Katalinic Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 No sympathy TBH for Bompey whatsoever. They had a host of chances this year, but they blew it on the pitch, their fans acted like c*cks & Mitchell more than screwed a bunch of decisions up. They will struggle to stay up next year IMHO. But well done to Udders, they deserved to get through, had a damned good run and were only beaten by a miracle run by us. Exactly, lol at that c*ck Mitchell and to those Bompey fans who were crowing at being above us in the league back in December, shhhhhh.
Cestrian Saint Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Any other result would have been a disgrace. Huddersfield finished 16 points ahead of Bournemouth. Therefore over the course of a season they've been a better team. That's what the league is for. If a team finished 16 points adrift at the bottom of the league there's no way they deserve to stay up based on 3 further games of football, so why should it be any different at the top of the table? The playoffs should be scrapped or at best involve teams from the top of one league playing the teams from the bottom of the league above. Sadly money rules the game these days so it will never happen.

Sadly money rules the game these days so it will never happen. There is a fairer way of doing it I've seen someone else suggest, that still gives the league the same number of games for the money. 5th plays 6th over two legs, with 5th placed team at home 2nd. The winner of that plays the 4th placed team over two legs, with 4th placed team home 2nd. The winner of that plays 3rd at a neutral ground in a winner takes all match. This way the teams finishing higher actually get an advantage for their higher position in the league.
shurlock Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 (edited) I think it was suggested on some other forum that the playoffs should be maintained but modified so that if a game remains level after 180 mins, the team that finished highest in the league would go through - no need for extra time or pens. This would pay greater respect to league position and arguably make games more exciting while keeping the playoff format for the neutrals and the money men. Think its a very interesting proposal.

Miltonaggro Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Well done Huddersfield, there's already one Punch & Judy show in the Championship...
Crab Lungs Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Massive credit to the Bournemouth players, incredible character but no sympathy for the Bompey fans, f()ck them. Imagine if that was us, they'd be loving it... in fact, wallowing in it. As for us, I don't want to "gloat" over them, just think "f()ck 'em"

Mmmm no...Giving a team the opportunity to not win a game but still qualify does not make games more exciting.
shurlock Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Mmmm no...Giving a team the opportunity to not win a game but still qualify does not make games more exciting. I can see your point but it would also force the other team to chase and attack more.
terrasaint Posted 18 May, 2011 Posted 18 May, 2011 Mmmm no...Giving a team the opportunity to not win a game but still qualify does not make games more exciting. It's fairer than the current system.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Pls stop calling them Bompey - it is embarassing Lol! Been calling them Bompey since the early 70's since an Uncle, long departed, used the name. What's embarassing about it?
September Saint Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Pls stop calling them Bompey - it is embarassing It's embarrassing, childish and rather silly. How well would we have done on the resources they have (be honest) All clubs have their share of plonkers, I sit near some at SMS! Let's congratulate them on their effort and ignore the minority of their fans burnt up with envy.

Let's congratulate them on their effort and ignore the minority of their fans burnt up with envy. Halle-effing-leuyah...well summed up. What I have been trying to say all season. Yes CRAB LUNGS and DRONSKISAINT and your ilk - just because a few keyboard warriors from our club get up your nose - it doesn't mean we all think the same! Very proud of the team and fans last night, got back at 2am luckily as I'm an exile...played well, but plainly obvious we need a bit more physicality in the team, like yourselves, Hudd and Brighton (to a slightly lesser degree) have. Hudd will have to improve alot next year IMO if they do go up.. Thanks for the positive comments - apologies for the lack of an easy 6 points next year - at least you can have your 'proper' derby back!!

Bad day at work - especially for a Saints fan? Bizarre. Best for him that we are in different leagues next year!
Junction 9 Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Lol! Been calling them Bompey since the early 70's since an Uncle, long departed, used the name. What's embarassing about it? Have been supporting Saints for 25 years, and have never seen or heard the word until this season.

Let's congratulate them on their effort and ignore the minority of their fans burnt up with envy. I don't see anything wrong with Bompey. Everything you said about them as a team is true they've done very well considering what they've had to deal with and they play some nice football (though never against us it seems). But come on it's just a bit of leg pulling no worse than them calling us stains or such like. Edited 19 May, 2011 by doddisalegend
krissyboy31 Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Have been supporting Saints for 25 years, and have never seen or heard the word until this season. Me neither and I've been a Saints fan for 40 years.
scotty Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Me neither and I've been a Saints fan for 40 years. this.
dune Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Reminds me of the last big game i went to at London road. Posh v spurs, 21000 crammed in, i was stood on the old glebe road side terrace.
dannysfc Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Am also watching this game with interest as the thing with me is that I wouldn't mind playing Peterboro next season as I've haven't been to Peterboro's ground yet as I've already done MK Dons already but I can see with Peterboro winning already altho it's 3-3 on agg that Peterboro will do it and go to the final at Old Trafford and play Huddersfield but we'l see! I wonder what will happen to Peterboro's star players like Mackail-Smith, Boyd, Tomlin, Lewis to name a few as whether there'l stay at Peterboro or not as if they don't go up I personally think that we should make a move for a few of them like Mackail-Smith etc but we'l see!

Turkish Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 what a shocking piece of refereeing to disallow that third goal, if that costs them Ferguson will have something to moan about.
shurlock Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Mk dons done nothing. You would think they have nothing to play for.
dune Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 MK Dons have been absolutely dreadful. They play like us tbf.
LGTL Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 They play like us tbf. Albeit with less skill, less power, worse players and ultimately less success you mean!
LGTL Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 I'd make CMS our number one target this season, I don't think Norwich will be interested now. We'd surely have as much chance as anyone else?
shurlock Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 How do they play like us? To start, they only play one upfront.
Saint J 77 Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 I want Huddersfield to beat Peterborough now! Apart from the simple fact that they derseve it more from their league postion and points, I just can't stand Darren Ferguson
Turkish Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 CMS is quality, a superb display again, he has to be our number one target this summer.
thorpie the sinner Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 CMS is quality, a superb display again, he has to be our number one target this summer. Only problem is, I can see Posh wanting 4-5 million!
thorpie the sinner Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 I want Huddersfield to beat Peterborough now! Apart from the simple fact that they derseve it more from their league postion and points, I just can't stand Darren Ferguson lol!! and 32000 saints as well + richard chaplow
shurlock Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 Whatever we sell Puncheon for should be used to make an offer but I wouldn't pay more than £2.5m. He's a good honest pro with bags of energy but he's not class.
Flyer Posted 19 May, 2011 Posted 19 May, 2011 what a shocking piece of refereeing to disallow that third goal, if that costs them Ferguson will have something to moan about. On the other hand Im quite happy the player diving after no contact screwed the goal up.
pressingon Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 CMS is quality, a superb display again, he has to be our number one target this summer. Much as I love Lambert & Co he has been the best player in this league by a country mile and could easily see a prem club take him
Turkish Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 On the other hand Im quite happy the player diving after no contact screwed the goal up. Well yes, but that only makes it worse, duped by the dive, then gave a free kick to Peterborough, denying them a goal. All he had to do was let play go on for a couple for seconds.
Window Cleaner Posted 20 May, 2011 Posted 20 May, 2011 Much as I love Lambert & Co he has been the best player in this league by a country mile and could easily see a prem club take him Certanly not the best player in the League no, probably the most noticeable though.The best player in the League certainly plays for us, there are 3 or 4 potential candidates, depends on how you value footballers really.
