Right so that shit show is out the way....17:00 the big task starts......lets get everyone in. Mrs E isn't playing ball due to being in the office Wednesday and Father in law is using the "i live in spain card" but i've recruit a couple i think to replace them. 

 

Unnecessarily tense last 20 but that's gone now thank fuck. Best part of two weeks to prepare for whoever gets through tomoz. The noise in injury time was fantastic. COYWM

Obviously I am pleased that we still have an opportunity to get to the Championship.

However, I find it very frustrating that we continually give away soft goals and struggle to cope with physical and direct play.

I get all the words, the 'not professional', 'nothing's won yet' stuff.

But it's 10 days off ffs.

9 day bender then 😉😂

Some absolute misery talk on here.

Santos gave me two anxiety attacks during that second half 

Bring on next weekend 

Train booked

Getting grief off an Oxford fan who reckons if they get there we are shit and easy pickings.

He also lives in Australia so taking it with an English allowance of salt.

Glad to hear Evatt saying he's going to bawl them out for that second half performance. OK Santos f***** up, but the lads should never have let it get to them and change what they were doing before. Worst thing we could have done was back off and let Barnsley have the ball and yet we stopped pressing as a team and stopped passing it around when we did have the ball.

Easy to understand how other clubs like this Oxford fella would gain confidence after watching that but...

...the main thing is we're through, the final is a different game and we have 10 days to sort it out and prepare - for whoever we'll be playing.

that's probably the best atmosphere we've ever had at the Reebok 

I'd rather play Oxford than Peterborough - but at Wembley I give us the edge against either.

It’s a play off semi final second leg. Look Sheff Weds did when they got a goal or two - all sense goes out of the window and I actually think we did a good job of controlling the panic after their 3rd.

The Oxford fella can get back in his box too - he needs to be reminded that only a couple of months ago we put 5 past them and they were lucky it wasn’t double. Id be delighted if they go through tomorrow

Nah - playoff second leg against West Brom before we played Preston.

Something in the air that we were really good.

I would agree with that

We get an extra days rest as well hopefully it will go to extra time tomorrow as well 

New shirt sponsor for final

So would I, easier match than Peterborough.

But as I say he's now an aussie ex pat so his 'can't wait to play the shoeless tramps' is water off a Boltonian's back.

Spine tingling tonight.

Who gives a fuck about a 30 minute period that we ultimately survived.

We’re going to bastard Wembley and we’ll have the numbers on the day as well against either of those tinpot cunts.

Best club in the fucking world.

i love football, me, I do.

Clappy hand thingies every week? 

Also, for full disclosure he was called Mum Rah for two years because he went down on a young lady after his best mate shaged her.

It's a very 90s kid reference but always makes me chuckle.

The big pitch suits us down to the ground

Enjoyed that. Its the reason I go. Nervy finishes, slap n dash. Ultimately they're the fun games and ones ya remember 

Like an old worn out boxer Barnsley. When ya think ya miles ahead on points they get a few slugs off and keep ya at wits end. 

We drowned out the last 10 mins plus injury time very well. Cameron again proving his worth. Great watching my 16 year old next to me thinking every barnsley attack would end in a goal ala FIFA , great emotions...

On to.the final and whoever we get it's gonna be a score off. 

 

One that we'll win. 

 

 

Felt like the longest half of football ever that second half. Killed the last 5 brilliantly though. Crowd absolutely superb tonight.

A good analogy

@NlGHTMARE I think you're too pessimistic, chief

I'm uber confident. But then, I'm going to throw myself into the river medway if we lose.

I'm just sick of playing in these crappy leagues.

Can't even be happy for Bromley, a place I've lived for over 10 years, these crappy towns are getting a bit too close for comfort.

Right, when do tickets go on sale?
