Liam Mandeville gave a penalty away with a terribly mistimed tackle. 0-1.
Now 0-2. Looking like Walsall and Wombles for the final FFS.
-
He got done like a kipper for their second as well.
-
Comeback kings are Chesterfield !
-
Long way to go yet. Not many gave Crewe a chance at 2-0 down.
-
Chessie remind me of us before we brought Rob Street in. Overcooking the passing, and relying on the flanks all the time.
How the f*ck did they get 8 goals against us?
-
Mandeville also at fault for the 2nd, far too easy to get past for the cross.

They’ve somehow used 40 players across their league games this season. We’ve used 27. Not sure who they’ve managed to do that.
-
If Walsall don’t get promoted I’d be making a enquiry around Taylor Allen
-
Taking the piss here, Walsall.
Praying Chessy get 1 back before the end.
-
0-2 FT.
It looks like the team that slaughtered us twice will be in League 2 again next season.
Funny old game.
-
A Wimbledon/Walsall play off final is not one to get the mouth watering! Wembley will have to pay people to go and watch!
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

There were moments of good play but overall lacklustre performances from both teams. Ponderous passing and too many mistakes.

0-2 FT.

Like DBR has said above, Rovers v Crewe last season......? It's only half time.... still all to play for
-
It’s never over in the playoffs. They could easily turn that around with an early goal. That being said, wouldn’t be disappointed with chesterfield staying down - I think they came into the league with a real arrogance this season that was partly peddled by the media. Reality check hopefully.
On another note - it’s glorious watching the drama of the playoffs play out with knowing we can just enjoy the games and our title for the rest of the summer. Great feeling!
-
Another nail in the coffin for “momentum”.
-
Can’t write chesterfield off, but they must play a lot better in the second leg.
I can’t understand why Fleck did not get a yellow or even a red after about 10 mins, was a definite yellow in real time, but viewing the reply it could have been.
5 mins later he gave a yellow but the challenge was no where near as bad as flecks challenge.
-
Only saw bits of this game but I don't get the fuss about Chesterfield. They seem a good side when they're good but not so good when they're not. An absolute travesty they beat us twice as they just weren't that good. We conceded 5 in the away game but should have scored about 7. As they can be so open they've every chance of scoring a few but Walsall are a tough side to break down and very effective even despite recent form (they were decent against us).
You'd still think Wimbledon v Walsall in the final and what a boring, defensive final that might be.
-
Watched it, thought chessie were horrific and like Steve said, I’ve no idea how they beat us twice. Tie not over though as we would know.
-
Chessie have worked out a way to win the match easily. Their manager has convinced them they are playing us again. :chair:
Manager just pulled a stunt he sent all the team out one minute early to get players to go up to their fans - Ref made em go back down the tunnel and both teams to come out together
Money wise it now makes no difference who wins any of the play off games everything is hedged to the penny
-
They might do a Crewe tonight
-
The way Walsall have started if they lose this I will be shocked
-
First goal will be key.. stating the obvious!
-
Still no nearer to scoring really don't want Walsall coming up
-
at least 0-0 is keeping us interested I am trying to dee that motorway behind the goal - but I think the cameras are higher up today -- can't believe how much I have seen Walsall THIS YEAR opposing them every match EXCEPT IN THE FIRST LEG
-
Come on chessie score and make it interesting please
-
Lakin on after X-Chessie signed centre forward in January from Bromley misses a sitter by using his left foot when it was easier to use his right
-
1-0 Walsall
-
Well chessie have been very poor they don't look interested in trying to win this game
-
That’s a bit unfair, they just haven’t had that final big of quality to score.
-
How we conceded 8 goals to this Chesterfield team, I’ll never know. They’ve been so poor in front of goal in both games.
-
What a belting assist from Adomah!
-
6 players over 30 started for Chesterfield. One for Walsall.
Pleased for Walsall, they’ve been the second best team in L2 over the course of the season.
-
And there was me thinking Port Vale finished second..
-
Late pitch invasion by Walsall fans.
Chessie players leave the pitch and so far won’t come out again.
-
Hopefully EFL will hand out another huge fine for the pitch invasion during the game just like with us
-

Don't think so
I hope you know I started backing them at 14/1 to make the play offs after the kiddie went back to Bet365
they were 50/1 then to win at Wembley
They don't arf talk some $hite post match -
for the record the two Walsall goals were scoredwith a combined distance of less than 2 feet from the goal line --

If you think teams always finish in positions that correlate to their performances over a 46 game sample, think again! Too much luck and variance involved in football for that to happen.

You may want to check what you wrote, Gaz!
League 1 or 2?

That ‘luck & variance’ pocketed me over £1100 this season.
If you know your football luck doesn’t come into it.

Depends on whether you mean performances in terms of quality, or effectiveness, or results.
46 games is more than enough for the cream to rise to the top. Brazil were by far and away the most entertaining team playing the best football to watch in the 1982 World Cup, but they went out in a 2 match 3 team mini league. As did England, but we were nowhere near the same to watch.
-
BigKeif replay the goals back, they ran straight at our left flank, exposed their control of the ball when under pressure and lack of pace to recover, a lot of teams tried to do it they were great at it in both games.
We improved the problem the last ten games when we got promotion. If we had carried on conceding like we were we might have struggled for the playoffs.

You’ve said some tripe on here but that takes the biscuit!!

I worked with a chap who was a big gambler, including casinos, sometimes came in saying how much he'd won the previous day but there many many days he came in and said nothing
-
Guy I used to work with has spent his life gambling
A very well paid bloke. Wins big sometimes too. But he lived with his Mum into his mid 30's, sold his bloody valuable sharesave options before they matured and, to this day, has absolutely nowt behind him.
Gambling? It's a licence to print money for the bookies and their ilk. Why else do we see so many new gambling companies starting up and the airwaves and billboards being absolutely dominated by these sharks?

Yes likewise with my work colleague late 30's still lived at home gambling seemed to be his life

Our local bookie is a friendly, salt-of-the-earth type of guy.
He lets his customers park their pushbikes next to his Rolls-Royce around the back anytime.

I agree Selby, it’s just more shocking how poor they are attacking wise, that it shows just how bad we were at defending in them games. I’d also rather not watch them 2 games back either haha painful enough at the time.

I must say I've donated a lot of my money to sick animals over the years. Mind you, I didn't know they were sick when I backed 'em!

When I was working in local Prisons there was a Trustee who I got to know, he told me why he was in Prison…He had been the manager of a local Supermarket, he had a Gambling debt of £36 k he thought it was a good idea to use the weekly takings of the store which was £28 k to skilfully Gamble and win the 38k……!,,,,,

This from someone who last season said about Luke Molyneaux “I could find better cheaper”, & that Lg2 was his level
Still waiting for the names of all those better & cheaper footballers.
You might fool some of the people some of the time, but I had your number early doors.

Is it just my football bets you’re interested in or do you want my horse & casino bets too?

On Danny Baker’s radio show the subject of gambling came up.
He has a friend who runs a bookies.
His friend said that there are four windows that take your money and one that pays out.
Says it all really.

I gamble mainly on football but sometimes on the horses, I don’t go mad and will perhaps stake £25 a week. I lose more than I win, but I physically go to a shop to bet and don’t have an on line account.
-
I have a bet365 online account as many companies close your account after one decent win, no matter how much you lose with them. I usually bet on horses and do ok, celebrate the wins, forget the losses - it’s a hobby not a career!
I don’t really bet on football but always back Donny to be champions to win a few hundred quid and promotion to pay for a couple of season tickets (£400/500). This year was an exceptionally good return. As all us Donny fans know, it most certainly doesn’t happen every year! :rtid:

Without itemising every bet I made over the course of the last 12 months hound, would this suffice?
Football & horses but I would say 95% football.

I’ve got a bet riding on Newcastle finishing in the top 4, had them, Burnley and us to be promoted, £5 pays £335. So hopefully they batter Everton Sunday

Thanks Usher, that is quite impressive, well done.
Maybe you should enter the big competition (PvO) next season and go for the prestigious trophy.

Couple of scary gambling stories, both true. A few years ago me and a mate were watching a Cup Final. As the teams emerged from the tunnel he started tearing up some betting slips. He had put money on which team would wear their home kits! Same again for who would win the kick off, (lost), and first throw in (lost), and first corner, (lost) and on it went. I had no idea of his addiction. He is now divorced and homeless.
Years ago in London I knew a guy who ran a gambling club. He had already gambled away the family home and one night lost his Bentley in a poker game. Just after that, in desperation, he lost the club - on the turn of a card. Sad but true.
Shows how it can grip you.
On a lighter note I can't wait for the fixtures to come out. So many big games. Bring it on! :rtid:

What's the PvO? Seen it mentioned a few times.
Is there a thread I should look for?

Obi is a score prediction thread. Players predict the outcome of Rovers league games. Either win, draw or lose.

I think he’s taking the piss..
