PLAY OFFS

Well thank goodness we won't be seeing Stuart McCall falling off a car after over celebrating a memorable Bradford City victory. He claimed that he got his foot caught in the windscreen wiper. YeH! Look at his eyes! Good job he wasn't on the transit.Have a look......

Today, the 20th, Millwall (6th in the division after 46 games) are off to the Championship having sneaked a 1-0 win over McCall's Bradford City (5th in the division after 46 games) in the Division One play off final. I saw Millwall play at the OLD Den when I was very young and it was drab match ending 0-0. As the referee blew his whistle, there was a pitch invasion as the home crowd ran from behind the goal towards the referee. They knocked the ball out of his hands, ran the ball down the pitch and smashed it into the opponents' goal! All good natured, but maybe the start of something more sinister.

Scunthorpe and Fleetwood failed in their semi-finals despite being 3rd and 4th in the league table respectively. Where's the justice? Beaten by teams who ended lower than them in the table

So the Championship has the Millwall Firm to look forward to and Oakwell will be preparing itself.

The previous play offs included the Division Two semi-finals  over two legs, which were truly exciting with 11 goals shared between Exeter City and Carlisle (3-3, 3-2)

and 11 shared between Luton and Blackpool (2-3, 3-3).
Blackpool (7th) and Exeter (5th) go through to play in the Final on the 28th at Wembley. We definitely we got our money's worth, but heart breaking to lose in such circumstances.
Have a look at the goal times in these play offs!
Exeter scored in the second leg after 90 + 5 minutes extra time to see them through after Carlisle had scored after the 90.
Blackpool scored in the second leg from an OG after 90 mins and 5 extras. The ball was poorly cleared and rebounded of the keeper's backside.

Slight margins.

Yorkshire will have another chance to reach the next level when Huddersfield play Reading on the 29th at Wembley after Huddersfield (5th in division) beat Sheffield Wednesday (4th) on penalties and Reading (3rd) stole the march on Fulham (6th).

Lincoln City and Forest Green Rovers rise from the National League.
