Tekel Towers » What week do you think we will win the Championship?

Tek · 22/2/2020 12:35 am

I reckon it will be Qots at Tannadice.

Friday 3rd April.

PatReilly · 22/2/2020 12:43 am

21st March v Alloa.

TheShed · 22/2/2020 5:14 am

Alloa at home possibly, Arbroath away looking more likely now I think.

CCX2 2010 · 22/2/2020 7:39 am

Apparently the 14th March is Steak and blowjob day, we play Morton that day so I am going for that.

Not much chance of me getting any of the first two. 😁

ICT have a cup game next week so potentially looking like 3 games in hand. Therefore every chance we might win it mathematically without even playing.

blackandtangerine · 22/2/2020 9:42 am

It's already won!

That’s what I thought driving home last night, that would be pish.

Beharder · 22/2/2020 10:22 am

Hopefully at home so the regulars can be there to see it. I take that this is the first time in our 111yr history that we have been 21pts clear at the top of the league?

Tangerine'n'Black · 22/2/2020 10:41 am

Cappielow has been the one i’ve Been thinking it will be but would be better a full Tannadice for Alloa the week after.

No it will still be 2 games in hand, they play one of their current games in hand on Tuesday at Dunfermline.

I can see the dropping points there and will definitely be backing the Pars to inflict another disappointing result on ICT.

The game against Alloa on 21/3/20 will do for me in terms of winning the league, as it would be nice to at home asap.

kdyteejay · 22/2/2020 11:49 am

I hope it’s the Alloa game as I’m on holiday the week before.

I'm going for Gayfield, the last Friday in March. Will need a ticket.

Arabdownsouth · 22/2/2020 2:33 pm

BBC website saying we only need 13 points to seal the title, I don't know who does the maths for them lol. No doubt the title is ours anyway but mathematically Ayr can still amass 77 points and Inverness 75 if either was to win all their remaining games. 13 points gives us 70. As I said, no one is catching us now but I still hate when stats are so obviously wrong.

Arabnophobia · 22/2/2020 10:07 pm

No sure at all. Won't be going by BBC or Arabian crystal balls.

Just booking holidays aff work and switching shifts to get to all games.

Had a wee feeling it'd be Inverness away on 11th of April.
Booked accommodation for us, game switched to Friday but still works out but now find if Inverness beat Hibs in the Scottish Cup on Friday night our game will be moved for the 3rd time as Easter weekend is the next round(semis) of the Scottish Cup.

Arbroath will have their biggest home support for decades if that's a potential title clincher.

Fuck all chance of us getting a seat together then? 😢

Once it is confirmed, what players would you like to see given a chance in the first team? For me:

Deniz (nothing to do with Benji, he just deserves a game or 2)

Kieran Freeman: could be an option for next season as back-up

Lewis Neilson: seems to be up there with Mochrie in terms of how highly rated he is. As a CB/CM though its harder to bleed him into those positions.

Chris Mochrie: has certainly shown in flashes what he can do. Would like to see him start a game and see what he was capable of.

Declan Glass: I know he's started 2 games already for us this season, but I want him to get a good run of games to get him as ready as possible for next season.

Here's a potential line up for one of our 'pointless' games towards the end of the season:

Deniz

Freeman
Neilson
Connolly
Robson

Butcher
Glass
Mochrie

McMullan
Appere
Shankland

I'm liking your promotion of our rising stars LEK but I'm not sure it works that way.
We've got the close season & pre-season to sort out our Survival/Topsix XI for 20/21.
We will pick our strongest XI to the excellent end and you'll not see a semi-reserve XI trotting out in any 'pointless' game, there's no such thing.

Going by some RN interviews mate I wouldnt be so sure. He has mentioned (as did Asghar in his DCT podcast) that they want to give some young players game time before the end of the season.

Granted, it is probably unlikely that we make 6 or 7 changes to the team any given week, but it'd be a safe bet that the lads listed above will get a chance to start a game before seasons end.

TheShed · 23/2/2020 12:17 pm

There has to be young players given decent game time between now and the end of season, its the only way to truly judge if they’re good enough. If we don’t then it’s a massive missed opportunity

Shedtastic · 23/2/2020 2:26 pm

We have to be respectful to other teams fighting relegation etc, we start putting out weakened teams and they won't be happy.

Our only concern is ourselves. Other teams issues are their own problem.

That's probably the closest you can get to an OF answer......

What a lot of shite. You’re right we shouldn’t bother developing our own young talent because Alloa or Partick might get upset.

AlonsMosely · 23/2/2020 3:12 pm

Who gives a toss about any other club in the league.....an old firm answer...oh dear
