Post Split

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Am I correct in thinking we SHOULD be due 3 home games?

[Tord31]

We WILL get three games at home

We WILL go to Parkhead

We WILL have Hearts at Pittodrie

 

 

after that anything is up for grabs

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I knew I could rely on you

[Tord31]

Can see Dundee coming to us three times as it reverses a previous Error

[Geoff_Tipps]

Celtic will be away and 2nd game after the split.

[Tord31]

why 30th/31st ?

[Tord31]

I think Celtic are also due 3 at home and there is the small possibility of a very contentious switching of the final Celtic Hearts match to Parkhead. Hopefully not though as that would be a pile of shite

[Geoff_Tipps]

Because I have wedding that weekend and it would just be fucking typical.

[Tord31]

Would be a hassle for me too - I'd prefer the Sunday game 1 or 3

[Bamber]

5 possible dates

 

Fixture round 34 - April 23
Fixture round 35 - April 30
Fixture round 36 - May 7
Fixture round 37 - May 11
Fixture round 38 - May 14/15

 

Doubt it will be the last match or the first match

 

 

Fixture round 34 - April 23
Fixture round 35 - April 30
Fixture round 36 - May 7
Fixture round 37 - May 11
Fixture round 38 - May 14/15

 

Don't see it being the mid week fixture

 

Fixture round 34 - April 23
Fixture round 35 - April 30
Fixture round 36 - May 7
Fixture round 37 - May 11
Fixture round 38 - May 14/15

 

Weekend of April 30th sees Rangers last game and Man U Leicester on the Sunday and Swansea Liverpool on Saturday Lunch time so I doubt they will want another big game

 

May 7th weekend has Man City Arsenal at 4pm on Sunday and Tottenham sunderland at 1.30 can see us going up against that game

 

So my bet is Sunday 8th May with a12:30 Kick off

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see us play Hearts on the midweek or last Sunday with Celtic having the reverse

[Tord31]

the laugh of it is they'll not even have started thinking

[manboobs109]

the laugh of it is they'll not even have started thinking

Ken. Bamber has probably put more thought into it than the spfl.

[Bamber]

the laugh of it is they'll not even have started thinking

 

 

The SPFL wont have to - Sky and BT will tell them what the fixtures will be

[dave_min]

I think Celtic are also due 3 at home and there is the small possibility of a very contentious switching of the final Celtic Hearts match to Parkhead. Hopefully not though as that would be a pile of shite

 

Hearts being in the Top 6 puts everything off.

 

They could end up having to go to Parkhead and our game at Tynecastle.

 

Down with this sort of thing.

[fine-n-dandy]

We WILL get three games at home

We WILL go to Parkhead

We WILL have Hearts at Pittodrie

 

 

after that anything is up for grabs

Not so sure on that one at all

 

I think Celtic are also due 3 at home and there is the small possibility of a very contentious switching of the final Celtic Hearts match to Parkhead. Hopefully not though as that would be a pile of shite

Not a chance that will happen. That would be far too much even for the SPFL

[cruzcampo3]

One thing I am sure on, there won't be a 3pm Saturday kick off for us during the spilt

[Dynamo]

What's the crack with people thinking we might have to play away to Hearts post split? Conspiracy theorists or based on they will be due like 4 away games based on what they've played already?

 

Better be at Pittodrie.

 

 

It should be...

 

Celtic away

Dundee away

St Johnstone home

Motherwell home

Hearts home.

 

In any order.

 

If Partick make top 6 we'll be due them at home so one of our home games will be shifted....

[Dave Bus]

We are due 3 home games, Celtic are due 2 home games, but anything could happen

[tup]

Lets hope we get Celtic at home again.

 

This split is shit for fans who live long distance, canna make any travel plans until the last minute.

[Mr John]

The split is shit, end of.

[dave_min]

What's the crack with people thinking we might have to play away to Hearts post split? Conspiracy theorists or based on they will be due like 4 away games based on what they've played already?

'cause the fixtures are organised on the understanding that the Top 6 will be the same as the previous season.

 

Hearts weren't top 6 last year.

 

I've never figured out if it was just a bullshit excuse from the SPL to cover incompetence.

[Bamber]

Its still a bit of a mess as in theory down to ICT could make top 6

if Dundee lose against Hamilton Partick and Ross County Draw and Caley beat hearts and Dundee United they will be top 6 on GD

Table below shows the remaining fixtures based on the table as is ,

 

Table didn't work!!!! But Aberdeen Hearts and Celtic are each a home game light on 19Homes and 19 Aways, Motherwell are 1 H game extra and St Johnstone are 2 Home games heavy on a 19H19A with 4 Home games by a 2 H 2 A method



St Johnstone is the one that is really out of kilter, they have 4 Homes left based on a 2 Homes 2 Aways fixture list but that would have given them 22 Home games this season and 16 Aways

Motherwell are the other team that will be off centre with 20 Homes and 18 Aways

Aberdeen Celtic and Hearts will all be 1 game light and need an extra Home game

Hearts are the only team due to play Well away as it stands so Hearts will play well at home for the third time

St J where due to play us and celtic at home and they should be reversed

So Modified looks like this

Table didn't work But

 

Aberdeen Celtic and Dundee Away rest at Home

Celtic Hearts and Dundee Away Rest at Home

Hearts Celtic and Well at Home rest away

 

Means actually quite a fair split, we and celtic will play St Johnstone and Dundee away and Well at home

 

its so much easier with the table!

[fine-n-dandy]

We are due 3 home games, Celtic are due 2 home games, but anything could happen

How so?

 

Come the split both us & Celtic will have played 16 home & 17 away.

 

Only "potential" top six teams with those figures the other way around are County, St's & Motherwell.

[Bamber]

As the league stands:

 

Celtic Due 3 Homes

Aberdeen Due 3 Homes

Hearts Due 3 Homes

Dundee Due 3 Homes

St Johnstone Due 2 Homes

Motherwell Due 2 Homes

 

But based on who they have played so far to make it a 2H 2 A split

 

Celtic Due 2 Homes

Aberdeen Due 2 Homes

Hearts due 2 Homes

St Johnstone Due FOUR homes

Motherwell Due 3 home ties

Dundee due 2 home ties

 

Suggest that St J and motherwell will need to "swap" home ties with us Celtic or Hearts

 

we and celtic are already "due" a home tie against Motherwell hearts are due an away - so that suggest Hearts will Play Motherwell at home

 

That means we will play St Johnstone at home as will celtic (for a 3rd time)

 

Dundee at the moment will end up with a 18 H 20 A split

[Tord31]

The rules do actually state the minimum number of changes should be made to provide 19/19 so presuming your workings are correct that looks good.

 

Revisit on Saturday evening

[stirlingsheep]

I'd like St. Johnstone on the last day if it was going to the wire. They owe us for basically not turning up last year and letting them sneak in to Europe.

[Bamber]

If I had to make another prediction it would be we would have an AWAY game as the last game of the season - reason being the will want to avoid us being miles from Where celtic are playing in case it goes to the last game of the season. (so helicopter sunday for want of a better word)

 

If we are away that's either Dundee or Celtic -it wont be celtic for the last game of the season - so that means Dundee. Celtic I still reckon will be the weekend of the 7/8th so it will either be St Johnstone or Motherwell at home for the first game post split

[Bamber]

Based on 16:55 09/04/16

 

We are OK and due homes against Hearts Motherwell and Ross County

 

Both ST J and Ross county are due one too many Home games, Both Celtic and Hearts are "due" a home game, Hearts are all ready due a Home game vs Ross County so looks like it will be Celtic vs Ross County and Hearts vs St Johnstone

 

Motherwell are due two homes already

 

SO Homes games are

 

Aberdeen - Hearts, Ross County and Motherwell

Celtic - Ross County, Aberdeen and Motherwell

Hearts - Celtic, Ross County and St Johnstone

St Johnstone - Aberdeen and Celtic

Motherwell - Hearts and St Johnstone

Ross County - St Johnstone and Motherwell

 

I suppose 1 question in the bottom 6 is Will Dundee ensure Dundee united are demoted?

[Tord31]

where are the fixtures then?

[Bamber]

Fairly typical of the SPFL under Donkeycasters leadership that the customers are being left hanging to make decisions - every f&&ker is too concerned about the SFA competition to worry about the SPFL one

 

it took me about 10 mins to figure out the Home teams for the top 6 - its close on 48 HOURS since the top six was confirmed

 

I have no problem at all with the split but the administration of it is rubbish

 

Even working out the Weekends isn't that hard - probably 5 keys games

 

Dundee United vs Kilmarnock

Dundee vs Dundee united

Celtic vs Aberdeen

Aberdeen vs Hearts

Hearts vs Celtic

 

1 a weekend and fill in the rest from there
