What an idiot Burgess is to get that red. What is he trying to achieve, other than play into the Genk player's aim to waste time :shrug:
Incidentally - the Genk no.9 involved in the 'take it to the corner' charade at the end of the game, is none other than former Albion fringe player, Andi Zeqiri.
From the highlights of the last league game, the number 11 looks decent, on the left.
They've had some players there - Mitoma, then Adingra, and now this lad.
I agree
Broadly this is how the play-offs in the National League work:
1st place go up as champions.
4th host 7th (higher team gets home advantage, and all ties are one leg only)
5th host 6th
2nd host 4v7
3rd host 5v6
Winners of semis play at Wembley for the second promotion place.
Sorry. 'Fairer than most' play-off formats.
Any play-off system to decide a title seems incongruous to us, because we are not used to it. But it would seem completely normal for say a fan of Wakefield or Widnes, and that's what their season builds toward.
I don't know what the Belgian league...
Okay - not exactly like NFL then, but more like the Rugby League Superleague. 12 teams play each other twice in a round-robin, to qualify for a play-off competition, culminating in the Grand Final to crown the champions. Australian A-League (soccer) is the same, and MLS very similar.
I don't...
Interesting first half in that game, for Jan Verthongen - TWO catastrophic errors at the back leading to goals, then a thumping header to get his team back in it.
They will, although there is a world of difference between playing a second half, having been down to ten, since the 12th minute - and effectively starting a 45 minute match with 10 completely fresh players.
