Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United – Championship Play-off Final - Saturday 24th May 2025 - KO 15:00

What a ****ing day man voice is totally gone but what a ****ing game lads, till the end indeed let's ****ing gooooooooook.

 

Well. I am giggin in 2 hours and 10 minutes. And my voice may not be what it normally is. Just have to play more guitar

But you’re right. What a day. The match is a hazy blur now. Hungover this morning like after Coventry despite minimal drinking!! But this boys did us proud and why a few up.

 

Wow Till the end indeed
The day is up there with the best in my many years of supporting the lads. What a rollercoaster A microcosm of supporting SAFC They all stepped up second half non more than RLB Master stroke Jobe / LeFee midfield bossed last 30. What next season hold god knows but KLD has more than delivered so far every faith we will step up but let’s just enjoy the moment

 

Was unreal mate and good luck haha

Was my sons first experience of wembley fair to say we have another die hard feyenoord mackem

 

one big LIKE to all posts after the final whistle.

i will admit that i have been a 'reet moany auld tw@t' on a few occasions across this season but tended to keep off posting at such times because i know those moments would pass, there are a few on here that kept me level by reminding me that whatever happens there is feck all i can do to change it and to just enjoy what these young lads were doing on the pitch, accept they will not be perfect and follow the road...thanks lads.

i was not sure i would see the lads promoted again but here we are, never give up lads because you really never know what is round the corner...whether good or bad it is times such as these that make it worth the ride, 66 years old and i was stood in the back garden screaming like a kid 'YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS' and i don't give a feck if anyone heard me.

on to the next chapter.

 

Christ. This drive back is seeing me off !

 

Oh god look what you’ve done Filling up again

 

It changes things for a lot of people reading your made up s hite.

 

Give it a rest man Christ

 

Great post. Taking a step back and look at what’s been achieved since KLD took over. The club were on the verge of administration as a fan you sometimes get to close and too emotionally involved. But Other fans are looking on envious and saying why cant their club do a Sunderland

 

I wish they wouldn’t take ‘till the end’ so literally My hands were shaking for them last 10 mins and heart was bursting out my chest

 

ive absorbed too much content

 

Just a supporter as well as a player. Brilliant to see.

 

Lol - clearly if he wasn’t so fat he would have dived too far for that save in 2nd minute. I reckon it must have been part of the plan. He’s fat, he’s round, he saves them on the ground Patto, patto

 

Even In the minute we were 2 nowt down I never felt like that was it for us. Then a voice behind me nervously said 'var check'
I'll never forget it.

 

i just remember saying to my son, swansea again, we can still do it...the VAR altered the whole game i feel.

 

Obviously different watching the goals back now but at the time, I thought Roberts pass was under hit and Watsons shot too soft.

 

I was that’s it at 2 nil. I feared a pummelling. Then the VAR check and I was these never go for us and when the ref was called over I was hopeful and when it was given in our favour I was hoping it was the jolt our lot needed and they responded magnificently.

 

Impossible. I’m just glad it’s a bank holiday weekend

 

I'll try and answer it for you mate, Wilder made 5 changes in his 3 allowed slots we made 4 in our 3 allowed slots. Their centre half went down in our box after all the subs were used but with a head injury and concussion protocols it allows both teams to make an extra sub outside of the allotted slots for substitutions. Their made 6 and we made 5 by the end of the match.
