New rule to settle ties in PL

[jdrobbo]

A new rule for something that will happen once every twenty or thirty years? Fair enough.

Nice to know they’ve got the finger on the pulse of the important stuff

Are they not just coming into line with other leagues in Europe?

Yeah, just like two ties in one game of cricket.

“Sod it, just give to whoever score most boundaries. It’ll never happen anyway.”

[jdrobbo]

That was a ridiculous rule. They should’ve just had another super over

[Hibsclaret]

It’s weird because I thought it was only the Spanish league that had head to head last season. I’m fairly sure all other main leagues were the same as the prem. Perhaps we are all now following the Spanish.

Only know that because of some end of season accumulators across the European leagues that were impacted by Valencia finishing top 4.

As far as I know, it's only ever happened once that two teams finished level on points, goals for, and goals against; they didn't have a play-off as it was for 14th place in the third division. Or thereabouts.

Actually, now I think this is different because the Spanish league use head to head (when teams finish on level points) before goal difference. That was where they are very different to everyone else in Europe.
