glensmad Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Group 4 is bubbling up nicely, with three teams still in contention at the moment. Vale look favourites as it stands with 2 wins from 2, and they would win the group if they were to beat Glencairn on Wednesday night. However, a Glencairn win would put them level at the top with Vale, with one game to play each. Blantyre Vics are still in the mix at the moment, but the last minute penalty they conceded to East Kilbride on Saturday measn that Vics will now have to wait and see wait and see what happens on Wednesday night and hope that Glencairn at least avoid defeat, before Vics visit The Glens on Saturday for the last games while Vale play East Kilbride.

glensmad Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here's an interesting scenario actually. Vale v Glencairn - a draw, taking Glens onto 4 points and Vale onto 7 points. Cambuslang v East Kilbride - away win, taking East Kilbride onto 4 points. Glencairn v Blantyre - Home win or away win, taking either Glens or Blantyre onto 7 points. East Kilbride v Vale - Home win, taking East Kilbride on 7 points. In this scenario, either Glencairn or Blantyre, plus Vale and East Kilbride all finish on 7 points. Is it the head-to-head, or is it goal difference which decides the group in that situation ? #toomuchtimeonmyhands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsPhil Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Is it the head-to-head, or is it goal difference which decides the group ? A quick check of the Archives section of the West website shows (for example) that in August 2013 Petershill and Bellshill finished level on points in their group; Bellshill won the head-to-head; yet it was Petershill who progressed. So it must be on g.d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it must be on g.d. Thanks, that's what I thought, which means Blantyre have a huge advantage were they to finish level on points thanks to their 8-1 drubbing of Cambuslang.

glensmad Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 What is certain, however, is that Cambuslang can't qualify from the section. I see Paul McColl is in the Rutherglen Reformer today claiming that it is still arithmetically possible for Cambuslang to finish top but that it would take a freak combination of results. Well, I'm sorry Paul, but there is no freak combination of results that would see Cambuslang finish top. With the fixtures that are remaining, at least one team in the group will get 7 points or more, and Cambuslang can only get to 6 points. All the other four teams can still qualify, however.

I'm sure Paul made that comment before your game on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
