jagerbob Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Can someone explain to me how, as reported in a few places, that a point for derby tonight would see us go top of the league? A draw wouldnt give us the best goal difference, and unless its 3-3, we wouldnt even be top of the goals scored charts. So how is league position decided when teams are on the same points?

Ghost of Clough Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It's still goal difference, goals scored then results between teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Joint-top can be the only explanation, but even this is wrong. You can't be joint anything in terms of league standings as that's why GD and head-to-head results exist to prevent such a thing. Drives me mad when people say 'we're joint-top' or 'we're joint 6th'. No we're not, we are where we are in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It goes points, goal difference, goals scored, goals conceded - then if ALL those are the same, I think its head-to-head record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If goal difference and goals scored are the same then so are goals conceded, just saying :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks everyone for the breakdown. radio derby this morning, but also the football leagues preview article for the fixtures this weekend mention we 'could' go top with a point. I guess a point would see us go 2nd, and be automatic promotion places. I'l;l take that... also we are gonna win anyway, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 all irrelevant - we will be two points clear...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 We could go top this weekend with a draw, providing the other teams on the same points lose heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull are playing Boro, so rules this possible theory out. Whoever reported it were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Clearly you all missed the rule change in the summer - 6.9 iv. In the event of clubs being tied on points, the league position shall be decided by adding together the number of opposition managers/head coaches sacked in the immediate three days following a fixture.
