Really pissed off tbh. Our DM went full butcher mode and got sent off after 40 minutes. The players were nervous af and complained every decision. The ref was bad, and I can understand their frustration, but they didn't keep their cool.

At the end of the game, the ref awarded Depor a second goal, which might not even have crossed the line (there is no VAR or goal line technology in Segunda), which shouldn't have been allowed any way due to a foul on one of our players.

Pfffff, looks really bad. We can win by two goals at home (a 2-0 would qualify us after ET due to our higher position on the table, since there are no pks in the promotion playoff), but Deportivo will likely score one, and I really don't see us scoring 4.

In any case, I've got a ticket for the home game and I've booked a flight. Hope we can make a comeback...

That's a dumb rule imo.

I think it's fair. One of the biggest complaints of the championship is that you can finish a point from 2nd but a bunch from bottom of the playoffs but get no real advantage from it. Having such big games rely on penalties is blergh.

these playoffs in general are unfair
the only purpose is to generate tv money

championship and segunda are crazy enough with 24 teams, just let the top 3 go up ffs

Easy way to solve it: make it a one match affair and give the team who finished higher the home advantage.

i checked the replay again and i am pretty sure the ball was in mate

and that red card was absolutely insane, worst tackle i have seen all season tbh
fucking murder attempt

We used to have the top 3 teams going up... that lead to the last 6 game weeks or so full of teams that had nothing to fight for, allowing the handful of teams that were fighting for relegation or promotion at that point to get free wins from opponents that were already thinking about their summer vacation. This has, for the most part, stopped happening since playoffs were introduced.


idk, I'm not sure and tbh, I haven't watched any further replays or anything related to this game since it finished... not in the mood for that yet.

The tackle was indeed completely retarded. Threw the game away right there.
