Title: The Play Offs
Post by: DustCobb on May 17, 2010, 21:39:04 pm
Another bloody entertaining game tonight!

Whether people like or hate the play offs, there ain't half good to watch, especially when you're not favouring one of the teams!

Can't beat them as a neutral.

Good 'kung-fu' style kick for Swindon's red card though.  ;D

Last nights Swindon game was especially good I thought I only tuned in for the 2nd half to see what the score was and found myself watching until the end.

I think as a neutral Swindon perhaps are the team I want to go up - deffo not want Millwall - assuming they can overturn Huddersfield.

I think the fact that there is no away goal rule encourages more attacking football and more exciting matches.

Steve Morrison has put Millwall in front against Huddersfield.

So Millwall are through -deffo wanting Swindon to go up now and also Blackpool to win in the championship play off would be interesting,
As for League 2 I hope Rotherham go up so I do not have to go to that awful ground again next season.

Blackpool to win in the championship play off would be interesting

It'd be funny to see Man Utd request 10,000 tickets and be told "sorry, our entire ground only holds 12,000. You can have 1,500 and think yourselves lucky". :D Those tossers would have a fit...

I'm hoping on a Blackpool win too. That way it may be possible to get in a prem game or 2 next season with my tangerine supporting friend... if his dad gives up his season ticket once in a blue moon  :P

Its the Championship Play Off final today.

What do we reckon? The last 3 championship play off finals have all ended 1-0. Surely the two teams on show today will have more goals in them than that.

Blackpool scored a few goals during the season, I think they will win but it will be an open game with both teams attacking, I predict Blackpool 3 Cardiff 2

Correct so far :D

What a game though.

Indeed its a cracker - I glad I started watching it as opposed to cutting the front lawn.

As for the prediction Abington Cobbler - I hope you placed a bet on your scoreline - although something tells me we have not seen the last of the goals yet.

Oops, i didnt put money on the 3-2 score line. I do hope there are more goals in 2nd half so my prediction is wrong, all i want is an entertaining game with two teams attacking and it seems thats what we're getting

Good goal from ex Cobbler Danny Green today for Dagenham.

Another from the Morison bracket of I wish we never let them leave....

Green didn't just leave though, if I remember rightly he chose to follow Calderwood to Forest.

Do you realise, if things had worked out slightly better, I could have been at Twickenham yesterday and Wembley today seeing two of my home town clubs at the homes of their respective sports in their play-off finals? So near yet so far but what a saving, with tickets for three times two, ferry, hotel(s), dieso and my wifes shopping day(s) in London, a least a grand saved if not a lot more...... :P  ;)

Green was released by Gray. I think he was injured when Gray came to the club and only appeared in the last reserve mat5ch of the season

It always seems to be the team that end up in the last spot in the Playoffs that seem to win the thing..

I am sure Marvo will provide detail to prove or disprove that statement... :P
