When teams are on the same number of points the positions will now be decided on head to head results including away goal rule. This isn't correct is it but it does seem to be a fairly common misconception. Head to head is ony taken into consideration in the event of teams being on the same amount of points, with the same goal difference and exactly the same goals for & against. This is incredibly unlikely to happen anyway and has never actually happened but in the event that it did a play-off would previously have been used to decide who finished higher. Now it would be head to head scores and if they are still unable to be split a play-off would happen Edited July 18, 2019 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee will be able to tell from the passage of play as to whether a player has deliberately kicked a ball at them. I know they're not always up to scratch, but they're not complete morons. Debatable, have you seen Keith Stroud or James Linington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
