Kerrydale Street-The Sevco thread - You can say huns mate! (2024)

Don’t care if they win tonight or not. Their balls up on Sunday has put our own destiny back in our hands. Anything from tonight is an extra bonus. We just need to keep winning one game at a time.

I don't want to appear like I am nit picking but our destiny was already in our own hands before their balls-up on Sunday. It just give us more breathing room and put more pressure on them.

Objectively, this is a real chance for Dundee tonight. Sevco are a poor side, under pressure, and with lots of players losing form at just the wrong (right) time.

But...

They are averaging a penalty a game over the last 5 league matches. More than one every two games since October (an incredible return). Any time they are in trouble, they get a spot kick. That, I think, is what is making most of us think they will win tonight.

Make no mistake: if the ref and VAR team were non-Scottish, I'd say dropped points were a real possibility. But the SFA Lodge remains their great get-out-of-jail-free card.

Hard to call - probably huns will win it with help from VAR
However, there's enough doubt for me to watch it

I didn't watch most of it on Sunday and then when I did put it on at 3-1 they scored.

So I won't watch any of it tonight.

I've also worked out that they rarely seem to have scored if I check livescore but with only my right eye open. So I'll try that again tonight.

I literally pished myself when County scored their first so I had to sit on a binbag drinking water and pishing myself continuously until they got to three before my Mrs came in and spoiled it, allowing the hun to score
She's at the bingo tonight, so all good.

Pointed this out weeks ago, they are wide open on the counter, simple balls over the top cause them no end of issues.

If we win this league, Clements next problem is how he funds next season. They frontloaded most of his summer cash for Silvas and Cortes 6 months wages, plus the compulsory fee for the wee boy with a sore thumb.

Sima who is probably their most effective player isn't theirs and they have a few out of contract.

If we win the league, he won't have this problem as he will be back in Belgium managing some mid table mediocre crap.

With every minute that passes without them scoring, the probability of a VAR check for a minor infringement in the penalty area increases. I call it 'Tav's Law'.

I fully expect to see a demonstration of it tonight if they dont score in first 20.

No way man. I want to hear how disappointed he is at every opportunity.
Also, they might replace him with a kid who will actually try.

I know it was, but they have given us the extra wee bump from their balls up. As you say we have a bit more wriggle room than them

The fact the press have finally mentioned that they're on course for a world record number of penalties this season, could work against them.

In much the same way that they finally conceded a league penalty 20 minutes before their last world record attempt... the refs don't want that kind of exposure.

Och not too bothered about the score tonight, they'll probably get a penalty and squeeze a win, but hopefully there's a couple of slipped discs and a concussion or two to set them up for a horrible weekend.

Can one place a bet that Sevco get a penalty in every match from now until the end of the season (and if so how would one do that? Sorry, Ive never place a bet before in my life).

Betref or Ludgebrokes is your best options.

I hope Dundee put sprinklers on before it starts

The MontanaCSC have been working on the pitch from early this morning.

Send me your bank details and I'll put it on for you, promise

I'm more concerned about the fact they're playing St Mirren in the 28th hour of the day...

They are definitely definitely getting a penalty tonight at least.

With "well known bluenose" Alan Muir in charge of defending their title attempts tonight, then it's put the mortgage on territory.

If the refs and VAR team were non-Scottish in all games we would have already had the league wrapped up by December!
