Title: league 1 Play offs
Post by: Bristol Red Rover on July 06, 2020, 06:24:53 pm
Tasty game between Oxford and Portsmouth. Marquis on for the last 30 mins, just booked. I think we could have done okay against these two.

just looked at the teams including the multitude of substitutes and the match is a commentators dream --

only one "wonkey name" to pronounce ........   :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:  perhaps they should take a pay cut with such easy names to pronounce

We are unlikely to be able to go anyway.
I hope that iFollow thing works as I reckon I will get it next season if matches can be watched live.

You can pay to watch individual fixtures - when they are shown.  You just register first and then pay for each game.  Maybe next season there will be a different method to use it.?

I thought that UK customers only got sound coverage IDM.
I have never bothered with it before and have been put off when I saw comments by people on the Lucky Pint match thread saying how poor iFollow is, cutting out all the time etc.
Under the virus circumstances though I was hoping that ST holders might get some sort of deal which included IFollow if they couldn’t or didn’t want to actually attend matches.

Great strike from Danny Andrew.
Game on, 4-2 Wycombe

Hard luck indeed...........again! At least he scored his penalty this time.

Some non-Saturday 3pm fixtures were available to watch to UK viewers at £10 a pop.  The registration is free. 

If the season starts behind closed doors they will have to include all fixtures.  I would also expect ST holders get the steams for free.

This season gone I used it to watch a handful of games, Bolton at home and Southend away spring to mind.

Anyone know if away goals count ?

No.

Remember Charlton?

No mate otherwise we would have gone through to the final last season.

Just seen Marquis only got 8 this season. Wonder if he wants to come home.

Great strike from Danny Andrew.
Game on, 4-2 Wycombe






If Fleetwood go two nil up I could see them going on to win the tie.

Have Wycombe actually got a midfield? They’re shocking
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs

Remind us what the first leg score was?
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs

Making Fleetwood look good - [layog an unconvincing game of rope a dope?

Barton on top tactically, Ainsworth been too busy to get a haircut though managed the dye.

Yeah, 4-1 but Fleetwood a red at 33 mins, and another at 84.

Talking purely about tonight’s performance obviously Alan. Massive gaps that Fleetwood are exploiting and Wycombe are sitting very deep.. imo

ooooh! Darren on as pundit again  :woohoo:
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs
Post by: Alan Southstand on July 06, 2020, 08:53:04 pm
It’ll not be long before someone from Fleetwood ‘dives’ to get a penalty, as was demonstrated in the first leg. Fortunately, the ref didn’t fall for it.

Akinfenwa could yet have a ‘big’ say in this tie - if he gets on, that is. :)
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs
Post by: Alan Southstand on July 06, 2020, 08:57:02 pm
And he’s on!

1-1.

I don't reckon much to Danny Andrews's hair cut.
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs

And a Fleetwood penalty!

Am I psychic? ;)

Ha! But was a deffo pen, as was the handball in the first half that wasn't given.

Couldn’t have happened to a better side, which Fleetwood are not, of course. It’s looking like we’re going to have to play them again next season, more’s the pity!

Probs Full Metal Jacket for the Portsmouth manager then!

Cost cutting for Fleetwood.

Let's hope Oxford triumph in the final as would be a travesty for football if Wycombe.... No, let's not even go there!

Noticed Ched Evans deliberate elbow into defenders neck once again.
Also a blatant dive to get a penalty which he didn’t get.
He has a very clever habit of trying to con the ref with his antics fortunately he didnt succeed today.
Title: Re: league 1 Play offs
Post by: idler on July 06, 2020, 10:36:59 pm
A disgrace of a player but just the sort of player that his manager wants.
He would be better using his skill than cheating all of the time.

Post by: RoversAlias on July 06, 2020, 10:37:55 pm
I will shed not one tear seeing Barton, Evans, Madden, Andrew and the rest of them suffer failure. Very glad Wycombe have gone through. The final will be an interesting clash of styles.

Yes no tears from me either seeing Fleetwood beaten.
At least Barton was magnanimous in defeat. Had the sense not to pick a fight with the beast after the game finished.

I didn’t watch the Oxford v Portsmouth match, but looking at the stats there was some clever thinking to sub players off to get penalty takers on

You didn't miss much it was a pretty poor affair,between two teams more scared of losing than trying to win the game..Marquis came off the bench but didn't have much of a impact..In the other game Wycombe got caught in that old problem of trying to make sure they defended their lead and made Fleetwood look better than they are

If you were a Championship team watching your future opponents you wouldn't be scared of any of them tbh..Fancy Oxford to win the final.TBH I wanted Pompey to go up,firstly because i think we had a promotion payment in Marquis contract (could be wrong) and Secondly out of those teams Pompey are the most likely to strengthen again next season.

Hound ..do not be put off I follow by those comments on lucky pint .I have got excellent quality of sound and video and loss of service was very rare .Rovers get £6 of each match fee,

The video service is usually better than the audio service.

I’ve had no problems with the video service.

Ok, cheers chaps.I will wait to see if anything is offered to ST holders like myself who have already purchased for next season.

Wycombe justifying their play off inclusion instead of Peterborough.
