I know the topic comes up now and again............... but, the play off's.
We now see Walsall finishing third and being pushed out in one game (edit..2 games - TY St Charles) by the team finishing sixth. It is such a lottery and its only purpose is to stringing out the season and make more money.
We always hear from the pundits "no one wins the league by accident", well if that is true and I am quite happy to accept that is, surely the same logic applies to "no one finishes third by accident".
Walsall finished with 10 points more than the team finishing in sixth place, so in two games, potentially 10 games with getting something from a game, mean less than a team ability to get a result in two legs.
No I don't follow Walsall on the quiet, it is the whole issue of play offs I have a problem with!!
To me it just cheats a team deserving of promotion on ability and replaces them with a team who has earned their place by getting a result in a couple of games, unlike the seasons worth of games, which the team finishing third has achieved.
Just another excuse to earn a few more bob for some
