FA cup semi final at wembley

Is it possible to enjoy the actual game? The only way I can see it, is if we are 3-0 up in the first 5 minutes. </p>

It was the same for the play off final at Cardiff. Don't get me wrong I had a fantastic weekend before and after the actual game. But the 90 minutes we were playing was torture. The pressure knowing the whole season depended on that 90 minutes. I found it very hard to enjoy the actual game. And the missus said I was a right miserable git, and she daren't talk to me for the whole game. It looks like more of the same for her at wembley.

I disagree

The semi is going to be worse than the final. If we get to the final we are part of the history books forever. When you look at the list of finals we'll be up there with the best of them. We'll have the big day and it will be fantastic to actually be a part of a game that we never in a million years dreamed we could be. And we'll be the underdogs too, so the pressure won't be on us.

Whereas losing a semi-final to a team that we are more than capable of beating would be heartbreak. I originally thought that just being at Wembley and being part of the story of this year's competition would amply make up for losing. But it wouldn't. Especially with the Ridsdale involvement too. I have nothing against Cardiff as a club, but losing will have him gloating and will justify, in his mind, nearly taking his third team to the wall. No, I can't stand the thought of losing the semi.

I am actually almost physically sick every time I think of it and I know that I'm only going to enjoy the game in retrospect. And even then only if we win. Although if we're three goals up with ten or fifteen minutes left I may calm down a bit.

I actually would like to know now how we get on. If I had a way of knowing I'd take it and foresake the excitement of the actual game.

I've even worked myself into a bit of a frenzy just typing this. I think I need a lie down.

When I signed up to be lifelong Barnsley obsessed nutter 30-odd years ago, I dreamed of making the top flight, I dreamed of beating Liverpool and Man United and my club has granted me those dreams. but I've only seriously dreamed of us winning the FA Cup for 5 days now. And I don't think I can handle it. How on earth am I going to make it until the 6th April????

 

Already a winner 4 me .... me+ son (1st game) @ wembley = win nt

RE: I disagree

I feel sick just reading your post about it, you are dead right, i had my head in my hands and not even watching the last 3 minutes of extra time against Chelsea. My God what pain and heart ache and stress this great little club puts it's fans under. Calm nerves at Wembley ,your having a laugh.

 

RE: That last line

It's little Isabel I feel sorry for. She's going to think it's like this all the time!

The worst thing is, I see Wembley Stadium every time I come home. Just saw it now as I got off the bus and started panicking again.

I don't know if anyone has realised this yet, but if we win, we get to gloat at our last league game of the season. If we dare, that is...

 

Hope im better than at Cardiff

moved from my seat after 10mins because i was getting claustrophobic and i don't even suffer from it, with that roof closed and all them tykes,plus my scarf tied around my neck i could hardly breath. I went and stood at the side,you know where the seats under the above tier were,half empty,just paced up and down like a mad man,when Hayesy scored i ran down a row and tried jumping a row,caught my leg and smashed my knee and wrist on concrete,if it wasn't for the booze i think i may have fainted.

I returned to my seat with my fellow Swinton Reds for the penalties,and even then the whole occasion got the better of me,as Tate missed i turned around to the family behind screaming "Score this and we win" not realising we had WON and the players were running around like mad men!!!

Spent the whole of Saturday night hobbling around Cardiff city centre in a denim jacket that didn't fit me,i borrowed it off my brothers mate you see coz i wasn't supposed to stay down night,but thought sod it

Oh if Wembley has the same result i'll go through the pain barrier again

 

Agreed with that nt
