In fairness, both sides had a plan and they could defend adequately, but essentially it was all about cheating...diving, rolling around on the floor, dissent, time wasting...quite simply dreadful; they call it gamesmanship nowadays. Sunderland won't know what's hit them when come up against the best exponents of the dark arts in a couple of weeks!All play-off games are awful and certainly not ones for the neutral fan to get excited about. I have always hated the playoffs and while I understand why they were introduced I think there is something distinctly unfair about a team sneaking into the play-off places on the back of a late run and then turning over the team that has been third all season. We have cups for that type of team ffs. Anyhow I guess I'll always be haunted by that Ormondroyd "goal".
As for Wycombe and the Mackems, the best way of looking at it is to know we're shot of one of them next season.
