"It took a dubious penalty, a set piece and a goalkeeping fumble to see them through." As opposed to what? Two wonderfully taken goals struck sweetly from the edge of the box? That said, he wished us luck, so good on him for that.
2 great goals they scored too werent they! Like you say - at least he wished us luck for the Final!</p> WE CAN BEAT SWANSEA!!!!</p>
The penalty wasn't dubious was it? Jacko would certainly have been shouting for it. I wondered at first if it was outside the area - but the replay showed it to be a correct decision. Also, if you don't shoot, you don't score. Brian Howard has had a slightly disappointing couple of games. However, he showed in that moment (when he got forward and shot at goal) why Ritchie was prepared to let Jacob Burns go. Finally, Bobby Hassell (in tandem with Paul Reid) demonstrated how to bail out your team when the chips are down. Hats off to those two! Fantasic evening. I will have a nice day at work tomorrow. Of course, it all counts for nothing unless we win in Cardiff.

We watched the game in Walkabout I persuaded my dad to turn out. It's a cracking place to watch the footy - loads of screens and seating. James cried off at half time with a stomach complaint of some description. No sign of "Catatonic Tyke" (Rob).
