Got to feel for Solihull, has any other team lost penalty shoot outs in finals on successive weekends?Originally Posted by bluesp

What I didn't get was that even when Molenbeek were drawing, the live table still showed Kortrijk in second place in the relegation group. Both on 31 points but Kortrijk's goal difference was worse and their head to head was worse too so I was a bit baffled. Maybe if the points are level then it goes back to how the original league finished? Kortrijk finished above Molenbeek there.
I try and make out I understand the Belgian play-offs on here so people think I'm gifted but it's way too esoteric for me to be honest.

Was that on Livescore? I've noticed they're sometimes poor at updating their allegedly live tables.
I was going on this.

Everything was updated, including goal difference, but Kortrijk were second in the table even when Molenbeek were drawing. Maybe their system wasn't advanced enough to cope with the Belgian play-offs, that would make sense.
No one's advanced enough to cope with the Belgian play-offs 😁
Davies surely has to be in with a shout of the Wales squad next month?
Kortrijk face Lommel, owned by Man City's owners and managed by Steve Bould, in their 2 leg playoff.

I meant to mention at the time that Lommel knocked out Joel Bagan's Zulte Waregem on their way to this stage.
Joel came on as a sub in both legs so he hadn't been completely frozen out but it was a disappointing second half of the season for him. He's still got two years left on his contract here, if we don't sign another left back then I guess a good pre-season could see him challenging Collins in that position. Depends how Bulut, or whoever, plans to use Tsunoda (if fit) or O'Dowda (ditto). With three good youngsters coming through in Giles, Beecher and Thomas it may be a case of now or never for him here.
Hard to see him forcing his way back into the first team squad having not been starting games over there, but you could have said that about Tanner after his disastrous loan to York.
Yes, a good pre-season could be a game changer for him too. This is his second 3-year contract here but he's only played eight minutes in the league for us the past two seasons. Hopefully he'll benefit from his experiences in Belgium and come back better for it, we'll see.
Another 90 minutes for Eli King tonight as Ross County missed the chance to secure safety in the Scottish Prem by conceding a late equaliser to St Johnstone. It comes down to the last game on Sunday now, Ross County will be safe if St Johnstone don't win at Motherwell but will drop into a relegation play-off if some other stuff happens. I've got enough to do trying to keep up with the Belgian play-offs for now.
There's no better way of putting this, shit is going down next Sunday lunchtime. Ross County dropped into the relegation play-off position in Scotland today after a 2-2 draw with Aberdeen coupled with St Johnstone's 2-1 win at Motherwell meant Ross finished 11th and now play Raith Rovers over two legs to try and hold on to their Premiership place. 90 minutes for Eli King today.
As mentioned already on here, Kortrijk won the first leg of their relegation play-off 1-0 at Lommel today. Isaak Davies was taken off near the end but hopefully that was part of some bus-parking exercise rather than being injury related.
Both play-offs will finish up next Sunday with the home legs for Ross and Kortrijk. Kieron Evans finished his loan spell at Gateshead with a cup final win at Wembley, hopefully it will be a celebratory end to these two loan spells too.
