Well one way or another this crazy league has left us with the Mother of finishes next Saturday. With their position still undecided it is certain that Thistle with bring a large vociferous support down with them so it is important that all Queens supporters young and old make get along to Palmerston to at least equal that Jags support and hopefully better them to cheer on the boys. Yir hame team is yir ain team so Mon the South.
I hope I can safely say that the worst we can get is a play off place because of our goal difference compared to the two below us. Amazingly , Falkirk are not automatically relegated yet as some folk think. If they win next Saturday and Alloa get beat , the Bairns better goal difference ( than Alloa) would get them a play off spot.
Looks that way to me JR.Quote:

QOS safe if they beat Thistle. Also safe if they match Alloa result next week. (Could be 10th if lose but unlikely as 3 points and 9 goals better than Falkirk).
Alloa safe if they win next week as they would overtake one of QOS and Thistle who play each other. Safe with a draw if QOS lose. Will be 10th if they lose and Falkirk win (unless QOS suffer a huge defeat).
Falkirk will reach play off spot if they beat County and Alloa lose at Ayr.
Fixtures of clubs involved.
Ayr United v Alloa Athletic.
Falkirk v Ross County.
QOS v Partick Thistle.
I'd certainly have taken this scenario at FT last night.
Well detailed for next weekend's D Day.
Just read that Ayr United manager Ian McCall is to rest players against Alloa next weekend.Some of his squad are running on empty and he needs them fresh for the playoffQuote:

Basically, Dobbie's goals have gave us an important comfort blanket in this tightest of finishes . I am however not taking anything for granted . It's unlikely Falkirk could turn around a nine goal deficit but I'd like to remind you that we got beat 4-0 last night and I recall a memorable game in 1989 v Kilmarnock where they won 6-0 at Palmerston ( as well as a disallowed goal) and STILL went down. What I am saying is anything can happen in this crazy game ------- Queens really need to turn out a performance next weekend and we NEED to turn out and back them. With Ayr resting players next week v Alloa , we could well fall into the play off spot . One way for this not to happen is just to win the game in front of a frenzied Partick Thistle crowd. This week is going to drag.
The Dumfries folk will not turn out in numbers for this game, had it been a top of the table playoff game it would have been different.
I see that Ayr and Inverness are currently tied on 53 points, so they are playing only for second leg home advantage in the play-offs
