Dutchy 1,200 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It seems totally nonsensical to me for the final of the play-offs to be a two legged game. Surely, it's a final and it only commands one game. Then again, the SPFL and money collecting from the fans are no strangers. Greedy bastards in fact!

GOAT 30,449 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Tbh, I'm more confident in two legged games than one offs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 19,113 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Where would they host a one off final? Hampden would be half empty if we didn't make the final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,654 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 When you don't have a bumper TV deal like EPL you have to find a way to milk as much money as possible out of the game, that's the only reason. If the 50% rule wasn't in effect it would be a one off game at a neutral venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It's because Rangers are likely to win the first one, it's only fair the loser gets another chance to knock us out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Fair enough, I see the point of where would it be played. Still, it does seem to go against the grain of fairness as far as finals go. I think the last time I remember a two-legged final for an important game was during the days of the 'Fairs Cup'. Stupid and horrible way to treat the fans of Scottish football. It seems dungcatcher will do anything to feck up the game up here. Although he doesn't need to work too hard to do so.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The SPFL were asked this question the other day and they answered "just cause, alright". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mols94 3,669 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It happens in the Mexican league. The top 8 teams go into playoffs and the final is a two legged game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearethepeople72 1,847 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Somewhere else.They manage it with the Ramsdens/Petrofac CupThey have months in advance to plan that though. With the play-offs we only know who's playing who about a week before the games take place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionMen 411 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 2-legged tie's suit us. Lesser teams pull off 90-minute cup upsets all the time. 2-legged ties make it harder for the underdog, the best team should win. If we can't beat Hibs over 2 matches then Motherwell over 2 matches we don't deserve it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson 4,670 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The whole play off thing is designed to keep the premier league club in the premier league.This... And if we were in the top flight our club would be voting for self-preservation too, as we have done in the past.So please ditch the rampant paranoia as some of us are starting to sound like the mentally deranged lowlife that stalks the Gallowgate.

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 And if there was a vote right now, I bet most of our fans would prefer a two-legged tie rather than a one-off 'sudden death' final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
