Oddly enough Ross County are the only Premiership team never to have played in Europe.

tarapoa Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Remember Willie Miller saying no way will Hearts finish above Aberdeen. Took nine seasons for it to happen, but right now I’m not certain there won’t be 9 others doing similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're due everyone away, except St Johnstone. In fact, assuming I've got things right, the bottom 6 is interesting in that it's only Dundee and St Johnstone that have an imbalance as it stands* - Dundee need 2 home games and only have 1, while St Johnstone also need 2 home games but have 3. My guess is they'll fix it using one of the teams that would be due to play Dundee at home and St Johnstone away - which is any of the other four except Livingston. For example, if they send Aberdeen to Dens for a third time and St Johnstone to Pittodrie for a third time, it balances things out, while keeping things "right" for the other half of the bottom 6. *Come to think of it, the way this whole system works suggests this is mirrored in the top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 So long as the sporting integrity of the title romp is protected over the genuinely competitive European battle. That's definitely the best way to prioritise any fixture discrepancies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured out the imbalance that needs fixed for the top 6I can see that Celtic, Motherwell and Ross County are due 3 home games but what would they need to change?I suspect the answer is that Hearts vs Ross County is going to be switched to DingwallBut I’m not certain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the answer is that Hearts vs Ross County is going to be switched to Dingwall But I’m not certain Actually Motherwell are due 2 home games but are scheduled to have 3. Same with hearts. Dundee United are due 3 home games but only have 1 scheduled. The rest are all fine (same games home and away scheduled and expected). So the simple Answer is that Motherwell and Hearts will both go to Tannadice for a 3rd time to reach that 19-19 home and away games. Here is a nice visual representation that I found on twitter. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips455 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Ii only took this off twitter and tried to fact check it so it could still be wrong. Also, I'm notbsure how the bottom 6 is impected but I woudl assume there will be 3 reams with 16-17 and 3 teams with 17-16 so there shouldn't be any issues in reaching the 19-19 for each side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Thinking back to the early part of the season where OF, Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs and Utd were all in the Top 6 and there were was a heavy "FINALLY! Things are back to *Normal*!" energy in the media. I wonder if the Top 6 has ever been made up of the ageing hacks ideal line-up?
