"Dead rubber" is a sporting term; used in description of a match in a league or series where the series' result has already been decided by previous matches' results. The dead rubber match therefore has no effect on the winner and loser of the series, other than the number of matches won and lost and can be considered entirely superfluous.\n> I dont care if its Peggy's funeral, Arsenal in a Champions League group stage dead rubber is more important\n
