Can anyone tell me how does the scottish league works?

I take it is How does the SPL work that you want to know, as the Scottish league consists of three leagues of 10 playing each other 4 times, making a total of 36 games in a season.\n\nSo the following is what i can understand how the SPL works\n\nDuring the first phase of the season all clubs play each other three times for a total of 33 games, meaning they will have played 16 matches at home and 17 away or vice versa. \nThe split then kicks in and clubs have another five matches against opponents in their half of the table for a total of 38 games over the campaign.\n\nWhen was the current system introduced? \nThis is the sixth season involving a top and bottom six split in the Bank of Scotland Premierleague. The split was first introduced in season 2000/01 when the league was increased from 10 to 12 clubs.\n\nWhy have the split at all? \nThe primary reason is to increase competition within the league and reduce the number of meaningless mid-table clashes. This season has been a good case in point, with Aberdeen, Motherwell and Inverness Caley Thistle all in contention for a place in the top half with one game to go.\n\nHope this helps, i come from Scotland tho i support a team outside of the SPL i cant understand why the split is really needed.

From UEFA's Official Statement:\n\n#4.05. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:\n\na) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question\nb) superior goal difference obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question\nc) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question\nd) superior goal difference from all group matches played\ne) higher number of goals scored\nf) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons.\n\n\nCeltic currently is above ManUtd in 1st place because of (c) above; meaning, they scored more goals away from home (at Old Trafford)  compared to Man Utd (Utd failed to score away from hom at Celtic)\n\nAnd Yes, Celtic has qualified already, as there is no way they can be in third place , due to the facts already given above.\n\nHope it help in anyway..

As a Rangers supporter, I think the best club in Scotland right now (and you did say best club, not best team) is Gretna FC. They are on the up and up... and UP... on the field, are the first side ever from the third tier to reach the Cup Final, look right now as though they will be playing in Europe next season. And their community work and so on appear to be absolutely second to none.

listen ill explain\n\n\nIn every group of four each team plays everyone else in their group. (for example: A vs. B and C vs. D) then when those matches are done A vs. C and B vs. D then the last matches of the "group stages" A vs. D and B vs. C---- Now a win is 3 points a tie or draw is 1 point and a loss is 0 points. The top 2 teams in each group proceed to the next round of 16 while the rest are out of the competition

It would just go on the same, the Welsh and Irish leagues manage ok. People would just go to their local team.\nScottish football might actually get a boost!

You get into a league(public is a random league, and private is one with an i.d# and password.)Then with a minimum of 4 teams, you can get a "live draft"(one where everyone shows up and chhoses their players on-line)or a automated draft.(each team pre ranks players and the computer determines the teams.)Then, you can trade players, claim them off the free agency and waivers, and then comes playoffs. The commish for private leagues chooses the playoff format. For public leagues, playoff format and point distributation is default. Whoever wins the playoffs wins the league! Have fun next year with FF!

I saw a site which claims to have information on this - particularly live televised sporting events.\n\nIts at http://www.freepremiershipfootball.tk\n\nI am about to try it out as it seems like a good deal.

Read all about it.  \n\nOften there are bets, like each owner gives an amount of money at the beginning of the season and the winner gets it all or split up between top places.  You can also bet on highest stats per week.  Like if the stat for the week is TD's, you can win an amount if a player on your team has the most.  But there are also several "free" leagues as well.

I found this...\n\nRankings in each group shall be determined as follows:\n(a) Greater number of points in group\n(b) Goal differential in group\n(c) Goals scored in group\n\nIn case of a tie:\n(d) Head-to-head\n(e) Head-to-head goal differential\n(f) Goals scored head-to-head\n(g) Drawn lots\n\nThe top two teams advance to the Round of 16.\n\n\nIt doesnt make much sense to me but i hope it does to you :)

In the big "Leagues" ten ends are played and aggregate score is accumulated. Each end the four members of each team throws two rocks each alternately and the team which has the most stones closest to the button or centre of the house ( which is the circles at the other end of the sheet)\nscores a point for each rock until there is an opposing teams rock.\nThe opposing teams stone/rock which is the nearest they could get doesn't count but it cancels out any of the scoring teams that may be in the house. \nIt may sound complicated but it easy when you get out there and play, you learn the rules by the time you've played your first game.

Hearts of Midlothian, no doubt about it. They finished 2nd in Scottish Premier League last year, ahead of Glasgow Rangers. Now that they have been bought by a Lithuanian they really may be challengers for the title in one or two years.

They did not win the league.  Lost on goal difference, but they qualified for Europe next season.  Not bad for a team that were heading for oblivion 2 years ago - Proud\n\nThey are losing their manager to my team as from tonight - Gutted.\n\nHope they get the Shelbourne manager next.\n\nHis new team Dunfermline Athletic won 2-1 yesterday.
