Guest JTS98 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I don't like head-to-head as it might give far too much weight to luck or a refereeing decision. For example, imagine if two teams have three draws between them and finish level on points but one team has spent the season tearing sides to bits while another has scraped out a bunch of 1-0s. Yet, if a referee wrongly awarded a penalty and red card early on in one of their head-to-head games, giving the 1-0 team a jammy win they could go into the last game of the season 3 points ahead and champions despite not being the best side. Under goal difference, you lessen the impact of a mistake like that. With head-to-head it can be utterly decisive. We can see this in the Champions League too. Goal difference rewards long-term performance and quality. Also, who says head-to-head actually matters? If Team A and Team B finish on level points, is it really in any way significant that team A beat Team B 2-0 in October and only lost 1-0 to them in March? Who cares? It gives far too much weight to one good or bad day. Poor system. Edited October 21, 2019 by JTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I always thought it was Points, GD, Goals Scored, head to head in that order? Also the tit for tat on these threads every time one or the other drops points is absolutely tragic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to head is only used if the first three are equal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Will be interesting to hear how Clyde SSB observe and respond to the "sickening" (copyright daily record) racist abuse aimed at morelos by el gummo at Tynecastle. ANY racist abuse is abhorrent, but with the latest aimed at one of their own, will they call it out for the shameful behaviour it was, or are they likely to ignore the subject in case Declan from Lourdes calls in to ask about the regular happenings at the govan arena since 1691 ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get why there's confusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no difference in Dundee or auld reekie when city rivals drop points. Sevco the noisy neighbours plus a lot of posters on here think the challenge is real this season I have my doubts. Sevco dropped only 36 points last season with close to 30 new players the improvement can been justified? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rocket that does them both is Simon Leslie and it’s not official, just some fans tv rubbish that’s on YouTube every week. Lots of clubs have them but most aren’t as entertaining as this lot. You posted something from the office, maybe try again? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
