| 5. Author: parsfan Date: Fri 24th Jul 2026. 19:58 Assuming we win but not by three, we`ll have 9 points and +6 or 7. [b]Group A[/b] Expect Aberdeen to beat Kelty and win the group. If QotS don`t get something from Lesser, Queen`s Park end up with 9 points and a minimum of +4. So don`t want QP to win by more than three more than us (or a really high scoring two more). [b]Group B[/b] We want Montrose to get at least a point from bottom placed Spartans at home to win the group. That puts Dundee United in second on 9 points, +7 and scored 8. We`d need to win by two. Alternatively, Spartans win and we`re a better second. [b]Group C[/b] Cove Dumbarton game irrelevant to this. [b] Group D[/b] Doesn`t look good. Expect Dundee to beat Clyde at home so we`d need Airdrie to either win or have a losing draw at home to Ross County. Likelihood is second place will have more points than us. [b]Group E[/b] Beyond us. Partick top with 9 and +10, but played all four. Second v third with Stenny (8 +3) home to Livi (7 +10). No result has a second worse than our best. [b]Group F[/b] Ideally a draw with bonus point for St Johnstone at home to East Fife. Or, if they win, we don`t want them to win by 2 more than us. [b]Group G[/b] Doesn`t matter. Best second is 7 points. [b]Group H[/b] Doesn`t matter. Best second is 8 points. Two in our favour already, one against. We`d need three out of the other four groups to go our way. One`s unlikely and another our best chance is to win by two. I think we`ll need to win by three, but well know for sure this time tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 6. Author: onandupthepars Date: Fri 24th Jul 2026. 20:54 I think the likelihood of us beating the Saints by one or two goals and qualifying in second place is so remote that I gave up working it out after group E. For example, as far as I can see: 1. The second place team from group E will qualify regardless of further results. 2. Queens Park must not beat QOS, or they`ll qualify. 3. Montrose must lose at home to Spartans or they`ll be through in second place as well. 4. And if Dundee win at home v Clyde, Ross County must not get more than one point or that`s another strong candidate for a second place qualifier. So I`m not even gonna look at any others. In other words if my recky is correct, we`re out unless we beat Saints by three goals. Post Edited (Fri 24 Jul 21:04) Reply |
| 7. Author: onandupthepars Date: Fri 24th Jul 2026. 21:00 I think you`re right about Queen`s Park, parsfan. Also, your analysis of group B is more accurate than mine, so well done. But I still think we`re a busted flush. Post Edited (Fri 24 Jul 21:10) Reply |
