Play off final

[ron obvious 1,514]

So annoying. Rubbish though we''ve been, we''re capable of playing miles better that pile of poo. Inexplicable really.

[TIL 1010 4,797]

Happy for Huddersfield but here are a couple of facts......1) They have only won one of their last eight games.2) The last time they were relegated from the old Div One back in 1972 it was Norwich City who took their place.

[Alex Moss 2,165]

Wonder if Jaap Stam will still be with them next season?

[damn that Ralph Coates! 47]

next season Farke needs to bring in solid German defenders like Heffalump, Lowe and Schindler, and we might win some penalty shoot outs!

It could''ve been youIt could''ve been yooooooooooooooooo!Stuart Webber, it could''ve been you

[Indy 3,322]

Does make you question just why Webber jumped ship!

Congratulations Huddersfield, really well deserved.

Alex neil''s appearance annoyed me. He should almost have been ashamed to be there. If he''d paid any modicum of attention to our defence this season in coaching / personnel he/we could have been there today

Eh? wasn''t it 1-1 at Hillsborough?

[Indy 3,322]

Technically not as it was an OG.

I didn''t know that.......they do count though don''t they? Nobody''s going to take away our milk cup final win from us are they?!?

[Branston Pickle 3,690]

Quite ~ og or not, Huddersfield did score in the Sheff Wed game, and shouldn''t have had to go to extra time/pens. It is still beyond daft that every major tournament uses away goals, but our play-offs don''t on some spurious ''it is unfair'' argument.

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800]

I think the opposite should be true....all tournaments should do away with away goals...or at very least have it

after extra time. Far too much importance is placed on the geography by which a goal is scored

Congratulations Huddersfield, really well deserved.[/quote]Webber was quite open about his reasons for coming to Norwich despite knowing perfectly well that Huddersfield might win promotion. Don''t you believe him?

[Making Plans 940]

Given that, like Huddersfield, we''ve got Webber and an ex Dortmund coach, the big question is, can lightening strike twice in consecutive seasons?

Whilst I agree with Ricardo that the game was dire - and that the slightly better team won it - for me there was a moment of Karma.

As a neutral, I was hoping that Obita would either have his penalty saved, or he would miss.

Why the nastiness you may ask - because I can''t stand watching football being ruined by cheats, divers, divas and players who have got to resort to non-football related tactics to get their way. When Huddersfield had a swift counter-attack, Obita was guilty of introducing rugby tactics to the game. His tackle was so blatant as to defy why any ref would only award a yellow card.

Players often "take one for the team" which I sort of understand, but don''t necessarily condone, but they tend to do it in a footballing way. If teams can''t win by fair means, then tough! Be big enough to put your hands up and admit that the other team deserved to win. Don''t try to gain unfair advantage by what is effectively cheating - otherwise we become no better than Maradona!

Unfortunately, this quasi cheating has become too prevalent in today''s game to such an extent that it is almost becoming accepted as the norm, and as far as I am concerned, "norm" can bog off!

Apparently Huddersfield are the first team to get promoted via the play offs with a minus goal difference.......
