Deathray 2,941 Posted February 27, 2016 So, Fort took a 6-1 drubbing today; but their goal difference of -61 is still less than half as bad as that of winless Rothes who sit five points below them with a goal difference of -123. Make that SIX points below them to all intents and purposes, then. Fucking hell. Did they lose 40-0 in a match or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still minded that Deathlisters should stay the course with the Fort, mind. This isn't a normal Rothes season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, I think myself and PB are the only posters hereabouts to have parted with cash to watch The Fort. Striker with a beer gut, pub football standards at best the one time I went. Ironically it was a home game with Rothes I watched, Fort lost 0-4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most league teams would recognise that as play off form. Regular visitors to this thread will remember where they were when they heard this news. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted March 11, 2016 On the other hand we could start our countdown to ecstacy now. NINE points clear of bottom with 18th place Rothes still chasing a possible 24 points from their remaining games (yeah, dream on!) So, Fort will be certain of avoiding bottom spot well before the hostilities of the season cease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted March 25, 2016 So, as gripping to the nation as Leicester's quest for the Prem: If Rothes lose against lowly Strathspey tomorrow then their maximum points are equal to Fort's current total - but Fort's goal difference is surely beyond Rothes to overhaul If Fort fluke so much as a point against high-flying Cove and Rothes lose...bottom spot is decided tomorrow In the more likely scenario that both teams keep losing to the end of the season, it's over on Wednesday Or some variation on the above. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
