KingswellsRed Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 44 minutes ago, moanthebairns said: How many have been left out due to the home team only allocating a certain amount, in times due to capacity, but at others to gain an advantage. Falkirk didn't even sell out their allocation at Tannadice last week. I don't see a problem with teams attempting to gain home advantage. Falkirk could easily have given United say half the stand if they wanted to. In general, I would be in favour of an minimum percentage of capacity for away fans for all league games rather than the current "reasonable allocation" rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the final being a one off is the no brainerest of no brainers Tannadice and Hamilton's ground will both be packed. A neutral venue (which you know would be Hampden) would be a quarter full at best! No brainer indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Why are we rewarding failure? They should do away with it completely and have 1 up and 1 down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Why are we rewarding failure? They should do away with it completely and have 1 up and 1 down. Nonsense. The play-offs have been fantastic, and they would be make even better if they do away with the 11th-placed team going into them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 7 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: Well for the sake of my hypothetical arguement, can we say that there is no cause to use Hampden. Its not a national trophy. If you want to argue that 11th place deserves a chance to play off for their survival fine, but I dont think there is really a reasonable arguement for 2 legs and weighting it in their favour. I have no issue with the weighting, though interestingly back when we won the play-offs against Patrick, the second leg was at Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's fairer to have a one off game, where a fluke/ mistake/ poor refereeing decision can decide who gets promotion? Your argument for one game makes no sense whatsoever. There is a legitimate claim for the structure to be 11th v 4th and 3rd v 2nd in the SF's then a two legged final between the winners as in the lower divisions, but other than that the play-offs are great, and bring excitement for a lot of supporters whose season would otherwise have petered out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already heavily weighted in favour of the Premiership team. Is that not enough for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'll say is I have a mate who is employed by Accies and he inexplicably gave me two Accies polo shirts as a leaving present. I didn't have the heart to throw them out and as I don't know the Accies fan, I couldn't give them away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 2 legged tie is certainly the fairest way for a number of reasons already stated. Also makes for a much better spectacle / story when there's f**k all else football on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Should be a straight 2 up 2 down. IMO. Both Hibs and Falkirk would be better options than this ICT/Hamilton/DUFC shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moanthebairns Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Love how people are saying two games insures the best team stays or goes up. Its not unfair you just make sure you finish second. Well same applies if you finish 11th you make sure you don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 On this occasion I'd prefer a one off game at Hampden. United usually bottle it there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpma Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 11 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: I feel that Templeton's fitness (or lack of) is going to be the key for us over these two legs. I'd imagine he'll struggle to last one set of 90 minutes, never mind two, so it'll be interesting to see if he starts tomorrow night. Possible impact sub if when required? ftfy. Templeton + MacKinnon are the reasons why I think we need to get a result in Dundee to kill this tie. One is then suspended, and the other will be knackered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
