Play Off Finals

by genome » 23 May 2015 18:30

My favourite weekend of the football calendar. Currently 0-0 between Southend and Wycombe.

Heartbroken for Sam Saunders who was challenged after 6 seconds on the clock and had to go off injured.

Who do we want to go up? I'm going Naarwich, Swindon (so we can play them next year) and Wycombe because I don't like Phil Brown.

Wycombe currently 1-0 up in extra time, after a hilariously poor refereeing decision in the second half denies Southend the most stonewall penalty in the history of football. The goal was a 30 yard free kick that came off the crossbar, rebounded from the goalie's back onto the crossbar again, and trickled over the line.

Birtles seems to have suddenly shut up about short run ups.

Southend keeper acted like a bellend throughout the penalties. Really wanted him to lose.

+1

I hate penalty shoot outs.........the blame always comes down to one man.

Wycombe should look where they were this time last season...Ainsworth is a decent manager who they should hang on to.

Just Swindon to lose tomorrow........then that is the full set of my wish-list bombed out for this seasons p/offs

Ref should've booked the Southend keeper for timewasting.

Brown's celebration for the equaliser summed him up in five seconds

I cannot stand that commentator on Sky today. Constant over-the-top hyperbole, drove me nuts.

Then why buy into it?

Listened to R5 for free........all the emotion and feeling......but whilst being able to get on with things.

Love football, hate S$Y

Because I wanted to watch it, not listen. I generally like most of Sky's commentators, though.

........and that's where football has possibly failed its fans

Would rather have sound-no vision, than be fleeced by S$y's vision- no sound.

Birtles is an absolute twat. Contradicts himself on scenarios throughout the game.

Oh and for the record I believe that referee called the penalty decision correctly.

Attacker waited for the touch and simulated a ridiculous pushing forward action. Watching the defender there was hardly any contact.

Swindon behind after 2 mins :lol:

If they do lose this game, someone should go and dangle a commiserative banner over the bridge at Junction 11 :lol:
