Cat - if 2nd and 3rd are tied, but 1st is ahead on points, are matches against 1st included in the goal difference etc. used to work out who goes through, or is it just 4th's that are ignored?

1st is ignored too. It's on the head to head, so looking at points scored, if team a vs team b had a win each or 2 draws it moves to goal difference, then goals scored (which will be equal in head 2 head if goal diff is 0), then away goals. After that it goes to overall goal diff ...
