jaggy Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I might be wrong, but I think there’s a scenario where all teams have 6 points. DU could win on goal difference. Du & Peterhead win tonight, Spartans beat us and Peterhead draw with Falkirk & win on pens. Unlikely but not impossible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 9 hours ago, Ancipital said: Goal difference is the first tiebreaker if it comes to that , full list below If clubs are level on points at the end of the group stage, the criteria for separating them is 1) goal difference, 2) goals scored, 3) away goals scored, 4) matches won, 5) away matches won, 6) head-to-head record, 7) drawing of lots. If we draw against Spartans and win the penalty shoot out, while Falkirk beat Peterhead by a single goal, it may become rather complicated, depending on the number of goals scored in each game. So if we are going to draw we would be better to do so 5-5 rather than 0-0. Indeed, if in the meantime Spartans beat Peterhead by a single goal, I think that they will be in the same position as us. So we should agree to exchange 10 goals equally at the beginning of our game and then start really playing at 5-5. Ma heid's buzzled!

Dick Dastardly Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 A win on Saturday and we top the group. If we can’t beat The Spartans at home then we don’t deserve to progress 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Beat The Spartans at Firhill and win the group is a scenario we would have all accepted. But then we are Partick Thistle after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Who wants life to be simple? If you choose to follow Thistle, you sign up to a life of non-simplicity. There is an alternative scenario. Peterhead beat the Spartans. Peterhead draw with Falkirk and win the penalty shoot out. We draw with Spartans. We can happily relax and lose the penalty shoot out. Final table Thistle 7 Dundee Utd 6 Falkirk 6 Peterhead 6 Spartans 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotterJag Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Get through this and things could go our way. Looks like most of the teams from the North East are going out. St Johnstone, Dundee United, Inverness and Dundee look out already, with Raith looking like they could also struggle to progress. I wonder who we'll get of Ross County or Aberdeen should we win on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Getting ahead of myself I know, but I'm sure 9 points would mean we go into next round unseeded. So chances are we'll draw one of the five top rated clubs (the ones in Europe). On a likely outcome basis it looks to me the easiest tie we could get would be Airdrie. Others on here will be much better re permutations. What I do know is a win* on Saturday will see us into the next round. That round takes place 10 days or so before the transfer window closes. So the draw for Round 2 could have much significance. *like DD says if we can't win at home against Spartans we don't deserve to go thru.
