Can anyone shed more light on this? I'm trying to think why it would be a thing when 4-3 is enough to determine the outcome of the match. @HibeeJibee?

The second team to take penalties score 3 of their first 4 penalties, making their penalty number 5 pointless. It's actually quite common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the point here is why would it go down as a 5-3 Hearts win when 4-3 was enough, and is what actually happened? I'm struggling to understand why the "official" score would assume Hearts scored their last penalty (which was never taken, and didn't need to be taken). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to understand why the "official" score would assume Hearts scored their last penalty (which was never taken, and didn't need to be taken). And was probably due to be taken by Liam Boyce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Every time Ewan Murray is on Football Weekly as their Scottish football correspondent (absolute lol) he repeatedly gets fairly basic factual things wrong and shows that he isn't very clued up at all. The most recent one i can think of is him being on to discuss the ticket situation after our game against Rangers and showing that he really didn't have any understanding of it. He also referred to the league as 'the SPL' the other day which is absolute bare minimum stuff from someone meant to be an authority on the subject. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win a shootout by whatever the score is when it finishes. EDIT: Wonder if he confused a practice - no longer observed and perhaps related to computer systems - of showing (say) a 2-2 draw settled on penalties as having finished "3-2".

The issue therefore wasn't necessarily the renaming of the leagues (save for the SPL, which did need to have a different name) but the shite, lazy names they decided upon. Worse is that they are nonsensical. In England the EPL is still distinct from the EFL, so it make some sense in what their leagues are called (the top EFL league being the Championship for example, but since the top four leagues up here are all under the same organisation (SPFL), the names don't make sense and just are just, as stated, lazy, shite and nonsensical. Premiership and Leagues 1-3 would have been fine for up here. Edited February 15, 2022 by DA Baracus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The copying English branding wasn't just an SPFL things. The west region juniors in it's last couple of seasons used the Premiership, Championship et al branding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Scotland was first to use the Premier term in 1975, but it is tainted by association with The Barclays these days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as a decent chunk of those in Scotland. Think Accenture might now have competition for the worlds worst ever rebranding excercise. Each time someone gets it wrong the brand gets a bit weaker. The Championship, League One, League Two is definitely a bit cringeworthy but it's in place now so no need to tinker further with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they shouldn't, as the SPL no longer exists as an organisation. Those top lazy/stupid to get a simple name right shouldn't be pandered to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
