A big part of me thinks we're fucked, but my head takes over and reminds me we will definitely find a way to scrape it.......if only through Killie being shitter for 6 games, the fan backing getting us valuable points at home against those below us (assuming the SFA don't decide to give us 5 away games and make up some very valid excuse why)

It'd take some run of from on their part, but Livi could still catch us.

I honestly don't think we have any advantage, including likely playing four of our remaining six games at home, as we enter the closing stages of the season. I think we will rely on others to save us, as I don't think we are capable of saving ourselves. We are speaking about winning 2 games in the next six, when we have only had 1 league win since December. Everytime we think we can't get any worse, it does. It's not like we are unlucky either, in that we are losing games, when we are playing well. We are just shyte. Of course, I do hope our players find something from somewhere and claw us out of this mess of their doing.

Don't ask me why, but I don't think we will finish 11th and face a play off.

We can beat Livi and Kilmarnock - but not if we play the way we have been. Clearly we can't fight and the few that can are small, older or injured. A while without rain would help. Armstrong, Cameron and Keskinen can take players on and create but if the going is soft? Typically, it's due to rain on Friday I notice.

I read somewhere that 38 points is usually the threshold to avoid the relegation play off. So 2 wins and 2 draws in last 6 games is needed. Taking 3 points off Livingston and Kilmarnock is crucial.

It’s strange that recently there never seems to be a point where both Scotland and Aberdeen are doing well, only one or the other. I think Hearts are going to bottle the league, their last two matches they have lost to Kilmarnock and drawn against Livi. They are one loss away from dropping off the top for the first time this season, and if they do their confidence will go. Unfortunately relegation is looking likely for us at the moment. Both teams below us are in better form, and should we end up in a playoff it will be a battle. With fight sorely lacking in the team there isn’t much suggestion of being able to overcome this. Of course things can change quickly an unlikely win on Saturday might take us above Dundee, and confidence obviously plays a massive part. Hopefully Robinson has learned something about the squad (as he has suggested) from the past few games which helps us.

Not sure anyone has said we’ll be ok because of the 4 home games left - I certainly didn’t. It’s more that its clearly better than 4 away games would be, so gives us a glimmer of hope. We need something to cling to. Agree it’ll come down to someone being worse than us, likely hopefully Killie, but the fixtures will play a part in that. We’re due to play them up here, & St Mirren. That’s way preferable to us having to go down there, not even close…

Personally, I blame Scotland for qualifying for the World Cup, it set the world into a chaos spin. Hearts will win the league and we’re going down. What an absolute shitshow and I can’t believe any of the three are happening. But here we are.

I thought we could do with a thread to discuss our impending relegation (or survival). I think we're doomed. I'm starting to come to terms with over 120 years of top flight football coming to an end.

Our lot have shown is nothing to suggest they are capable of beating anyone and I see no reason at all this weekend will be any different. 0-2 (or 3) to Hibs and with Killie beating Dundee, Timothy likely to beat St Mirren then we will be heading into the post split games with us, Killie and St Mirren on 30 points each. Squeaky squeaky bum time indeed, and I know the two teams that my money would be home to have enough fight and dig about them to finish 9th and 10th and avoid the play-off spot

Aye, it was obvious to everyone watching last summer too, it wasn't with hindsight that we're saying it. It's not just the summer either, it was continued in January. Clarkson, Polvara are miles better than those that have replaced them, and Nilsen leaving is just absurd. Focusing on bringing in more lightweight shite like Cameron too was just ridiculous.

Just watched the 'highlights'. Their first goal, we made the scorer look like prime Messi. Was a good goal to be fair. The least said about their second the better. Story of our season.

Having Knoester and Devlin back soon could make a big difference. Also, minority here, but I thought Aremu had a good second half on Saturday and Robinson may stick with him.

One league win since December and some reckon we'll be okay as four home games left to play Hate to break it to you, but we're equally as shit at home. IF Hibs go in front early on Saturday, Pittodrie will be toxic. There is no spirit of 95 vibe on or off pitch. I think our best chance of survival, is Killie being worse than us, but I wouldn't bank on it.

The nba is pretty good at the moment, no longer LeBron, Steph, and kawhi Leonard, wemby, joker, Tatum, shai, Cade cunningham, good young players, plus Luca doncic obviously in LA. Agree on the ranking though, hate that side of it and there’s talk of rule changes in regards to how that plays out in relation to the bottom teams and the draft.

Enjoy watching Wembanyana at Spurs, Jokic at Denver and Doncic even though he is at the Lakers. Seems to be a few teams in rebuild mode this season and possibly tanking for draft positions. Something that I don’t like in US sport. See in in the Hockey and NFL as well.

Finished 3-0 to River which was about right on the balance of play. Corinthians v Internacional on now on Premier Sport 2. Been shite so far with no shots on target after 35 minutes. Don’t think I am going to stick this out.

I watched it in Scotland in the late 80s I think, we started to get nba games on Chanel 4 maybe? Got here in 95 so got the end of Jordan, Pippen, and the bulls, the Houston team, Knicks and Ewing etc., Barkley, basically when it was better bball. Now it’s a little soft, diff type of game, but entertaining all the same. golden state were fun with Klay and Curry in their prime, it’s the thunder and spurs that are top dogs these days, good young players.

Scott Burns article end of March quoting Robinson saying he might be back for last few games.

Last I saw from club was that Knoester was waiting for all clear from medical team but they were hopeful he might be back for last 3 or 4 games. Been no update on him since that I have seen.

1-0 River at half time. River the better team and probably should be further ahead.

I thought that Knoester was out for the remainder of the season and that Devlin might be available for the last couple of games.

I watch a bit of NBA and been to Golden State games a few times in the old stadium in Oakland and once in new stadium in San Francisco. Got into it watching Larry Birds’s Boston team in 80s. More recently been lucky enough to see Warrior team with Steph Curry and Clay Thompson but Warriors this season have been poor and Steph isn’t getting any younger.
