By the way. Drive-in-viewing for Sunday 1st June was sold out in an hour. 2.000 cars.
The club is trying to create space for an additionally 1.000 cars.

 

[Dynamite]

Not Sunday - but Monday.
Sorry my mistake. This Corona thing is getting to me…..

That's handy, I'm off next week.

Off to Denmark then. Don't forget to factor in a 2 week quarantine each end.

 

[Denway]

They won't let you in yet!! Danish nationals only allowed for a while, then they relented and also allowed those married to Danish people entry. Officialdom there is tough!
Wife went back last week - took 2 days with a flight to Amsterdam, and then to Billund the next day. I'm due back soon, but she's sorting out the overgrown garden; normally my job!
Announcement expected today on opening the border further; they're under pressure from the EU, as loads of Germans have Summerhouses booked. Seems like a voluntary quarantine there.
You'll be able to get your haircut though....if required!

Worth 14 days quarantine alone that!

0-1 nearly HT

HT 0-1. Watchable but a distinct lack of quality from the home side in and around the box.
FCM centre back looks strong.

 

[badgerbee]

Lasse Vibe now on............still 0-1

 

[ladbroke]

Not to be....

0-1 FT
Vibe hits the post on 90+4.........no footage of the fans watching from their cars........

Think they've won the league in any case. Only one more match for them and 12 points clear.

There was during the first half.

Not according to the BBC:

"[FCM] remain 12 points clear at the top of the league, with one game to play before the championship round.

Here, the top six clubs split from the rest, carrying their points forward for a 10-game mini-league to decide the division's eventual winner."

I knew there would be some bizarre, convoluted mechanism to determine who wins. Not sure what's wrong with looking at the table after everyone's played each other twice!

 

[gbems92]

Imagine being 12 points clear and still not being crowned champions. Bizarre

Much like they would do in a normal Scottish Premier season.

There is some on the BBC website. Can't post a link, sorry.

I assume that they reckon 13 home league games isn't enough to sustain full-time professional clubs.

And they can't expand the league by, say, another half dozen teams since Denmark may not have the strength in depth to keep it competitive after you get past the top 14 teams?

Thought we might have got a passing mention in the commentary, unless I missed it.

You can't have been concentrating that well. There were plenty of cutaways to the car park.

By we I meant BFC.

Would you be similarly disappointed if FCM didn't get a mention every time we played? I think not...

True, but they've normally got a script they read from bringing up the same information that we've heard before.

It was me who said I hadn't seen any footage of the car park....
I was WFH yesterday, so was only dipping in and out of coverage.....

It's crap. Win the league and you should be the champions.

Agreed.

No argument here

 

[badgerbee]

I agree.....
But you could extend it to the Play-Offs too, I guess.....Finish 3rd, and you should go up..........

 

[Billy Hunt]

Nah.
Play-offs are a good idea but not for those finishing top. They've proved they're the best. They're the champions.

Something has to happen in that game.

I heard some rugger chap pointing out the other day that the average pro rugby match of 80 minutes duration now takes 105 minutes to complete. Yet the ball is actually only in play for 35 minutes.

(Sorry, way off topic I know.)

Some of that is due to the fact that when 80 mins is up you keep playing until the ball leaves the field of play plus the clock stops for injuries etc

Didn't W£bb say something like the play offs mean you play forty six qualifying games to get into a knockout competition

 

[Billy Hunt]

He was right. If you're not good enough to finish in the top 2, finishing 3rd to 6th means you qualify for a 4-team knockout competition. :shrug:

No need to mention the 1994/5 season

Isn't this the FC Midtjylland thread?

 

[PhilE]

I quite like the Danish set-up. Until a couple of years ago everyone played each other 3 times so it was unequal in terms of each opponent at home and away. The revised setup means you play all teams home / away and then the top teams play each other again twice while retaining all the points won during the season. So it is far from being a knockout competition.
