Football eh? Bloody Hell.

I'd given up honestly, nearly didn't even watch the game.

No words

As a wednesdayite I’ve never seen anything like this - fantastic. What a game of football

So chuffed for Darren Moore after the stuff he’s been through this week

Wow, wow, wow, wow. Congratulations Wednesday.

Ignoring the weirdness of filming it on your phone, I'm sure a lot of us lower league fans can relate to this heart break.



Edit: Poor bloke was probably filming it expecting to see his side celebrate going to Wembley! / depending on your point of view!

Turn around! Total eclipse of the Posh.

What an amazing comeback. Apparently a 2 goal deficit was the most any team had come back from in the play offs, before this.

Play-Off Final today (3pm).

Dad's a Barnsley fan, so at least one of us will be happy by 6pm.

 

[The Octagon]

Get. In.

 

[belboid]

You like to make it hard for yourselves, don't you?

 

[Maggot]

More congrats to Wednesday.

Also sympathy for Barnsley. As a Palace fan, I know the heartache of losing to a goal in the last minute of Extra time.

What a day, and what a way to get promotion. My 14 year old daughter came with us yesterday and hopefully she'll remember it for the rest of her life. Its impossible to put into words the feeling of a last minute winner in a game like that.

Whilst pleased to see Wednesday go up Barnsley have every right to feel very hard done by- denied a penalty, a very, very dubious sending off of their player, failure to take clear chances.

Absorbing game. Wednesday rode their luck yesterday but it would have been a travesty had they failed to win promotion having put togehter such a massive points tally. A freakish season in many ways.

Two good young managers- Darren Moore comes across as a great guy and Michael Duff has done a really good job at Barnsley. If they keep the core of that squad and add well to it then they should be pushing for top two next season.

With some gubbins and financially distressed outfits relegated from the Championship the promotion field next season should be a touch less crowded.

I’d have to disagree with you on the red card. The tackle was late, high and reckless - under today’s rules that is clearly a straight red. Don’t know what he was doing anyway given the ball was in our half at the time.

With the penalty yes we were a bit fortunate. Seen those given as they say.

No doubt Barnsley feel hard done by, and clearly I’m biased but I thought we deserved it- not least for the season we’ve had.

Wednesday have a chance of staying up next season, think Barnsley would likely have gone straight back down- promotion would have come too early there.

As you say, taking the season into account, Wednesday deserved to go up!
