All games are "must win", but some games are more "must win" than others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes - must winif we want to win the league to must win if we want to be in the promotion playoffs to must win if we want to be in top half split all the way to must win if we want to stay in existence or vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yep. There needs to be a qualifying statement or it is meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still not sure if it will be 18 or 22 games. What happens if we start playing games after the split, but not every team completes 22 games,is it then ppg ? Every team needs to have completed 18 games by 23rd? April, for the split to go ahead. Not sure if it stops there on ppg or the teams still to play 18 complete them and then go to the playoff schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandyellowallover has his yellow card rescinded upon appeal - 12pm was originally correct as kick off time (otherwise known to the maxime plebis as 12 noon). 12am is midnight fearcher dear boy - 4 of the ferula for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Latin, the correct time would be meridies, but noon or midday is usual in English - both of which are, er, 0 hours from the middle of the day. As you've also contravened the Gaelic spelling rule, which, as any fule kno, is: leathan ri leathann is caol ri caol, leughar is sgrìobhar gach facal san t-saoghal, it's a double yellow card and early bath for you, I'm afraid. Fasces, surely? Better off without those: cards are more civilised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
