Wooo, delighted Bristol got the win, my friends will be in great form now.

As for Leeds in front of a sold-out Elland Road, been done before, play like crap(from reports anyway), yet still get the win. That'll do me, but lets hope they have a bit of a lead to take back to Carlisle with them.

KnifeWRENCH · 10-05-2008 11:22PM

My dubious psychic abilities are indicating that Hull, Carlisle and Rochdale will go up.

*just saw Rochdale were beaten today. Oh well....
It seems like Rochdale and Darlington have been in the 4th tier forever, so I hope whoever wins that semi goes onto promotion.

SantryRed · 11-05-2008 11:42AM

Nerves are jangling already, great to see Smith going up front and the young lad Ainsworth coming in.
Would even take a draw here today as our away from is so much better than our home.

Also, here's a clip of the goal that won the Game for Bristol City, not good quality but you can still see it's a screamer.

HT - Hull 2-0 up

Sh1ttu had a goal disallowed aswell, should have counted

Kingp35 · 11-05-2008 01:05PM

Watford very unlucky so far. They had a perfectly good goal disallowed, I have no idea what the ref saw but nobody else saw anything wrong.

Watford need to score or they are looking at another year in the Championship.

Necronomicon · 11-05-2008 01:18PM

Yeah, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the goal. Goalkeeper protection gone mad.

Edit: And now a red-card for Watford. Bit of a melee, hard to see what it was actually for. If it was for the tackle that led to the handbags, it was harsh.

Edit Edit: Now Danny shittu is gone off injured. Definitely not their day!

SantryRed · 11-05-2008 01:25PM

We've been absolutely robbed. Its unbelievable. The goal in the 4th minute was a goal. No way was it a foul in any way.
If we had of gone one up this would be a totally different game. The confidence that has been lacking would of been back.
And now with that red card, I'm absolutely fuming. If we can get out of the Vic still only two nil down I'll take it. With how good our away forms been this season we could still get a result out there which can get us to Wembley.

Xavi6 · 12-05-2008 03:31AM

1-1 draw for Wycombe. Bit disappointing seeing as Stockport equalised with seven minutes to go. Means a goal is required at Edgeley Park.

Hopefully the 40k in Elland Road will be too much for Carlisle to handle and they will bottle it.

Carlisle won't turn up

Well, the goal after the end will help of course.

Extra Time in the Bristol City V Palace game. Palace winning 1-0. Ben Watson missed a penalty and Trundle hit the bar with a great lob.

Really hope Bristol City win, can't stand Warnock!

Well, he was fantastic tonight. Bristol City deserve it.

Lovely goal from Trundle.

... I'm off to sign that Trundle for Ireland petition

:D:D

Mushy · 14-05-2008 12:58AM

Delighted now that Bristol are through. Heres hoping they get promoted now.

I didn't even know he was gone from Swansea

There I was a few weeks back going 'great Swansea are up a a level, we might see more of Trundle', only to see him with City last night, he might in up in the Primership.

I hope Trap was watching , oh well I see now he was actually he was at a u-23 game.

I hope he watches the final so, oh well I now see he has the game against Serbia that day.

Oh well, no call up for Trundle then.

5ForKeeps · 14-05-2008 09:12AM

The possibility of a Bristol/Hull final at Wembley for the last promotion place to the Premiership...Will be interesting to say the least...

BazBox · 14-05-2008 09:22AM

Reckon Hull have enough to see of Watford, some good experienced players. In saying that they might not be able to hack the premiership if they go up

SantryRed · 14-05-2008 10:22AM

There's no way that Bristol City would last in the Premiership next year. No chance of it as they were only promoted last season as well. They would be just lke Derby this year.

Hoping we can turn this around tonight. Having Henderson back is big and Eustace is available as the appeal was successful. Shows how much it was a joke of a decision.:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the same ref does both legs? I hope not.:mad:

The final is on the 26th afaik.

Anyways, no one should be jumping on the Trundle for Ireland bandwagon. Chaps only scored six goals all season. Not consistent enough.

It's on the 24th, it usually was the Monday (26th this year) but it has moved a bit over the past few yaers.

Trundle should have been picked 5 years ago at least, but I am sure that there will be loads of calls for his inclusion if City get promoted (and if he can keep his place)

citytillidie · 14-05-2008 12:50PM

Yea the moved the Championship play off to the Saturday. Thats usually the best one so only right to move it until then, before the pitch is cut to shreads after the other two games.

Ah well, I think it's better on the Monday. Such a good build up to the Championship final by doing it the other way.

Necronomicon · 14-05-2008 09:35PM

Hull coasting, Watford gave up the ghost long ago. 4-1

Feel sorry for Watford, they were unlucky in the first leg with decisions, but Hull have been far superior. Strongly fancy them to go up.

Benedict XVI · 14-05-2008 10:22PM

Caleb Folan scored for Hull.

Where is the "Folan for Irish Squad" petition, I need to sign it.

SantryRed · 14-05-2008 10:35PM

John Joe O'Toole for the first team squad before him and Trundle:D

Xavi6 · 15-05-2008 02:37AM

Love to see Hull do it. They've got the better chance to stay up imo. Plus I like Nicky Barmby.

Mitch Connor · 15-05-2008 08:24AM

I'd like to see Hull go up, I've a lot of time from Brown. Also, I would like to see Campbell stay on loan there next season and see if he can cut it in the premiership with them.

Kingp35 · 16-05-2008 07:58PM

Doncaster just gone 1-0 up. Walker missed an absolute sitter for Southend just before. Good game so far. Winner gets the right to lose to the mighty Leeds at Wembley

Kingp35 · 16-05-2008 08:58PM

4-0 to Doncaster. Absolutely destroying Southend. Two really good goals from Copinger. If Donny play like this in the final it will be a tough game for Leeds.
