Almost biggest cheer was Pandur’s strong catch from their corner in extra time - loved it !
I was so nervous watching that corner , it took ages to get taken and I had 2 or 3 different daydreams imagining how it was going to end up in the net , bracing myself for the away end to erupt , massive relief when he caught it
 
It was certainly underrated by Wrexham lusting Sky muppet who wrote their match report

The impressive part was even with his foot cocked and ready to shoot he still had time to decide which way he was going to put it.
Showed the keeper to his left and then slid it to his right.
Like a mobile penalty
Excellent stuff
 
Shame on the joy sucking curmudgeonly tosspots at the EFL for not letting Sergej join in the lap of appreciation.
Abridged version, EFL are ****s. :emoticon-0172-mooni

I thought once the referee had left the field following the final whistle the game was officially over? Maybe its the match commissioner and he was stood watching the pitch invasion.

Im certain Jose was allowed to enter the field after a game Chelsea won with him on a touchline ban.
 
I tell you what was really nice yesterday, the crowd actually sang more than the Oli McBurnie song.

It feels like its been a really long time since I've heard From Boothferry to Wembley. We talk a lot about getting the crowd going and in my eyes its because we've stopped singing songs. If we don't the atmosphere tapers out.

I appreciate atmosphere's are always better at games where they actually mean something but I do think as a crowd we need to sing more rather than chant.

One rule for some

People say this a lot, but it's obviously hard to see with any accuracy who is really leading, and we don't know what goes on away from the pitch, so it's inevitable that our biases will take over and Coyle is always an easy target. McBurnie mentioned today that Coyle's speech to the players yesterday had him ready to go and headbutt a wall.
That was my observation of the 90+ minutes on the pitch.

Before/after is anybody's guess.

I actually think it's just a normal rule. I know in RL the field becomes the responsibility of the home crowd once the match commissioner has left the sidelines. I reckon Serg was hard done to and someone didn't make it clear.

How can you ban a manager from the sidelines when there is no game being played? I'm sure he will get a nice reception at Wembley though

Watched a Norwich fan's POV this morning on YT and he commented several times out noisy/loud it was in the stadium. He kept apologising on his VLOG if they couldn't hear him.
 
Playing back the second goal McBurnie's chest was slightly offside. It was too little for the linesman to be sure about in real time.
Looked bang on me, though my glasses do come from Specsavers....Well, I'll clarify that, someone who works for Specsavers!!!! I noticed the lino on that side, shielding his eyes against sun during the second half, clearly lost it against the glare of the bald heads in the Upper West. Thank God for us slapheads.
 
Great ball in from Coyle and nod down from Crooks
We basically won the game by winning important headers and making the most of set plays. Oli's flick on made the opportunity for Gelhardt to win the pen, then Crooks' header across made the second goal, and even the other best chances of the game were from another Giles free kick and another Coyle one which was crossed again by Egan for Crooks to win another header and almost score. Funny how simple the game can be sometimes. We were just better than them in the air and it's rare that that happens.
 
Also, what was that version of Can’t help falling in love with you, at the end?
Why not the Elvis version?
Did I not like that!
