BTW that’s a view I held and expressed when we were still in the Premier League. Aye, the team in 11th in the top league may have the opportunity to rest players pre and chill before two games that will shape everything about their club, whereas even the team finishing 2nd usually has 4 games in usually around 9-10 days and as you know, theses games are high intensity and not in any means routine. It is laughable that the powers that run our game feel that 6 games in the play offs should happen within a 2 week or so period will help our game flourish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance of power lying firmly with the top flight clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The play off final should be one leg not 2 biggest cluster f**k of an idea by the SPFL on that logic you might as well play the any of the Cup finals over 2 legs not just the one.

JinkyBairn Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 How often does Shodwall go on about the league being “shite”? Give it up ffs. Awaiting the comment that our team a few years ago would romp it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loading in favour of the top league side is utterly ludicrous as is the percentage rip off of gate receipts to give the top flight side a wad (should they get relegated). When there’s not a lot to choose between 2nd bottom and second top, it’s paramount to cheating to install further barriers (in the form of two additional games) to try and exhaust the Championship side before they face their “elite” opponents.

I doubt the 11th team will have the luxury of kicking back end enjoying the last few post-split games as they are likely scrapping for their lives to avoid 12th or make safety at 10th.

Awaiting the comment that our team a few years ago would romp it. Do you think otherwise like? Footballs all about timing and our bod are horrendous at it. No point in having a decent team when the league is almost impossible to win and then shitting the bed when the standard drops considerably like we have.I've been watching Falkirk for 40 odd years the majority of it in this division so I think I've got enough experience of the league to be able to tell when the standard is feckin rank. The fact that County who are top of the league struggled badly against possibly the worst Falkirk side in 30 years the last time we played says it all. Just makes our situation even more embarrassing unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
