AcidBurn Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Anyone else hate goal difference lol. We did all the hard work away wins at Sevilla and valencia but 3 to last game of the season a home defeat against R.Sociedad they had 3 shots we had 12, Bojan went from a 25 goals a season man to a useless lump. Anyone else get really annoyed when they loss knowing that the title was in their grasp? I am not sure I can muster the energy to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid for the 4th season in a row.

AbsoluteGenius Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have lost titles on goal difference as well, but whilst being annoying, it has felt right. Also, are you sure you didn't lose it on head-to-head? In Spain goal difference is secondary to the head-to-head between the two joint clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 In Spain it's head to head record first, then goal difference. Hence Zaragoza being below Real Sociedad despite having a better goal difference. But I agree with you, it is frustrating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brod104 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 La Liga doesn't use goal diff after points - it depends on your head to head against Real Madrid before goal difference comes into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you hadn't mentioned goal difference I (wrongly) assumed you just didn't realise. :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMister Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think head-to-head is a much fairer seperator, rather than the countries that use goal difference first. Unfortunately for you Acid, after that it must be goal difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for you Acid, after that it must be goal difference I was just trying to think if there was anything else that could be used so I could win the league sadly it was never going to be mine.

AcidBurn Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 They did hammer you in terms of goal difference though They sure did I can never make a defensively solid tactic I love my attacking to much, I thought FM was supposed to be realistic but Madrid are good defenders lol. Games won? No. Goals scored? No, not that either. Ach well maybe next year. New league sorting rule - points, then teams that wear yellow jerseys I agree the yellow jersey rule should be in.

klose11 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Not quite as glamorous, but I just missed out on the Icelandic title due to GD. Leading by 7pts with 6 games to play, I ended up finishing 3rd! (FH 43pts +19, KR +17, Stjarnan +12). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
