Leagues One & Two - 2020/2021

If the commentator says 'to be fair' one more time......

[Tuna]

Been a decent, entertaining playoff final this.

[Tuna]

Sticking the centre half up front!

[Matt]

Enjoyed this, more so than yesterdays Championship playoff really.

 

On that note, wasn't the Championship playoff always saved until the bank holiday Monday?

 

Doesn't really matter but it makes sense to work up through the leagues;

League Two - Saturday.

League One - Sunday.

Championship - Monday.

[Tuna]

That was the chance there for Poole, not the player you want in that situation though.

It’s the Saturday in international tournament years because of releasing players

Gutted for Lincoln, incredible season for them but fell short at the final hurdle hope they can build on this and go again next season lots of loanees in the squad so will need replacing.

 

Nice though that it's a team like Blackpool that have done it after all their supporters endured during the back end of the Oyston era.

Congratulations Blackpool !

 

They like a play off final.

 

Little quiz here:

Just shows how many teams have been in a play off final.

[Wymsey]

Blackpool can forget their past ownership issues and look forward to a bright future knowing they have owners now who actually care about the club.

11/11  Took me a while to get the not been promoted since 1991 team!

[isaidno]

Well played Blackpool,  the better team won.

[Fox92]

Brilliant for Blackpool, back in second tier. Be playing Preston and Blackburn again.

[SAFC1]

Well done to Blackpool. 

[Ric Flair]

Get in there Blackpool, so pleased for their fans after what they went through over the last few years before ousting the Oystons.

[StanSP]

Newport should have had a penalty earlier. Keeper punched the Newport player like Ederson did to Iheanacho once. Nothing given.

[Facecloth]

This is all set up for Ellison to grab the winner.

[Tuna]

Foxestalk legend Nicky Maynard is on!

[StanSP]

Ellison on.

[lnkstern]

I saw the back of the ref's head at the start of the second half, and said "self, that looks like Bobby Madley."

 

A couple of google searches confirmed that is actually is him!

On a separate subject, these playoff matches serve as a reminder of what English football is like without VAR.  My summation is, just about the same number of mistakes, without the agonizing waiting for a second decision.

[Super_horns]

Least can kind of accept one in real time than as you say another is made  by a 2nd official having several looks whilst  waiting for ages .

Oh wow big dive for the pen 

[StanSP]

What a mess of a decision

Really shocking actually. Surely the ref couldn’t be 100% sure from his view. 

[Tuna]

Go Morecambe!

[Tuna]

After that shocking miss from Ladabie, you knew the sucker punch was coming.
