what will happen?

[scottjungle]

If scores stay the same today and we draw 0-0 next week and boro win 2-0 we will have the same points, same goal difference and same goals scored. What happens then?

Sorry!

 

[Blade58]

One of those “you couldn’t write the fkin script”

Wilder does us on fkin GD

Please no

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Well we have the better goal difference in the two league games,so fuck Boro.

 

[sufcboy95]

We need to match or better Boros result next week. Its as simple as that.

 

[Yarrayering]

Thanx Stoke for all ur effort and hard work today....

Ideally, but I'm talking about a different scenario.

 

[Selly]

Its head to head record, which is, in this case, in our favour given we lost 2-0 up there, but won 4-1 at the Lane.

Of course they now only need to win 1-0 next week, given they are 3-0 up...

Could do with Fulham spanking Luton tomorrow. Gets their GD below ours, and is a potential saver for us last game.

I mean we could have avoided all this by actually putting some effort in ourselves against Stoke.

 

[Selly]

Or by being awarded the blatant penalty we should have had.

I'm more annoyed by the point we threw away against Reading.

 

[Eels]

I'd hate it if we went into it thinking a point might be enough - Wigan all over again. I think I'd rather Boro win 4-0 today so we know we have to go for it against Fulham.

Tbf I do get the would coulda shoulda arguments with referees decisions etc. but theres been more than enough times we’ve shot ourselves in the foot for it to really not be the reason we miss out…..if we do…but I think we might be alright. Even if we do need something against Fulham

Anyone know if Ched Evans out for season as I had a lovely thought he cud score against Boro nxt Satdy... A goal which puts us in playoffs!!... but no sign of him today at dingles..

 

[BigBed]

Must beat Fulham, theres nothing else to say.

 

[Blade56]

It will come down to last day of season

Blades vs Fulham
Preston vs Boro
Luton vs Reading

and we’ve got the harder finish.

 

[Greg.]

Need Fulham to smash Luton in celebratory style in their last home game - Mitrovic to make the golden boot record completely out of reach for the future etc.

The Wisdom of Wilder;-
" Until it is mathematically done, any team that has not got the job mathematically done will want to get it done."
Extract from the Star.! Yes didn't realise Chris was a philosopher.!
We need to muller Fulham and Wilder will have a face that looks like a Bulldog licking piss off a nettle.
Then he'll be done.

In the event the two teams finish with the same number of points, goal difference would decide who finishes higher. If that is also equal come the end of the campaign, English Football League rules state it will come down to goals scored.

In the unlikely scenario there is no separating the teams by that method either, the league record between them will come into effect. In order of precedence, that will take into account points gained, goal difference and goals scored.

The regulations go even further than that, though, just in case there is still nothing to choose between the sides. Number of wins, followed by goals scored in away games would then be used.

And if even that proves to be inconclusive, the EFL would tot up ‘penalty points’, with the club with the lowest total having the edge. Each cautionable or sending-off offence committed by players would rack up a certain number of points.

The number of penalty points incurred would be as follows: any cautionable offence - four penalty points; denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball - 10 penalty points; denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender’s goal by an offence punishable by a free-kick - 10 penalty points; serious foul play - 12 penalty points; spitting at an opponent or any other person - 12 penalty points; violent conduct - 12 penalty points; using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures - 12 penalty points; receiving a second caution in the same match - 10 penalty points.

Beyond that even, the club with the lowest number of sending-off offences would be awarded the higher ranking. And if that isn’t enough to separate them, “the clubs concerned shall play off a deciding league match or matches under arrangements determined by the League”.


In simple terms we need to play Hecky bomb ball as we did second half against QPR, bombing forward. Not the timid, languid triangles in the corner that are a feature of Wilder ball. The rules are clear goals scored will be a significant deciding factor. The team that plays on the front foot will qualify for the play offs.

No need for that Addison we win on head to head ! 3 points each we win on goals scored.

If anyone is interested I have worked out (hopefully) all of the permutations for Saturday on Twitter which you can see in this thread:

Unfortunately if Boro score more goals than us and we are level on points and goal difference then they go up before we get to the Head to Head, hence the emphasis on going for goals. EFL rules 9.1 and 9.2 refer.

Wilder and Hecky have a 'bum off'

Both have to see how many touchline lucozade bottles they can squeeze up the out end of their alimentary canal. Record in the past was a bum off between Sutton Utd manager Nigel Turgid and Haylesham boss Stuart Banjo-String in 1998 when both teams tied on points and goals at the end of the old Vauxhall Conference League Division Two playoffs. Turgid made a massive error of judgement in not going for decent turnout before the bum off and could only fit two bottles up his rectum. He also had failed to train for the event, and back then, the bottles were manufactured in Italy from hard thermoplastic. The second one had to be helped in with a kick from Sutton assistant manager Bobby Chipslice until it bottomed out on a kilo of compacted clay, sweetcorn and semi-digested biryani. Turgid's bullseye split twice and he was seen oozing blood afterwards when the bottles were removed by attaching them to a tow-hitch of a Jeep. Banjo-String had done this before three years previous and enlisted the help from online arse-perverts who enlisted him on a specialist course. He fitted three and a half bottles into his farter - a world record which still stands, the final one going in with a small jump-drop onto the stool. The assembled crowd chanted 'Eeeeasy! Eeeasy!' and it was.

Haylesham were promoted, but immediately relegated on appeal. Banjo-String resigned and now runs a clockmakers enterprise in Ireland. Turgid is U18 coach at Mansfield Town.
