jamd1986 8 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 What happens? Is the league shared or does it become a head-to-head against Celtic? Even then I'm afraid I don't think its going to happen. We'll never make up that goal difference for a start and I don't think Celtic will lose to Dundee United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big-jonesy51 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Im sure it comes down to goals SCORED and if we were to win 7-8 nil tonight and then win at aberdeen then we would be well ahead on goals scored,not sure if im correct here,but im more than 90% sure.Could someone clear this up?

bluepeter 5,627 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 We have scored 81, conceded 31, difference 50. They have scored 83, conceded 26, difference 57. If we were to win 7-0 tonight, we would have scored 88, conceded 31, difference 50. We match their score on Thursday night, and we win it by goals scored (unless we win 1-0 and they win 6-5, in which case it would be an exact tie ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the rules have ever officially been changed from the toss of a coin That would be interesting. I'm sure they must have been changed, it would have to involve a play off, thus extending the league and compromising the integrity of the competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamd1986 8 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 No faith? God I really wish I did this year Jiggaman. Obviously I'll continue to support the team right to the death. I just think its so unlikely due to the fact we lack attacking players who can change games in an instant. Its going to be very hard for us to change into an all out attacking team in the space of a few days due to the fixture pile up. Dundee Utd have done nothing against Celtic in recent years (or very little) but they damn sure play better against us, so it just leads me to assume that this will continue. I've never wanted to be so wrong though... Having said all that I do have a little hope that it could swing dramatically in our favor again. Obviously, we'll just need to wait and see if that may the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it can happen is if Dundee Utd score at least 5 goals against Celtc. Just forget it, it's not going to happen.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 As someone else mentioned if that were to happen it would be a play off, according to the SPL rule book, which would be held at a neutral venue, in this case probably Hampden. If it were to happen I wonder if Celtic and their fans in high places insist that it is played on the Monday night straight after the Scottish Cup final so there wouldn't be any delay and prevent the league from being extended too much.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 After GD then goals for, it's then shared. Not according to the regs, as it could have a bearing on qualification for the CL then it would be a play off: A6.3 If any two or more Clubs are equal in points at the end of the Season, the higher placed Club shall be the Club with the larger or largest positive goal difference (or the lower or lowest negative goal difference where appropriate). Goal difference shall be determined by deducting the goals conceded from the goals scored in all League Matches played during the Season. In the event of the goal difference being equal, the higher placed Club shall be the Club, which has scored most goals in League Matches during the Season. A6.4 If two or more Clubs have the same goal difference and have scored the same number of goals in the relevant Season and their positions in the League have a bearing on deciding which Club is the Champion Club or the relegation of any Club or qualification (or consideration for qualification) for any other competitions including UEFA Competitions, then the Clubs concerned shall play-off a deciding League Match on a date and at a neutral ground as determined by the Board in each case. Such deciding League Match shall be of 90 minutes duration with 30 minutes of extra time and kicks from the penalty mark if necessary. The net gate money after deducting expenses shall be divided equally between the competing Clubs. http://www.scotprem.premiumtv.co.uk/static...02~96806,00.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one clown on a phone in saying that after points, goal diff and goals scored, it went to goals conceded. What a muppet! Yes. He was a tim. I guess the basic arithmetic was beyond him.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Celtic won't lose on Thursday. Half the Utd team have left on holiday already and previous refereeing cowardice means that there's too much pressure on the referee at Tannadice not to do them one final favour if necessary. In all likelihood, they're gonna get 3 or decisions going their way. Refs like the status but they also like their double glazing. They prefer their children un-slashed too.
