We're pulling the gap back aren't we? Would be an amazing comeback if we won it.

We did but it goes to a play-off comp like American sports and Rugby.

They were top in the league, but the championship is decided by play-offs like rugby league/union.

He has one minor downfall in that his pub is the Swindon branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club. Apart from that, he's a good bloke.

The football club donated a club coat to all the team prior to the final.

Once they are 10 points behind in a meeting they can nominate a rider to score double points but they have to beat an opposition rider to score, so if Swindon can still get 1st and 2nd, it still is a   5-1.

They'll do a tactical ride if they don't win the next.

We virtually need 3 5-1's to do this now...

Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, October 12, 2009, 20:14:14
What a load of bollocks. Surely they shouldn't allow the tactical ride in the play-offs?

I know but that's not the point. It makes sense in the league but it kind of spoils the play-offs a bit. It's like saying the next goal counts as 2 if you're 3 nil down.

Fully agree on that...

But it was ok that Swindon had a points advantage in the play off semi final though.

But that was due to 'winning' the league...

The ref decides if anyone needs excluding.

Post by: timmyg on Monday, October 12, 2009, 20:27:50
That's a load of balls!  No contact from the bikes and a little brush on the calf by the Swindon foot, caused by the Wolves guy locking his steering!

Nope.

That referee decision could have completely turned the result.  Call the exclusion and it's (probably) a 5-1 win with 2 to go. instead of a tied heat.  Fair play to the Woves fella as he got up and raced the hell out of it, but he's lucky to have been on the track.

Rossiter was proper pissed off when the camera followed him up to the pit area! :soapy tit wank:

In the end a win by 11 on the night, but to lose overall by 5.
