All English final in the Europa League as well.
When was the last time both finals had 4 teams from the same country?

All I said was play to the whistle. The ref never blew up afterwards. Would I have been happy if he had blown up after the kick? Of course not, he had no reason to. That's how it goes.You would have been happy if the ref had blown up after the kick?

Unless someone knows different?
Baku tickets:
Arsenal 6.000
Chelsea 6.000
UEFA 56.700
Good distribution! Uh, uh, uh!
According to football guru Gary Lineker 4 teams from the same country never happened before. Also with extra time the referee must play on even when the extra time is over untill the attack ends. Believe me. Several Dutch persons counted down the extra time and when that was over used strong language with a video of course.
It's not an estimate by the fourth official.The extra time announced is merely an estimate by the fourth official
It's not an estimate by the fourth official.
Added time is decided by the referee, and he tells the fourth official how long it will be, so he can put the number in the board. This will usually happen a minute or two before the end of the 45/90 minutes, so any additional stoppage in the last couple of minutes can also be added on at the end of stoppage time.
It’s a decision between the fourth official and the referee. It’s always announced as a MINIMUM of X minutes added time anyway so the game can continue until 9X:59 if the referee feels necessary. What annoys me though is referees stopping attacks the moment the clock reaches, for example, 94:00 if 4 minutes added time have been announced.The extra time announced is merely an estimate by the fourth officialen
I've never understood why soccer is lax when it comes to timekeeping. Other sports have dedicated timekeepers.
A creditable result. I was surprised to see Farsley Celtic win the league over South Shields although I wont complain if South Sheilds fail in the play offs as they are a "backed" team who will fish for the same players as us and can outspend us.

Make it like rugby? Ball has to go dead from play first!
Ah great stuff.As they often say in the New Testament....."and it came to pass"......
Evo Stik Premier League....Play-offs
South Sheilds 1 ... Warrington Town 2.
National League - Play Offs Final
Salford City 3-0 AFC Fylde
Salford have been promoted to Football League after beating Fylde and it fair to say that they wouldn't be in football league next season if it wasn't for class of 92 co-owned the club.
I never thought I see Oldham Athletic playing Salford in Football league but that will be case next season and I be hoping to go to away game but I doubt I get ticket specially if Salford away end hold only 500 fans and sure Latics season ticket holders will get all tickets before they go on general sale.
The attendance was only 8,000 or so, at Wembley. Two inflated pub teams with no fans, as I read someone describe them on Twitter.

8,000 is a pathetic attendance for a play-off final at that level. If both clubs struggle to hit 5k for such an important game I fear for their sustainability. Average attendances during the regular season are one thing, but if a club can't hit 5 figures for a final at Wembley (outside of a fan protest as was seen at Blackpool in recent years) it's a poor do.Isn’t that a decent attendance for a level 5? Average attendances this season

Indeed - it is a woeful attendance.
2014: 19,000
2015: 47,000
2016: 17,000
2017: 18,000
2018: 16,000
2019: 8,000
For an example of comparative attendances, the 1989 FA Vase final (at the old Wembley) was watched by 26,489 people. The teams were Sudbury Town and Tamworth. Those are both easier trips than Salford or Fylde, but not three times easier!Where were these matches played, what travelling distances were involved and who were the two teams?
Remember it was you who brought the "pub teams" statement into this debate. Do "pub teams" in your area command attendances far in excess of the number of regular drinkers in those places of imbibement.
Wembley is no longer the be-all and end-all that it was in the days of rattles and flat caps.
