OzzieBear 204 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 How does the league work these days. How many times do we play each team, before the split? I am guessing 3. How do they work out home and away. Before and after the split? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assegai 66,353 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Once if it's a team from the north, twice from the central belt and 3 times from south of the central belt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,676 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Pretty sure It's not 3 mate. Think it's 33. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,676 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The home/away fixtures are based on a prediction as to how teams will finish based on the previous season or something is it not? To try and get it as close as possible that the big teams will play each other twice home and twice away overall. It's something like that, meaning sometimes it won't work out and the home-away aspect will be askew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,935 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If we actually had to play each team home and away, the split would mean we would have to play the tarriers, sheep, hibs and hearts away... it’s mental Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same number of games (4) against the bigger teams and fewer against the wee ones (3) so fewer shit games for us. End of season dogfight games between bottom teams, top teams and teams fighting for Europe. Something extra to play for for mid table teams, namely being in the top 6 at the split. The end season playoff for relegation has been very exciting too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,260 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So it looks as if we will be away after the split to Piggery,Pittodrie and Easter Road.or Tynecastle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,297 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 We just play friendlies here til the beggars either claim they'll tour Japan or pull 3 players out of international games. Then we award them the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So effectively team X could be in 7th before the split, but actually finish the league with enough points to be in third place. Albeit the last 5 games would be against easier opposition than if they were in the top 6 before the split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say they only finish with more points because it's shit teams they play against. Best way is to just take it as two separate leagues from that point then that's not an issue. Its just a small problem of perception. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theulstervolunteer 1,859 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Should be a 16 team premier league playing each team home and away once...with 3 going down and 3 coming up A 16 team championship that should have playoffs for the 3 rd spot.... A 3rd div should have 10 teams ....with 2 getting promoted .... sorted!.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that it would destroy the Championship, which is a right good wee league just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
