Dundee's remaining games before the split look bl00dy awful.

Will they even pick up a point?

Was thinking the same what a two leg final that would be if both clubs from the city were to meet.

Wish the official fixture lists were done like this.

Is two legs the number broken after the final whistle?

It would likely be the first ever football match with a parental guidance certificate (and that's just for the warm up).

[Rajamaki's Ponytail]

Wasn't last season's playoffs completely ignored except for the final game, which was then on BT Sports?

Nope.

[A Livi Fan]

Think a Livi v Dundee final would be tasty. Dont see it happening though

[Poet of the Macabre]

Imagine it was Hamilton-Livi

Never realised it was so tight goal difference wise. 

[Coventry Saint]

Wow. We really don't need to play any more games.

No way will that happen. Brechin to get another point? Yeah, right.

[Donathan]

 I’d go 11th v 4th over two games, winner then plays third place over two legs, with the subsequent winner playing second over two legs.
Still makes it hard for third and fourth to get promoted (as it should) but properly penalises eleventh..
 

Nah I think 11th should always be the “seeded” team as it were, but I don’t see the point in letting teams into the playoffs if you aren’t going to give them a realistic chance of winning it.

[dafc_lee]

I hope we end up finishing out season like so

Queens (h) win
Livingston (h) win
Falkirk (a) draw
Brechin (h) win
Inverness (a) draw
Dumbarton (h) win

Our next 3 are massive and will go a long way to determine our fate. The 2 away games are not easy tho. If I am correct with the predictions we should have done enough to sneak into the play offs

Do you not hope you’ll win all your matches? 

[Stellaboz]

We'll lose the next two home games no doubt. AJ out.
