The rules as they stand might appear to be unreasonable but until they are changed you need to abide by them. Well, as the RealMadrid exchange just showed, sometimes he confidently quotes SPFL rules incorrectly.

FairWeatherFan Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Romania went with the 6/8 split back in 2015-16 since then the difference between 6th and 7th after round 26 has been: 2015-16 = 1pt 2016-17 = 2pts 2017-18 = 0pt GD, 8th place was also on the same points total 2018-19 = 1pt 2019-20 = 2pts Greece also adopted it this year and had a 2 point difference between 6th and 7th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I get why people like the split, I was against it, I'm less so now seeing as it seems to be OK, but the idea of a team in 7th getting more points than the one in 6th absolutely rustles my jimmies. Yes, I know why, still doesn't stop me grinding my teeth about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duh. What? I'm saying it's not fair because one team plays 40 games and one team plays 36. Every other divisional play off has teams playing the same amount of games before the Final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t get my head round any team with a play off chance voting to end the season early on current places. Was it desperation for the pay-out? Or desperation to be able to end player contracts? Or can we expect to see a show-case friendly in Boston? Just weird. Or maybe the many sides in that position appreciated the undeniable reality that there was no prospect of actually finishing the season, so accepting that they would never have a chance to participate in the playoffs decided to back what they thought was the fairest option between a proposal which left Hearts, Partick and Stranraer feeling hard done by and a proposal which would have left Dundee United, Raith and Cove feeling hard done by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making some arse of this. The 2 extra games for 3rd/4th I'd say, are a fair compromise and ireward for finishing 2nd in championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 11th in the Premiership and 2nd in the Championship both play 38 games before the Final. The final two games before the Final for the Premiership side are on the exact same dates as the Play Off Semi Final for the Championship side. It absolutely baffles me why people constantly claim that 2nd in the Championship somehow play more games in less time than their Premiership opponents.
