About: 1976–77 Football League

An Entity of Type: sports season, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1976–77 season was the 78th completed season of The Football League. As of this season, goal difference (GD in league tables) was used to separate the clubs finishing level on points. The earlier system, used from the season 1894–95 until the 1975–76 had been the so-called goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same positive goal difference, this earlier system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. Now the system would favour the teams that had scored more goals, and it was hoped that more goals would be seen as a result of this new system.

  • The 1976–77 season was the 78th completed season of The Football League. As of this season, goal difference (GD in league tables) was used to separate the clubs finishing level on points. The earlier system, used from the season 1894–95 until the 1975–76 had been the so-called goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same positive goal difference, this earlier system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. Now the system would favour the teams that had scored more goals, and it was hoped that more goals would be seen as a result of this new system. The season was also the first in which the referee used the yellow card and the red card to signal penalties, with the yellow to caution the offending player, and the red to show spectators and viewers that the player had been ejected from the game. Writing in The Observer, sportswriter Bob Houston noted that the season opener was "the day the Football League went Continental, arming its referees with those coloured cards we've all learned to watch for in European and World Cup matches." On 2 October 1976, Dave Wagstaffe of Blackburn Rovers became the first player in Football League history to be shown the red card when he was sent off in a 1-0 win over Orient in a Division 2 match.

  • Футбольная лига в сезоне 1976/77 — 79-й сезон Футбольной лиги Англии, составлявшей на тот момент четыре высших дивизиона в системе футбольных лиг Англии. Чемпионом Англии по итогам сезона в десятый раз в своей истории стал «Ливерпуль». Второй дивизион выиграл «Вулверхэмптон Уондерерс». Третий дивизион выиграл «Мансфилд Таун», Четвёртый дивизион — «Кембридж Юнайтед». Начиная с этого сезона в Футбольной лиге Англии при распределении мест в случае равенства очков начала использоваться система разницы забитых и пропущенных мячей (англ. goal difference, GD). Ранее (с 1894 по 1976 год) в случае равенства очков места распределялись системой соотношения забитых и пропущенных мячей (англ. goal average или англ. goal ratio). По сути это означало, что вместо деления забитых и пропущенных командой мячей стало использоваться вычитание. Целью внедрения системы с определением разницы мячей было увеличение количества забитых мячей и повышение зрелищности матчей. (ru)
