Sorry for this. I maybe am straying into realms that are way above my jakey mind. Im gonna try and sort this as its been bugging me all season.

What am i talking about here?

I'm talking about teams that play a certain way and get results v another team that plays a certain way and thus improve the chances of another team c a team similary minded. Still i make no sense. It all comes from Arbroath being real shit this year after they were expected to go well. they have went well but only against elgin city. If it suits them to beat elgin does it suit another team to beat elgin? anyhow i will go get some data to make this credable as anyone that knows me knows im just back from my dealers with a big chunk of smoke and i could well just be talking shit.

Scottish League Cup Arbroath 4-2 Albion 08-08-2007
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 4-0 Elgin City 01-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 Forfar 1-3 Arbroath 15-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 1-0 Albion 22-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 2-3 Arbroath 29-09-2007
Scottish FA Cup Arbroath 5-0 Elgin City 27-10-2007
Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 1-3 Arbroath 08-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 East Fife 0-2 Arbroath 26-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 2-0 Elgin City 19-01-2008
Scottish Division 3 Stenh'semuir 0-3 Arbroath 02-02-2008
Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 0-1 Arbroath 09-02-2008
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 2-0 East Stirling 27-02-2008
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 2-1 Montrose 01-03-200

Albion x2
Elgin x4
East Stirling x3

So we can asitate that Arbroath does well v the 3 above. Now i need to know about other teams that do well against the above. Probably easier for me just to see who's been beating who and to see if there is any patterns

Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 3-2 Albion 15-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 6-0 East Stirling 22-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 Stenh'semuir 2-3 Elgin City 06-10-2007
Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 2-1 Dumbarton 20-10-2007
Scottish Division 3 Albion 3-4 Elgin City 01-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 2-0 Stenh'semuir 29-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 Forfar 0-1 Elgin City 02-01-2008
Scottish Division 3 Elgin City 2-1 Montrose 26-01-2008
Scottish Division 3 Dumbarton 1-4 Elgin City 02-02-2008

albion 11
Stenny 11
Dumbarton 11

so Arbroath beat Albion and so does Elgin. this is telling us nothing at all so far but i am hoping that it might. I wonder who albion rovers 'beat'? im betting that we will see some differant teams mentioned.

Scottish Division 3 Montrose 0-1 Albion 04-08-2007
Scottish Division 3 Albion 2-1 Forfar 09-10-2007
Scottish Division 3 Stenh'semuir 0-1 Albion 03-11-2007
Scottish Division 3 Albion 2-0 Dumbarton 10-11-2007
Scottish Division 3 Albion 5-2 Arbroath 15-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 Arbroath 1-4 Albion 16-02-2008

well it tells us nothing doesnt it? I should give this up but i am going to have continue. Im for a coffee but tune in to see more facinating bullshit revealed....

I havent moved from the chai. I'm trying to work out the credability of what i am doing. I realise that i know the the way the games went and that this is actually quite a good thing for me to see. I dont want any influence though. I want the stats to talk to me. I want them to light up something thats happening and we just never saw. I fear the worse though. Still it's good to think scots third division on a wednesday afternoon whilst the walls of jericho fall down.

Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 3-2 Dumbarton 11-08-2007
Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 2-1 Forfar 18-08-2007
Scottish Division 3 Stenh'semuir 0-3 East Stirling 25-08-2007
Scottish Division 3 Albion 2-3 East Stirling 01-09-2007
Scottish Division 3 Forfar 0-2 East Stirling 03-11-2007
Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 3-1 Elgin City 15-12-2007
Scottish Division 3 East Stirling 4-1 Forfar 05-01-2008

Beat Forfar 3 times. If i am to look for any sense in any of this i suppose i would be looking for a team that also have a good record v forfar. If i find one what could i do with it?I have no idea. I hope it all paints it's own picture. I may be mad but that doesnt mean im stupid btw

so Arbroath beat Albion and so does Elgin

so then i would be looking for something that would prove the relationship between Arbroath and Elgin. The only relationship would be East Stirling. Ok dont laugh here. So if Arbroath beat albion and so does Elgin does it then follow that elgin beat east stirling? ive only got their 6-0 win there down. The other game finished 3-1 to East Stirling. There could be anything in that report though to make me keep believing my fantasy theory. Its one of them things you just want 'to work' aint it? dont get me wrong i want to combine science with the art of being able to read a newspaper. So where we at? I still havent had that coffee. Maybe i should.

Right back on course. this is all gonna add up to something.

Arbroath- albion, East stirling, elgin
Elgin- albion, stenhousemuir, dumbarton
East stirling- Forfar
Albion rovers - Arbroath

Man this is fcuked up and not worth considering. the only thing its telling me is that everyone beats albion Rovers. why arent they bottom of the league then? Aye i will give up. Man i feel so bad. Im sorry folks. Sometimes you say you dont care when really you really do. Im almost unforgivable

I wish that turbo and super turbo poker didnt exist. who plays these fcuking things? There seems to be enough of them about. Stan James is a joke with them and now 32red seems to be full of them. Like prssing fcukin on a machine. One good thing for me in life though is that bookmakers have got rid of their fruit machines favouring roulette machines. Phew. I can go in for a pee and coupon now without losing every penny i own in the world. I used to like fruit machines for the bright lights and the feature board. Had some terrible days on them. I was bad on them since an early age. It was a childhood of lighting fruit matrix's for me. Then ater leaving school i would find myself travelling between Redhill and eventually worthing to London where i did my schooling. The fruit machines in the train stations were a killer to me and i would even find myself changing trains before Clapham just for a shot of a particular fruit machine. I didnt know no 'tricks' I was just addicted. the lowest point of my fruit machine 'career' was when i stayed with a girl. We were skint so i phoned a pub i knew and got a 'beg' of £30 to see us through. I went into get the money and was told that the fruit machine was 'well due' I spent that £30 and walked home 8 miles in the rain. I lied to the girl i stayed with and we went to bed early as we had no food or cigs. As we lay there i told her the truth. I told her i had to tell her the truth. we fell out. My only defence was that i had told her the truth. this was no defence. I havent been bad on the fruit mahines for about 2 years now. I was still playing them wehn we first opened aussie soccer stats as i remember spunking a few aussie wins. I played them as i hated myself. I wanted to have nothing. I think thats how it all works
