So the 2nd leg at Amex goes to extra time and pens . . . . . . . . .

[KJP]

Why did they not make the play offs first leg both Saturday or Sunday one at 3pm and one at 5.30pm or whatever depending on TV schedules for Sky and then the 2nd leg the following Wed and Thursday evenings. There is no advantage or disadvantage to either club as the final isnt until Mon 27th, or would this interfere with other play offs scheduled.

FA cup final and premier league matches, that's why

Ok didnt check that but the cup final i can understand the Prem is decided so why not an 11,30 and 1.30 kick off then as the Prem usually all kick off at the same time or if they kick off at 1.30 make it a 4.00pm kick off.

Palace may not even reach the play offs...

11th may you have premier league game at 12.45 and FA cup final at 5.15
18th may has league 2 final at 1.30pm
19th may you have league 1 play off final at 1.30, premier league final day at 4pm

So someone would have had to play on an evening at some point anyway

More importantly, other than Dave, who the HELL is going to score a penalty for us?

 

[brightn'ove]

could we move the away fans for the playoffs to the east stand?

the reason being that IF it does go to penalties and the away team win the toss, they would be taking the penalties almost entirely in front of their fans... it would hardly be a home advantage..

My five would be:

Dave
Hammond
Ulloa
Barnes
Vicente

When was the last time we lost a penalty shoot-out. I can only remember Fulham at the Goldstone - has there been one more recently?

Luton away. Unless you're on about at home then I can't think of any, closest we've came to losing is Orient in the JPT.

 

[Philzo-93]

I wouldn't! I would trek it over the Downs singing "Who's that Man From Argentina" loudly and proudly after Ulloa pots in the penalty that sends us into the final.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Remember Luton away now - game about as awful of Luton itself, well almost!

The toss of the coin is to decide which team takes the first penalty , I don't think there is a choice any more at which end they're taken due to safety considerations.
