We need to concentrate on beating a County side who have started picking up results. Our home form this season has been really poor, to the point where I'd be more confident if this was an away game.

The play-off will only occur when the position of the teams affects the outcome of the title, European qualification, relegation, or second stage group allocation and shall not occur otherwise. So basically Livi would finish above us because they beat us on head-to-head results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No goals scored comes before head to head. We have scored more I also read it as head to head comes into effect at the end of the season when we have played each other twice at the split it will 2 away and 1 home Edited March 9, 2021 by Johnny B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If head-to-head isn't used at this stage, how would they know who to put into the top 6 and who to put into the bottom 6? Surely it could be used at any point of the season to rank teams when required, in the same way that goal difference is used throughout the season.

First 2 Livi get the nod last 2 played not resolved I think they'd use all three. Get what you're saying about Livi having an unfair advantage but the entire league format is set up around that same unfair balance. I don't think they can suddenly start saying it's unfair in some scenarios but not in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article somewhere that mentioned the traditional home advantage just hasn't existed this season, apart from Rangers. No teams have really had a solid record at home.

Rob Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 The cup win and a good run of form seems to be having an odd affect on some. Anyone actually think that Saints can win 4-1. All we can hope is that Saints beat Ross County by any margin and St Mirren get beat. Its a chance that at the turn of the year we wouldnt have thought possible.

You are quite right we are getting all excited about a set of results which are most unlikely to happen and which could run into the sand as early as Saturday if Livi pick up a single point. Our main hope rests on beating County ( 1 - 0 will do) and hoping St Mirren don't win. We can afford for them to draw so long as is not 4 0r 5 all.

Just discussing how the league would work things out in that scenario. R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 If they call the season now, at least we won the cup. 7th fine by me when we looked like we could possibly get relegated early in the season. Would call it a successful season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
