Naval bases full of discharged seamen. So, I'd like whoever to be beaten by the Real Dons or Accie: Wimbledon, because I lived there for 11 years, Accrington, because it would be funny to see them haunting the Gas in another division. Rovers might not get so lucky next season. Better than discharged semen! I hope for a Wimbledon victory against Accy though I would prefer both to go through. My mate Mal (a true womble) tells me that our Osborne has been dumped and is likely to be given a contract by the (true) Dons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking that. I love the play offs, and they are here to stay, but tonight does show how they can be hard on a team finishing third and going for it to the line, over a team that can relax a bit lower down. Add to that their injuries tonight and it has been a tough gig for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton finished a whole 15 points ahead of Sheffield Wednesday and to me it seems unfair that they need to play them to get to the final. Over the course of the season they are clearly the better team and so should be deserving of promotion or at least a bye to the final. Mind you from a selfish point of view in terms of potential games I can attend next season - come on you owls I quite like the system where 5th plays 6th, the winner plays 4th and the winner of that plays 3rd. All one-off games. It's fairer and provides a more tangible benefit to finishing further up the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Decent game to watch in the end. 2-0 is a big score to overcome in the second leg, only downside for SW I would think is a slight disappointment given the way the game has gone they have not killed the tie stone dead. Tough on Brighton the way it worked out over the last few weeks, but them is the rules I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for rugby, cricket and other sports and can create an even better atmosphere/tension Cricket and rugby are full of stoppages anyway ( cricket even has food breaks!!). stick your technology up your arsenal!

Mind you from a selfish point of view in terms of potential games I can attend next season - come on you owls ..don't forget they beat us many years ago when we finished third. 88 points is a heck of an amount. Was it Pompey who finished with something like that in 93 and went out in the semis? Season Guy Whittingham got 42 goals iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, pretty much the latter. Did not think any would be put down to being 'taken out' really. From memory most just seemed to go down after turning ankles or pulling muscles.

Wanderingred Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 A few years back, Sheff Utd finished the season with 90 points and lost in the playoff final. Its a harsh harsh game, but I have no sympathy for Brighton... They went up at our expense despite being far inferior to us over 46 games so **** em. Swings and roundabouts.

Yup, not down to heavy tackles etc, just strains etc. it seems all the bad injury luck just happened in the game where it mattered the most, and either the next game on Monday very little time to recover and patch up.

The precious little dear can't take a long coach journey , lucky for him he does n't play at Newcastle , Sunderland or Middlesborough .

That way if a team finishes 6th they have to win three away games to secure promotion whilst the team team finishing third only has to win one home game to go up. That way it's advantageous to finish as high as poss, not just anywhere in the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I see Edinburgh City have beaten East Stirling 2-1 on aggregate. No yellow Breaking News tape on SSN, but does that mean there's a new team in the Scottish League? OK, 5.20pm and it's confirmed; Edinburgh City are now a League team. It's just occurred to me. Those poor East Stirling fans. They turned up to see their favourites today and what happened? They lost the final game of the season 1-0 at home and drop out of the League. Has any set of fans ever deserved such a blow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
