National League Playoffs

[Davy500]

Surely the stronger team having a bad day at home is tough s**t really. They already have the advantage of not having the extra game and also the advantage of a home game in the semi. I kinda like the NL way of play offs as it means finishing 2nd or 3rd is something to aim for.

That's the trouble in play off games , as in they're one-off games. Its like we have been brilliant this season, but who would have thought we would have lost to Dorking, if that was a play off we are out

I have always thought play offs give an advantage to the team that finished lower, as its a free hit so to speak , and in many seasons we see teams promoted that never deserved to be, they just got lucky, or the ref helped them in key decisions
In fact, play off games are increasingly being decided by controversial refereeing decisions
