It's simple... We're not taking the points of our relegation rivals.....
If we consider the bottom six, and the points they've won of each other and consider the points differance between those and Longford, during the campaign.
UCD have taken six of Longford and Monaghan and Five of Dundalk.
Bray have taken six points of Dundalk and Galway and four each of UCD and Monaghan.
Longford have fluffed all round them and four points against Monaghan represents their greatest conquest.
Dundalk are worse than Longford but only fractionally. the four they earned of Galway being the easiest of their pickings.
The total amonut of points gained at the expense of the bottom six teams stands at....
UCD 18
Bray 17
Longford 13
Dundalk 11
The ratio of points earned using the above criteria against total points stands at:
UCD 56%
Bray 54%
Longford 45%
Dundalk 43%
This includes games played last weekend.
The points difference (From an LTFC point of view) stands at:
UCD +2
Bray +1 (CCFC game in hand)
and Dundalk -6
Games remaining between bottom six sides.....
