Winco Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’ll say this now that is the best Wednesday performance I’ve ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Give over. I get the emotion tonight but you'll never beat Wembley in 91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way I agree, but the performance and what we needed to do to win/get through the tie tonight was harder than in 91 was (IMO). Everybody wrote us off tonight, including me, where as I thought we had a chance against Man Yoo with our squad back in 91, especially with Big Ron in charge. Nice thing to argue about and debate over though, rather than how bad we are/were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in 91 skamp and the other major matches from that era, I just think this one after the season we’ve had getting well and truly dry bum fucked Friday and the colossal task we gave our selves tonight. It’s hard to compare other games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleadless Owl Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Funny thing is I don't think we actually played that well from a footballing perspective. It was just a proper old fashioned putting them under pressure and bombarding them job and they wilted. Sort of thing we haven't done enough over the last 20 years 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. BUT. Put all the parts together, and it was just something else. Pure drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we clearly had a plan to use the wings and get crosses in, none of our goals actually came from the plan. Even with a million corners, we got our chances through second balls or afterwards and not the actual corners or crosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billysboy Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Beating those piggy scumbags in the semi at wembley, the greatest I've felt coming out of a match, last night was close but just fell short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did feel rather good! Point is though that we should have been beating them. It should have been 10-1. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelinblue Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 The effort and never say die spirit was unparalleled. That is why I loved it so much, not for the importance, rivalry or the quality. Pure effort and commitment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
