Nk89 1,480 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 How does this make sense.. By the time it comes to the spilt we will have been to Parkhead, Fir park, Easter Road, and Pittodrie twice, they will only have been to Ibrox and said venues once! That computer is soo random, that for the 2nd year in a row this has happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 45,760 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 No such thing as a computer that generates random fixtures. Total myth. Been carefully calculated by the powers for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM Monitor And Standards Officer 113,489 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 This didn't happen at all last year btw we had played hibs, Aberdeen and the fenians all at home first.

jackg93 476 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I was reading there was an agreement which every club signed (when the split came into force) that meant there was a risk that one club could play 20 home or away games for the season and only 18 of the other. It literally makes no sense (and this is actually happened once or twice). I don't know another league in the world where we don't know our last opponent of the season but that's Scottish football i suppose. If it stays the same as it is now i imagine the fixtures will be similar to the below: Ibrox: celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen Away: Livingston & Dundee United Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPWF 9,039 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Surely it’s a good thing if we’ve played the rest of the top 6 away twice before the split? It means we play them at home post split. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it stays the same as it is now i imagine the fixtures will be similar to the below: Ibrox: celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen Away: Livingston & Dundee United I'm sure it has happened where a team has played 20 home and 18 away though not as a title decider . Its more likely to end up with us playing a team 3 times away and them 3 times at home if it does end up c....c , aberdeen, hibs and motherwell in the top 6 just to balance the home / away ratio , with i suspect the extra away game against one of the easier teams . Its actually happened a few times . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think it happens most seasons that a team end up playing 20 & 18 home and away instead of 19 & 19. Pretty sure they try to stop it happening to us or them though. I know they made it so that the split going against one of us wouldn't matter in terms of the Old Firm game as that will always be 2 at theirs and 2 at ours. We just have to keep winning so that it's redundant in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Peterson 348 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Looking at the league table just now and below is sit celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs, Livingston and Dundee Utd. St Mirrem in 7th but with 3 games in hand. At the split we will have been to parkhead, pittodrie, easter road and livi away twice. Dundee is the only one who we would naturally go to. We will be made to go to one of them 3 times and should have 3 home 2 away. If St Mirren made it in place of Livingston it would work perfectly.
