more than 76 points so would take a monumentally poor season for us (and the filth) and an abnormally good one from Hibs / Hearts for either of them to finish as champions. Incidentally though, the lowest winning points total since 98/99 was us that year with 77 points, Advocaats first season in charge when he had the luxury of about £35 million quid to play with.

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Alternatively we could win about 75-80% of our games and be utterly untouchable this season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty1976 1,671 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 This doesn’t account for draws - you could lose none but draw 15 and be well off the pace! Rangers_no1, Jimfanciesthedude and Corky True Legend 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's all getting a bit silly now. Were 5 games into a season. 5! People saying if they hit form they will win the league, others saying it's in the bag as we're 6 points clear. Both sides of the fence are mental.

left winger 14,152 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 So, the more games you lose, the less chance you have if winning the league? Not sure that startling revelation needed a thread all to itself, tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embra teams have flattered to deceive many times before and will inevitably hit rough patches throughout the season. Lack of depth in their squads will become a factor as the season goes on. The Flange experiment will be terminated if we get much further ahead or if, by some miracle, we actually found some form. They will deffo be second.
