The other thing giving me the fear is the influence of Sky as that’s been well highlighted in the reports yesterday. Obviously they want the last OF game and the Septic’s last home game getting the trophy. They will however want a key ‘relegation’ game as well and us v Killie has to be right up there on their wanted list. Given one of our home dates is likely to be the unappealing midweek night, what’s the betting that they’re also pushing for us away to Killie live on Sky?

The last day is usually the bottom two as at the split so, having dragged ourselves up to 10th that would mean Killie v County on the final day. If the most argued for outcome for us takes place that would leave us guaranteed an away day on the final day. Hopefully we would have done the business before then because I don't fancy still being in the mix, going to Livi, Perth or Motherwell having to get something taking into account 2 or 3 points would be guaranteed split between Killie and County that day.Quote:

This week though they play a cup semi with full mixed support which is in effect a cup final and earlier this season had an actual old firm final where a trophy was won! Makes no sense to me. Also if possible it makes me hate the both of them, their supporters and the way the meedyuh pander to them even more.
That's only happened three times since 2015 as far as I can see?Quote:
