dave.j Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 keith jackson @tedermeatballs 5h5 hours ago Why am i being bombarded by Celtic fans this morning about police raiding Sports Direct? Absolutely incredible MinceCFC @CelticMindedcom @AitkensDrum @tedermeatballs The real reason is because of the SMSM's sycophancy towards Rangers cheating. We don't trust the media Did he clear up why he used the dramatic term "raided" whilst other news reported the police "visited" Mike Ashley's property? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 SFA Benny. A league campaign in the Championship comprises of each club playing all the other clubs four times during a season with two home and away fixtures amounting to all clubs having played a grand total of 36 games each and the winner gets promoted as of by right. The play off's come after the league campaign is finished and becomes a totally different competition all together and is in a knock out format such as cup competitions are. The play off's are not part of any league campaign because it does not affect the clubs placing in the Championship division at all which a league campaign match fixture would. The league is the SPFL which is spilt into 4 divisions. The league campaign does not end until promotion and relegation issues between the divisions in the league are settled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The league is the SPFL which is spilt into 4 divisions. The league campaign does not end until promotion and relegation issues between the divisions in the league are settled. Meh, I beg to differ Stoney. In the SPFL handbook it states that after the league campaign has finished those clubs in finishing in 2nd, 3rd & 4th shall enter into a play off competition for the right to to play the PREMIERSHIP club that finished in 11th position in the Premiership for a possible promotion place in the Premiership. Two different leagues are involved here in a knock out format that isn't a league fixture at all, almost like a cup competition except there is no cup to win for the winner. This is what the SPFL call a season, when all fixtures have been completed including leagues fixtures, play off's & cup finals. The league season ended when all clubs completed their mandatory 36 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrah Swango Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Now this I would love to hear. Go on, Mr QC.

Simply do your damnedest to express a smiley-free opinion. It is a tricky one I agree. IMO the league doesn't finish until promotion and relegation issues are finalised. But the rules do state that after the league campaign has finished. The clubs will enter into a playoff. So I probably would agree with the football league Chiefs in theory. But they are also a shower of shites so I definitely agree with clubs trying to get one over to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one league with 4 divisions clear from the name Scottish Professional league not leagues but league. Singular. You may have had a point before 2 different leagues became one ie the SPL SFL merger. You will notice too that the playoffs to get from non league to the SPFL are not mentioned on the SPFL website due to them being a separate competition . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer club played 32 league games and can't play any more league games to affect the overall position, points or standing in the league any more. This is now a knock out competition for a possible promotion. Now your turn Kinkunty, do describe how a knock out fixture can be a league fixture if the knock out fixtures do not affect the league in any way, shape or form after the mandatory league fixtures have been fulfilled ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Sick of this stupid debate. How can any club sell an ST in the summer to cover a playoff you may or may not be in? Don't be so fucking stupid. If FFC said our ST for 2015/16 was to cover 21 home games and not 18, their would be anarchy. It would be much the same at any club. Get over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the playoff fixtures do not affect the league placings. Everyone finished 1,2,3,4... and that is done. The playoff fixtures are all between league clubs, all of the one league body, so they are most certainly SPFL league fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you fully that the play off's are part of the SPFL competitions. But I believe that the league campaign itself consists of 36 fixtures and then the league has finished but there are still SPFL & SFA competitions to play out to end the season. A league game when played will affect the clubs points tally, possible position in the league, goals for and against etc etc etc, none of the play off fixtures will affect the league table in any form and really can't be deemed a league fixture any more can it ? The clubs have now entered into a new competition will is still part of the season but the league has finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the clubs involved need to remove sleeve patches on shirts? Under which footballing body are these matches being played? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't a Championship league fixture is it ?, playing the 11th placed Premiership club is not a Championship league fixture at all. It's a winner take all knock out tie to either stay up in the Premiership or get promoted up by virtue of a knock out competition that involves a Premiership club. But you are correct it is an SPFL league fixture for promotion or relegation that involves two different divisions come the last tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
