Ive still not given up hope for @desperado Keep your phone on mate, you never know.

Not too down about it leaving the ground which tells me I never expected much from tonight deep down. It felt and feels more like a missed opportunity than a failure. Don't get me wrong it's frustrating losing over two legs to side that I honestly feel we are better than but I don't know, just feel like I can't get angry or critical about it.

I think this is a very well spoken interview from Ian, with great perspective and taking the emotion out of it. We came from league 2 just 2 seasons ago with a completely reborn club and squad, which since then has progressed each year. The fact we've completed with the teams around us who have all been in the championship more recently has been great. And still, having seen some of the 'best' teams in the league, they're actually quite poor footballing sides. Like Ian said, we're playing the longer game, not rushing in overspending, building the club back up and playing a style that has the foundations to take us forward. Barnsley will struggle playing like that in championship games against teams that will dominate the possession but with much better footballers than ours currently. I have complete faith in Evatt, he's shown no reason to doubt the progress we've made thus far. Playing horrible nasty football is to an extent what it takes to get you out this division, but once you're on the championship you get found out. It happened to us under parky.

disagree, 3 or 4 maybe

Having read all the during and post match comments, nobody has called out how shite Johnstone was, yet again, in defending the cross that came in and lead to the goal. He must be THE worst centre half we have ever had for heading ability. Just in case you missed it, he never even attempted to jump in the air to try and stop the ball reaching the head of the geezer who scored. Anyway, onwards and upwards, we'll be better next season, auto promotion - especially if GJ learns to head a ball!

Is that a category on xhamster?

My only concern with Evatt is that he doesn’t seem to like players with character, who have an opinion that differs to his. We have no leaders on the pitch and everybody has to play to his instructions even if things aren’t working. Sometimes you just need someone to take the initiative on the pitch but we don’t have that. The nearest we did have were Sarce and Doyler and look what happened there? Evatt has many qualities and he’s done a super job but I do wish he could be a little more humble and accept that sometimes he needs help on the pitch as much as off it.

Twitter mainly. though a few on here seem to never have a good word for Evatt. it’s a minority. But it’s tedious.

At least the fans turned up.

Evatt will have learned a lot from this, that at least 4 of his signings aren’t good enough for where we want to be, big summer coming up, he’s going to be busy

Listen just fuck off and go watch Salford tomorrow with Gary Neville , fucking rag.

To the lads saying Evatt has cost us Do we replace him with anyone in particular?

Harrow cancelled. 3 nights Benidorm it is. Fuck the final, don’t give 2 fucks now. bring August on, pie cunts away in the sun would be nice.

Overall we have had a good season need to have a re-think on the squad. Players out of contract doubt I would resign any of them , Bod is made of glass and Lee his legs have gone the others doubt they would be missed. Dan can go back to Southampton and we could do with selling Vic he’s bobbins. We need a LWB a RWB 2 tough midfielders and 2 strikers and a goal keeper but down to IE now he’s the manager .

Tonight we proved we are not ready to go up.IE will know what needs to be addressed and will sort it.We are getting better season on season and I see no reason why it will not continue.Next season HMS PISS THE LEAGUE

We were never good enough to go up Evatt is a busted flush Predictable, Pep fanboy that proper managers suss out. Im extremely upset. I’ll leave the giddy kippers to their gleeful whining. See you at Wigan.

Commentators spot on, why have possession if you do nowt. Evatt sets us up in a way that is too hard to win games consistently, we don't score/create enough. A second half of a play off match that you're losing and not one shot on target, crap.

What a crap signing he was.

Not good enough for promotion over the season. improvement on last season. keep improving.

Not deserved being in the final after these games.

I don’t mind losing. But would have been nice not to have spent 90 minutes watching us pass the ball back to Santos

Thing is, sometimes for whatever reasons, the other team is that bit better.

Last ten mins all the nerves are on them. We'll get a chance.......hope it falls to Dion....

Everyone is shit reading this. Get 'em all off! Frustrating of course, but not time to turn against them.

Morley's dead balls are shocking tonight

Well the fans are doing their best to raise the team, come on Whites and fess up.

the US and the G7 have agreed to send F16's

The only good ref omen is Uriah.

Glad George is in. IE trusts him and so do I. He’ll go further…..

Along with the consistent failure to pay wages on time this'll be a massive red flag for players who they'll be trying to sign. And they're going to be bargain basement hunting with a vast budget reduction regardless. I enjoyed reading about the suspended penalties for further non-payments and if their owner fails to lodge a sum in the bank for wages by Weds coming. Remember the Summer of 2019 at BWFC? We know that Wigan have a habit of trying to copy all things BWFC but it's getting ridiculous now.

Up this year, a year to regroup then up in plenty of time under FV. 🤗

Yes, there's losing and there's "the rest of the country is laughing at us" losing. We've had our "Stoke" and this is their equivalent. They will be scarred by that next time they are in the play offs, the feeling that even if you win the 1st leg 4-0 you're just setting yourself up for heartbreak that's on another level and leaves an emotional scar.

Aye. Disappointed of couese we all would be. Just go again next time.

I am in the if we don't go up it's massive progress camp, yeah I will be pissed off if we lose tonight, but will look forward to next season with expectations, 3 years ago we were 19th in league 2, now in with a chance of Championship football, big shout out to everyone concerned at the club.

You don't need other opinion's just read the detail; https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-9484/CBP-9484.pdf I think this is my favourite bit; Limited economic effect The Government’s Impact Assessment estimates that the long-run effect of the agreement will be to increase UK GDP by 0.08% or £2.3 billion a year by 2035. Twenty economic sectors are estimated to see an increase in output because of the agreement. It is estimated to have an adverse effect on three sectors, however: agriculture, forestry and fishing; semi-processed foods; and manufacture of other transport equipment (although the effect on this last sector is extremely small). The Impact Assessment notes all these estimates are subject to considerable uncertainty. The small economic effect of the agreement is unsurprising as Australia accounts for a small proportion of UK trade. The UK exported £9.8 billion of UK-Australia free trade agreement 6 Commons Library Research Briefing, 12 May 2023 goods and services to Australia in 2021 (1.6% of all UK exports) and imported £4.6 billion from Australia (0.7% of all UK imports). In addition, barriers to trade with Australia are already relatively low for many products. Let's not knock any deals - BUT - to state that this is a huge triumph being out of the EU is stretching credulity.

im very chilled i make it 60/40 in their favour and prob similar odds if we get to the final so, every chance we lose but its not end of the world if we dont do it...one things for sure theres nowt worse than losing a play off final, so if we are not going up, let it end tonight

I am Sh*****g myself

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia–United_Kingdom_Free_Trade_Agreement You are correct and as I know you like balance, some details and reactions to it in here.

Sat in my van eating a bacon, sausage and egg baton chuckling to myself

Some Mums just don't want to either. Their choice.

So there we have it. Italian football is shit. They are the only country in with a chance of winning all 3 major European club trophies. Pathetic.

Peterborough absolute bottlejobs

That’s the spirit

some on FB and TWATTER are offering there Wife's / Girlfriend's up for a ticket I worked Down Pit and Was on the Picket Line in Yorkshire I must get a Ticket

Some Mum's can't breastfeed, or need to supliment and since wet nurses are out of fashion it's normal.

Au contreau, i was a speedy winger, flairs blowing on the breeze as i whip in a wembley trophy orange ball (slightly flat), with pinpoint precision onto the feather cut of the striker who is only 1 short of his 800 for the season.

Amazing what a Good RUINING can do for you

A million times better than 12 months ago. Thank christ

Some 20 odd year old short film called Shooters appeared on Netflix. Liverpool gangster thing played by real criminals improvising scenes. Very scouse.
