BigfinLatic Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Sorry mate - didnt see this thread because of your cryptic title! Andy Bishop - truly awful. Hope we are never linked with him ever again... abysmal. Ah well... looks highly likely niether Bury or Rochdale will get promoted. Shame Edited May 10, 2009 by BigfinLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I've been watching United, Bury and F1 so I didn't see it all - but they were all over them without ever looking too dangerous from what I saw. At that point, like you say, you look at what threat your forwards are offering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 It's worth bearing in mind that this is the team who didn't fancy keeping hold of a loan signing from us who some people think would have been the making of our season if we'd had him...

At that point, like you say, you look at what threat your forwards are offering? Bury absolutely battered them and missed about 6 or 7 really good chances in the second half of extra time alone. Their keeper had a blinder. That game showed that there really is no justice in football. The better team lost out big style. And the 9th best team in the league are one game from promotion. Sheer lunacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your point is valid... At the same time though... sod me, Bury have only themselves to blame - especially Mr Bishop... the ref also game them a free sending off to make it even easier, Shrews were coming right back at them until the sending off, which changed the course of extra time... Ah well, never mind... Hopefully rochdale will show an equal amount of ineptitude later too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Not quite - 7th! But your point is valid... Only 7th after others point deductions Big Fin....although by my reckoning no deductions would have made them the 8th best team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Will repeat what I said on my facebook, I personally prefer the RL system for playoffs. Yes there are more teams in it, 6 instead of 4, but all games are over 1 leg with home advantage being decided by final league position, and you certainly get more of a reward in my opinion for finishing higher. I would say either this or a ladder based system, something along the lines of (home advantage decided by league position) 8th play 7th, winner play 6th, winner play 5th, winner play 4th, winner of that meets 3rd in the final. Either way, I don't think the current system rewards 3rd place enough. Edited May 10, 2009 by Lookers_Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give Darlington 10 back, and Rotherham 17 back then they are 9th. And Dale would have missed out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Rotherham supporting mate would leave his wife alone on their current holiday to come and bum you in gratitude for spotting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I had forgotten about Rotherham. My Rotherham supporting mate would leave his wife alone on their current holiday to come and bum you in gratitude for spotting that. Big deal. Any real fan would lube himself up out of gratitude.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
