Glad to hear that justice was done and their great run has been rewarded to an extent. As for Bournemouth, grow up and I might feel sympathetic.

 

Amen brother. Third place should always go up before 6th. Especially when they are near 15 pts better than them. Good luck Huddersfield

Fergie jr is reason enough to dislike Peterboro, and The Dons play in Aberdeen or Wimbledon so who the f*ck this lot from Milton Keynes are is anyones guess :)

 

FFS - if it was us that went unbeaten for the second half of the season I would be well ****ed off if we didn't go up. Huddersfield deserve it......plus as an added bonus....they are the least dislikeable.

One question I have though. Will the FA now ban the Udders lad for a push on the ref that was considerably harder than the one David Pruttton was banned for 10 games for?

No. The ref could have, but didn't take action at the time although he was obviously aware of the incident. My understanding of the FA rules is that they cannot revisit it.

Well done to Huddersfield, it was another great game for League One! But its great to see them get to the final, obviously its what they deserve.

 

The push on the ref was an interesting one. He wasn't going for the ref IMO - and was nowhere near as bad as Emile Heskey's charge a couple of weeks back. How Heskey was not sent off for that, I honestly have NO idea.

I don't really get the continuing Huddesfield love in, they have done well but heh ho we need to look after ourselves. MkDons winning the play offs opens up more potential transfer targets for us and is more points for us next season probably.

Great advert for the League yet again. I have to say although I'm ecstatic about getting back into the Championship these two seasons have been great in L1 and hopefully a Posh v Hudders final will reflect the excitement and quality this season has shown.

This ^^^ plus my in-laws live just around the corner from stadium MK so it's an easy away match.

I don't go for all this '3rd place deserves to go up' rubbish. 1st and 2nd deserve automatic promotion, and 3rd - 6th earn their place in the play-offs. The play-offs are brilliant imo, and make the season much more interesting. For example this league 1 season would have been over weeks ago if it was just the top 3 who went up. Also, people should remember their comments about this should we finish 6th next season...

 

I like Huddersfield as a team and a set of fans, but I'm a Southampton fan and for that reason I'd much rather have a smaller, weaker team promoted to boost our challenge next year. I also want to sign some of their better players like Pilkington and Roberts ;)

I agree with your views on the general excitement, but there should be some sort of benefit for the team finishing 3rd other than playing the 6th team.

 

I personally would like to see some sort of handicap applied for the semi-final; maybe a goal awarded in your favour for every 5 points higher up the league you are. Under that sort of system Bournemouth would have been 3-0 down before their tie began, but they would certainly not have been dead and buried. If nothing else it would encourage an open tie.

 

Appreciate though that there is no way in hell that this will ever come into fruition!

Apparently Fergie jnr was at the game last night checking out both teams? bit presumptuous isnt it? be a shame if MK dons went on to win tonight

 

To be fair, he wouldn't get any other chance to see them play before the final. No harm in being prepared even if they aren't through yet.

How about instead of a two legged semi, have just the one game, with extra time and penalties if needed, played at the ground of the team that finished higher? So third place gets the home advantage over 6th, with no away leg, and third place gets home advantage over fourth? Too unfair? Again I don't see it happening!

 

I always liked the idea of the play-off between second bottom in LEague Two and second place in the Conference, but then I am a bit weird.

So finishing 15 points ahead of another team and starting playoffs on an even footing is fair is it. You have no case.

when people say justice was done in huddersfield going through..

 

would you agree that justice was done between us and derby in 2007...and no hard feelings and all that..?

 

I had hard feeling as we deserved at least a draw in the home game and deservedly won at Pride park. The fact that Derby finished 3rd and us 6th did kinda soften the injustice of it all.

goodluck huddersfield? who cares! and as for those applauding walsall for staying up?who cares?some of you lot are wet!

 

Perhaps some have an IQ high enough to conceive of the concept that it's possible to support your own club whilst simultaneously wishing another club well in their quest.

 

Whilst I accept that you may have only just conquered walking and talking in unison please allow your meagre share of brain cells time to dwell on that idea.

Yes that is a couple of possible ideas. Also level at 90 minutes and the higher placed league side goes through. Then there is 5th against 6th, winner plays 4th, winner of that plays 3rd in final. It would be great to find an alternative to penalties.

Of course it's fair! That's the rules of the league ffs! All teams know that when they begin the season.

 

I presume you were pleased when we were beaten by Derby in the play-offs then? And will support the 3rd placed team should we finish 6th next year?

The benefit is that 3 plays 6, which is deemed the weaker out of the four teams and that 3 plays at home in the second leg which is seen as an advantage.
