Play-Offs

[RHB]

It's supply and demand. Chris Phillips needs copy for the next edition of the Echo, so he asks for an interview and the players oblige. No interview, no rhetoric, and we still won't score. It's also a bit Catch 22, no interviews at all, and we'd all be demanding information from the Club.

 

[thenobster]

It’s cut n paste journalism. I get why it happens, but we’re not taken in ol’ chum

 

[greyerfox]

There is a script which gets passed around ready for when Chris calls. The points which must be included are.....
1. It wasn't meant to be
2. We still believe
3. We can score goals
4. We go again
5. We take the positives
6. Focus on winning next game

Once those essentials have been spouted then anything else is a bonus.

Rather surprised he didn't mention they are looking forward to seeing Moncur again.

 

[Strykr]

Id rather he said 'we tried but just werent good enough'.

 

[PIERS]

It would be nice to see some honest stuff ..
So Kev, how do you feel after the game

F….ing p.ssed off mate, it’s Braintree ffs ..
Morton can get the …. Off home. Couldn’t pass diarrhoea.
How the bonne miss that sitter was he asleep.
Mind you I did nearly ****e my pants with amazement when Bridge went outside his man and got a cross in natch not one of our clowns got near the open bloody goal it presented

So Ebbsfleet next week Kev?

Ebbsfleet. Oh dear fking god. I smashed one in when we battered QPR

It’s actually a very simple equation now .. win our last 3 matches and we get to 70 points ., Gateshead only get 3 points out of their last 3 games( including home to us )and they get to 69 points , so with 7 points secured we scrape into the play offs before an amazing couple of away victories in the play offs takes us to Wembley where we win the final on penalties after equalising in the last minute of full time !! You heard it here first !!

We can afford them to have a draw if we can sort out the goal difference situation over the other five games. If we beat them each goal literally counts as two goals.

Why is Alder**** Wokin game on tv ?? When there is play offs places up for grabs ?? That’s a pointless meaningless game for tv.

Would have been a potential relegation 6 pointer when it was chosen

Its a local Derby that's why.

 

[Realist]

Its a local Derby that's why.

But meaningless.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

If Gateshead win today, then we must also to keep out slender hopes alive.

It's as simple as that.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Gateshead 0-2 down at Hartlepool now..

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Back in our hands again if Gateshead lose. It doesn't matter about any other results, if we win our games, we are in the play-offs. We couldn't, could we?

 

[MisterStubbs]

3-1 Pool lead now.

 

[Realist]

That second goal Gateshead have got back could prove decisive in the goal difference at the end of the end

 

[GBJ]

That second goal Gateshead have got back could prove decisive in the goal difference at the end of the end

We have to beat them so both our goal differences will swing. Plus we need to win next week.

 

[Liam AAS]

If by some fluke we made it this year then 25k max. Wembley is a ****e venue for a final at this level..
Southend v Oldham or York might make an atmosphere. But you could end up with Gateshead v FGR

We're geting >9k at home?!

 

[Barling Magna]

Yes. Hartlepool 3 Gateshead 2.

 

[MisterStubbs]

It’s back in our own hands, somewhat unbelievably. Win our last two and we’re in. Football aye, bloody hell.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Guys. I don't think goal difference will come into it. We win both our games and we are in the play-offs. If we don't win them both, then it's unlikely we are tying for 7th and 8th place.
So we need to roar them on for the two wins.
