Ludo*1 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 One game left to play officially before the split commences - it won't have any effect on anything, however, as we now know our top six and bottom 6 teams. Anyone know when the post split fixtures are released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 There won't be imbalances in home and away matches this season. St Johnstone will probably go to Tynecastle for a third time and Ross County to Celtic Park for a third time to balance things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know when the post split fixtures are released? It should be this evening but Mr Doncaster will do what he did last year. Probably be either Wednesday or Thursday. #Whereareourfixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yeah, this season should work out with every team playing 19 home and 19 away games. Based on how many home and away games each team has played and what teams are due to play each other home and away, it's possible to work out the likely changes.

eindhovendee Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The big question is will they get the Derby out of the way early or gamble that if its last that there's nothing to play for because it's decided. This could still be very funny or very scary now that Killie and the Accies have won games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could still be very funny or very scary now that Killie and the Accies have won games. Killie vs United will be the first game The derby will probably be the third last game, which should be the game to officially relegate us.

DC92 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 - Celtic v St Johnstone for third time - Heart Of Midlothian v Ross County for third time We've only played Ross County at Tynecastle once. It'll be Celtic v Ross County and Hearts v St Johnstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ours work out exactly as it should in terms of 2 at home and two away with the whole top 6 but sadly means no more away games for me this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Is there any permutation that means Dundee can end up in the play off spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 We've only played Ross County at Tynecastle once. It'll be Celtic v Ross County and Hearts v St Johnstone. You're right, got mixed up with all the permutations. Harsh on Ross County having to go there for a third time - hardly a fitting reward for making the top half.

Loki Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Is there any permutation that means Dundee can end up in the play off spot? Dundee losing all their games, Killie picking up another 7 points, and Hamilton picking up another three from their four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Killie would need to win 3 out of 5 plus a draw and Dundee to lose all their games. Given that Killie have won only once in 7 games plus we have a habit of picking up draws I personally can't see it happening. But then stranger things have happened in the past. If we were in freefall ala Hibs I'd be worried but we're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 In order to negate the financial impact of no Dundee derbies next season, the right to relegate us should be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Motherwell: 17 Home, 16 Away St Johnstone: 17 Home, 16 Away Ross County: 17 Home, 16 Away Dundee: 16 Home, 17 Away Partick Thistle: 16 Home, 17 Away Inverness CT: 16 Home, 17 Away It's interesting that, given these six teams are so tightly packed together, it's the three teams that have played an extra home game that eventually made it over three teams that had an extra away game. I'm not against the split in principle but I'm not a fan of playing an odd number of matches before and after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I presume the bottom 6's games will be the 14th of May as opposed to the 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The Hamilton v Kilmarnock game at NDP is building up to be massive. It's giving me the fear.:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eder Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Still not a proper league that you can play sides three times at home and once away or vise versa. The split would be fine if it was even and above board but it's not. Over the course of a season teams blow hot and cold but when you play a team in form after the split and end up playing them 3 times at home or away then it's either an unfair advantage or a unfair disadvantage. Next season with Rangers potentially involved in top six for the first time they could meet Celtic three times either home or away especially if the title is between Aberdeen & Celtic going by the current rules. However we all know this would not be allowed to happen therefore the split is wrong and a solution needed before next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The fact that Celtic & Rangers were the only two clubs to be guaranteed not to have to travel to each other's grounds more than twice a season as everyone else did was what made a mockery of the split and the top league. No doubt it will be back to that way next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
