Superior Acuña Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Don't really give a shit about rugby, but just saw Newcastle Falcons won the championship, winning 21 and losing 1, finishing on 98 points, 24 ahead of second place. But promotion is based on a play-off! They lost their second game of the season today, in the semi-final first leg, to 4th placed Leeds who had 31 fewer points! What a load of bollicks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/may/20/premier-league-review-innovations-future Premier League play-offs There is an obvious antidote to anti-climaxes, as followers of the Championship, League One and League Two know full well. And why should the lower leagues have better endings than the top flight? Introducing play-offs for the last Champions League spot and the last relegation spot would guarantee extra excitement and mean more teams would have something tasty to play for towards the conclusion of the regular season.

NG32 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The only way I would have play offs in the prem, is maybe making the last champions league place up for grabs from the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this happening at some point. Too much money to be made. You might want to limit it to four teams though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 How would a CL place play off work if we have a case like last year where Chelsea took it in anyway by winning the CL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 the only play off, save for one off occasions when teams finish dead level, should be between the third bottom team and the third top team from the division below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 We'd never be able to cope with extra playoff games if we made them. Imagine those two games a week again like this season! Doesn't bare thinking about!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosenrot Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I personally think the 4th Champions League place should go to the FA Cup winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think there should only be 1 Champions League place for each country. Agreed, but whilst the system is in place, I think the last place should go to the FA Cup to give the competition some more importance, and gives it more authority as a 'champions' league.

madras Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 why not have a play off system where each team involved plays each other home and away, points could be awarded for winning games, and less points for drawing them, nothing for a defeat. the team with the most points is deemed the winner of these play offs. if teams have the same points, goal difference could be used to seperate them.
