If effect, USG have suffered a large points deduction this season. Not for FFP reasons or cheating, just for being too good. It’s really no surprise that they fail to respond positively to this sanction year after year after year.

Such a bizarre system seeing that USG were 19 (nineteen) points ahead of Brugge at the end of the conventional season. No wonder they struggle so much as their numerical advantage is slashed for TV money and end of season excitement. Great for clubs doing the chasing, but reminds me of teams...

The ability to mirror Albion play-off performance is quite astonishing. And very depressing. 😞

Just like watching Albion in the Championship play-offs. How many times will USG smash the league but miss out on the title in the play-offs. They are almost done this year.

USG only know one way to play in the playoffs. A similar style to ours! ☹️

The Belgian play-off system is designed for drama. USG’s 7 point lead is now burned off on the first day of the play-offs. And now…..

Only one team can surely catch Union now. But with their record, surely any cash has to go on Anderlecht to be the team to steal the title from Union this particular season? I’m sure Union have blown bigger leads in the play-offs?

They’ll need more than that seeing as their performance in play-offs is so similar to ours!

The Mac Allister Derby looks tasty. I’m team ‘Kevin’ and will watch it home alone.

It’s going to be Zeqiri isn’t it! 1:20

That would seem a perfectly logical assumption. However, they replaced €20m+ goal scoring sensation Boniface with Dennis Eckert Ayensa. A free 27 year old journeyman striker from Germany who hit double figures in the German 3rd tier a couple of times but has been shite for a year or two...

Apparently we can’t loan USG players this year as we are in the same competition. Annoying, but hopefully one of us will be in the Champions League next year.

I’ve been assuming it’s decided on goal difference which is very harsh indeed seeing as USG ‘technically’ have 0.5 more points (they were rounded down for the playoffs). I wonder if this is taken into consideration at the end of the playoff mini-league if both USG and Antwerp are tied on points...

Genk do indeed win. One round of games left. USG vs Brugge Genk vs Antwerp A USG win puts a lot of pressure on Antwerp to win away.

Indeed. Let’s hope Genk win this evening so they are left with a must win match against Antwerp.

Lynen sent off for a dangerous challenge. All to do for USG now. A draw would not be a disaster but it’s good bye to the Champions League automatic place if they lose.

USG are today’s starter! Kick off at 12:30. A win today against the Angstwerps and they only need a draw to confirm their Champions League place next week. However, if they lose, finishing top of the play-off table is pretty much gone as GD is against them. Good luck to Tony’s Belgium bit on...

Over to Alzate. Hopefully he can help Standard get a result.

Oh dear……. They seem to be about as good in playoffs as we are. 🙁 0-2 down already to Antwerps. Not good. 🙁

Time for him to make some headline!
