yep,

hopefully they can do the biz next week though against Dundee which would keep them in the relegation playoff spot (with hopefully livi going up and Dundee coming down)


interesting `new firm` derby for last game of season as well, if Dundee Utd win they they go joint fourth with aberdeen and if it`s 1-0, then looks like they`ll be on same goal difference

Apart from Motherwell and Aberdeen, time runs out on all the provincial clubs at some point. Well done to St.Johnstone, they have done well in their time in the Premiership.

Suspect they’ll invest heavily on returning. Listening to interviews and reading reports, they have ambitious owners themselves along with a likeable Manager who seems to be pretty astute at what he does.

St Johnstone coming down is probably the best for us as apparently they are pretty skint. Don’t want Ross county or Dundee coming down. Would prefer whichever one of them finishes 11th wins their playoff game because I think livi will be weaker next year than this year once the parachute payment money has run out.

United`s goal difference (-10) is already two goals better (or less worse!) than that of Aberdeen (-12), so any United win will give them 4th place.

The relegation issues were affected significantly last night by a contentious penalty awarded by Nick Walsh to Ross County in added time in their game at Dundee. They equalised which meant SJ were relegated, Ross County still had a chance of avoiding the play-offs, and Dundee were no longer clear of the play-offs which they would have avoided if they had held on to win 1-0!

It was a `handball` decision which he gave after some hesitation and VAR did not get involved.

Does the parachute money not last for 2 seasons if a team is not promoted….i thought it was?

According to the SPFL articles of association:

"Parachute Payments to 12th placed Club in the Premiership

159.1. Subject to Articles 158.2 and 158.3 fee payments, Parachute Payments, shall
be made by the Company for each of the two Seasons immediately following
relegation of any Club relegated from 12th place in the Premiership to the
Championship from time to time of the lesser of £300,000 and 2.43% of the
Net Commercial Revenues in the Season following such relegation and the
lesser of £125,000 and 1.01% of the Net Commercial Revenues in the second
Season following such relegation.

The Parachute Payments payable for each
such Season shall be paid to the owner and operator of such Club at the
commencement of the relevant Season(s) following relegation."

So Livingston will get a smaller payment next year from parachute payments. They are also receiving £650k from UEFA solidarity payments by the end of June. Something which Premiership clubs voted against diluting down to the Championship clubs, not so surprisingly

Does that Article mean that Livi would get a parachute payment next season even if they get promoted back to the Premiership via this season`s play-offs?

St J look to be a bit of a mess coming down. As many as 17 players out of contract. Allan Preston speaking on BBC last night discussing where a fair amount of concern lies with owners and finances etc.

If Ikpezu was available (and able to replicate some of his performances he had at hearts) id take him in a heartbeat

No, the second parachute payment expires if the club manages to get promoted again.

They`ve done brilliantly for such a small club. They`ll be celebrating their cup double season for years to come. I`d chop off a hand* just to win one piece of significant silverware, never mind 2.

I hope livi lose the final.

I don`t known exactly why, but I have a bit of a soft spot for the Clubs from the other small cities, St Johnstone, Stirling Albion and Caley Thistle. A wee preseason warm-up tournament between the four of us, perhaps The Four Cities Cup, would appeal to me, although I can appreciate not everyone would be interested.

Livingston have just been bought over by the great great grandson of Henry Ford, Calvin Ford.

At least St.Johnstone have a grass pitch. Wouldn`t mind seeing Dundee back down with us. Good if Livi go up. Take their awful pitch with them. But Ross County is too far away.
